No, I don’t think it proves that, but it does prove that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was experimenting with creating new forms of bat coronaviruses, and speculating on what changes would be necessary for them to cause an epidemic in humans, ostensibly for “academic purposes”.

Yeah, to me that means "engineered." They clearly were looking for ways to create a bio-weapon and unfortunately for them, they were successful and it got out of the lab.

Ok, checking myself: how far outside of reality is the above statement? I don't want to sound like a loon. At the same time, I want to know the truth.

It's a blurry line these days: being a loon vs. being a truthteller.

BTW: You’re clearly more well read and informed on this topic so I very much appreciate your opinion.
