To your point, there's still no proof, only "likely". The guy had a theory prior. Now it appears as if he predicted the future. That's it. That's all there is. His self-bias is not proof.
It's these type of "scientist" and this type of "journalism" that gives science and journalism a bad name.
- derbOac 4y agoYes when it started out with a discussion of how he knew in 2014 an epidemic would emerge from the market I immediately became skeptical. At this point, I'm deeply skeptical of any attempts to prove anything about COVID origins, short of maybe some leaked records or something. Any epi analysis is based on known cases which is horribly naive when approaching this subject. I realize this sounds closed minded or something but to me it's just a matter of time. Too much time passed, with too much interference from too many parties, to make much sense of it.
