The ChiComs don’t need a lab.

Just Mother Nature and plane tickets.

And those conditions will still exist after the WuFlu hysteria is over.

it could have still “escaped” from the lab without having to have been “made” in the lab.

Get back to us when the Communist China opens up
Wuhan for a investigation of the source of the chinese virus .

The chinese are now denying it began there .
Do you believe that too from the CCP ?

This article conflates “escaped from a lab” with “created in a lab”. The virus may have been isolated in a lab, and then proliferated and released (intentionally or not). Examining its structure does not provide any insight in that regard.

No hysteria.
Go visit a NYC ER and tell them its just hysteria .
Commie Chinese are denying it began there.
We have no idea how many are infected or dead in China .
We have no idea of how it started .
The CCP has banned everyone from. going to Wuhan with a
dangerous sloppy spy ridden bioweapon lab .

Wow, That's some strong propaganda from Faux News. Part of the Chinese Charm Defense, I suppose.

This is most comprehensive collection of scientific data I've found. It's much more than a web site spewing a favored conspiracy. There's significant depth and scope to the data for those that like to make their own conclusions. I don't believe anything coming from the MSM.

This is so lame that it appears deliberate FAKE NEWS.

The argument is essentially: This isn’t human-engineered because it’s not the way “We” would have done it.

Ridiculous.

Someone lining their pockets with Yuan?

Maybe this was nature..but chapel hill clearly shows it also might not be because scientists did it in a live mouse.. Live science story is junk

Clinton playbook 101:

If you get caught for rape, get Sidney Blumenthal to circulate a rumor that you also killed the woman. Then when she’s found alive declare yourself vindicated.

Wuhan has the only level 4 pathogen lab in China.

Science magaine reported on the risks of this lab in 2017:

https://www.nature.com/news/inside-the-chinese-lab-poised-to-study-world-s-most-dangerous-pathogens-1.21487

The virus appeared within a mile of this lab

The Chinese lied and said it originated in an animal maket

There are animal markets in every city but only Wuhan has a level-4 pathogen lab that studies viruses like this one

It later turns out that the earliest cases were not associated with the lab.

Occams razor says the virus escaped from the lab. If it turns out to be a natural virus, then Occams razor says it’s a natural virus they were studying in the lab.

Then someone starts a rumor the virus was engineered and then that rumor is disproven. That has nothing to do with the preceeding

It is a heck of a weapon. A weapin of mass economic destruction. Low fatality rate, super high infection rate, lives for long time on surfaces. Don’t kill your enemies, make them poor and work for you.

You read that article? it’s scientifically quite convincing. Not everything is a conspiracy and the facts laid out make sense.

It is convincing. But, what could have happened is that they "found" it locally, and were playing playing with it when it got away from them. It just has some great qualities that are desirable in a bio-weapon. And, it's definitely from Wuhan's neighborhood.

But, my rant is just another "could have."

Bat soup is the media’s new Russian hacking. The stooges have told us what to think, so pipe down and quit making waves.

There is a very high probablility the Wuhan Flu escaped from the lab in Wuhan.

More like......There is a very high probablility the Wuhan Flu escaped was released from the lab in Wuhan.

My bet is we’ll see more ER visits that lead to admissons for influenza this year than for WuFlu.

Are you as freaked about influenza?

I have a problem with the conclusions of this article.

The ACE receptor is probably one of the most studied and understood receptors in the human body. Yes, this a ‘Novel’ mechanism of attachment and entrance to the human cell via the ACE receptor. Be that as it may, it doesn’t prove that it wasn’t designed. The governments could have access to: 1) ability to create a novel entrance. 2) another virus with similar binding that is ‘unknown worldwide’ that it could have been copied from. 3. There is potential with super computing that it could have been designed de novo.

Because it’s ‘Novel’ doesn’t mean it wasn’t ‘man made or human re-engineered’.

It’s certainly more convincing than any of the dismissive comments in this thread from people that “just know” China was behind it all.

This has been a public service announcement. (paid for by the Chinese government).

They could have stolen it....did it themselves..or had that harvard guy help them

They knew it could be done after Chapel hill.

There is something about the bat not being local but cant remember story
