There's literally an alternative proposed leak method that is the current consensus (market) that is more believable than the lab-leak theory.

- jrm4 3y agoThis is the wet market theory, yes? I presume these wet markets exist in places other than Wuhan. Yeah, nah, that one is only "more believable" propped up by e.g. xenophobia and racism. Falls way too neatly into "look at the weird Chinese people they eat bats" or whatever. Pretty flimsy compared to "lab that literally does this kind of virus all day."
- someuser2345 3y agoIt's also a more convenient theory for the Chinese government. Its much less embarrassing to say "The virus came from rednecks eating weird things" than it is to say "The virus came from a government funded lab".
