Not surprising, definitely sickening to actually hear it though.

Wow. This virus was likely not engineered. The DNI, and tons of reputable science organizations agree. DNI eventually muddled their assessment, to allow for the possibility, but that was after pressure from POTUS a day after he made an unsupported claim.

Back in Feb I saw an article that was mostly hard science and it contained the entire genetic sequence of the virus including descriptions for each protein spike and what infection, symptom or mechanism they supported. The authors of that article also concluded it wasn’t man-made. That said I haven’t been able to find the article for months.

Here’s the DNI assessment. After being watered down.

Yes. It's easy to spot Franken-DNA that's been modified.

Also PRC has absolutely zero incentive to engineer such a virus (unless they were trying to make a live-attenuated version for a vaccine).

And yet an escape from a P-4 lab that is studying something that occurred naturally is scarcely unprecedented.

There is a reason that the US - back when we were dabbling with naturally occurring pathogens for biowarfare - did it at Dugway Proving grounds, which if you’ve never been there, just trust me, you haven’t missed a damn thing.



Locating such a facility in a city of 11 million with a population density of 1152 people per square kilometer is perhaps not the ideal place to put such a lab.

Agree with the chem-trails scenario, but your statement of the entire globe implies the earth is round. We all know the earth is flat.

BS. Such a virus has zero military utility, none whatsoever. They wouldn't waste the money, they NEED that money for all of the REAL military expansion they are doing.



It is plausible that it escaped from the lab. More likely it came from the wild via the wet market, there's a REASON that lab was located where it is....
uranium had no military value.....until research developed one.
Are you suggesting the CCP has no bio weapons program.
Because they dont have any money?

Personally I see this as more proof it didn't originate maliciously from the Wuhan Lab because I'm sure China has facilities like Dugway out in the Gobi desert somewhere, which would be better suited for that type of work. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if the virus was released accidentally through bad biowaste protocols, but Chinese wet markets are such a breeding ground for zoonotic viruses that it just seems like the most probable cause. Also, this is, what, the third pandemic in the last 20 years to come from a Chinese wet market? I think it's high time we crack the whip on China for their damn wet markets.
