What is strange to me observing all of this debate is that the natural origin theory seems to mostly rely on a Occam’s razor argument that pushes the lab leak theory into a “burden of proof” territory. Ok fine, I’m on board…simple is better and more likely.
However, the shear amount of coincidences that seem be piling up and pointing towards lab leak as plausible perhaps even probable do not seem to be balanced with similar coincidental discovery of new evidence on the natural origin side of the debate.
The other piece of this that has to be taken under consideration…is two very powerful governments were intertwined in research into this very topic and both after the virus started raging have attempted to obfuscate the origin either by directly suppressing evidence or using political pressure to diffuse the lab leak hypotheses. This is known…and matters.
So at what point does the Occam’s razor reasoning shift and the much more simple explanation is that two powerful entities probably are hiding direct evidence of a lab leak because there are 7M people dead? I think it’s reasonable for people like Nate to have a shift in thinking and to start questioning…frankly, everything.
