Even for the people that have always thought so, this must be uncomfortable. This is only the 1st engineered virus which brought the world upside down. We may be living in a biological war already, or at least some potential for weaponization.
- ajross 4y agoNo one is claiming this was an "engineered virus" (and the evidence for is really thin, FWIW). The finding in the linked article is only that a lab leak is the most probably origin of the pandemic. That's the problem with this discourse. Everyone has gone full absolutist and views even relatively sane, nuanced positions as evidence for nonsense like "we may be living in a biological war already". The fact that those of us in the "it's probably a natural virus" camp may have been wrong about WIV involvement doesn't validate your favorite conspiracy theory!
- seydor 4y agoThe article does not say it's not an engineered virus either. What's the hypothesis here, that the virus naturally arose only inside the lab where it infected one person? Or if it occured naturally in the wild, how come that it infected only one person inside the lab , since it's easy to infect
