A lab accident in Wuhan is unlikely only in the sense that a pandemic virus’s emergence is always the culmination of a series of unlikely events. If it weren’t, we wouldn’t be here as a species.
This trillion-to-one collision of circumstances can be simplified in one obvious way. Say, if a human agent collected the most dangerous viruses to study them in the middle of one of the densest population centers on earth. These experimenters would at least have been alert, if all other precautions failed, to a coworker developing unexplained symptoms. Except that the Sars-Cov-2 virus, once it was loose in a human crowd, showed that it can be spread by people who never develop symptoms.
Preventing future pandemics, being better prepared next time—these are the reasons given for trying to understand how the new coronavirus emerged. But one instance of a virus bridging the species gap the natural way might be an anecdote that doesn’t tell us much about the next risk. The lab theory is the big fork in the road. We might have to reset our risk perceptions dramatically—worry less about humans messing around in animal habitats, worry more about scientists messing around in labs.
On that basis alone, the lab theory is the most important informational chokepoint as we move ahead. But there’s another reason. If the lab theory remains unresolved, especially if China’s refusal to cooperate makes it unresolvable, it will hang over global politics for decades to come even without conspiracy theorists and demagogues taking a hand.
Alas, the World Health Organization mission is turning into a case of disaster foretold. A credible inquiry requires China’s full cooperation, not just cooperation with those lines of inquiry that are consistent with its own propaganda.

>> if China’s refusal to cooperate makes it unresolvable, it will hang over global politics for decades to come even without conspiracy theorists and demagogues taking a hand.
China’s unwillingness to cooperate and their destruction of early samples and deaths of early doctors treating patients MAKES this a criminal conspiracy regardless of the origins of the virus.
“conspiracy theorist”.
Well, folks. There you have it. The WSJ is all in for China.
Why do say that? The piece is critical of China.
full bs
Why do say that? The piece is critical of China.
Accident my ass!!
For whatever reason, Big Leftist Media is going out of their way to NOT blame China for this virus mess.
And that includes labelling ANYONE who suggests that China caused it as racist, insane, or a conspiracy theorist. Or all three.
Big Media as “our society’s watchdog” is a total joke. Those idiots are completely bought off already

“Accident my ass!!”
We’ll probably never know, but does it matter?
What matters to me is that FRANCE built that Lab for them, despite our government objections at the time...although many here, no doubt supported its stated purpose (preventing future SARS outbreaks).
One of the the causalities of not teaching about horrors of Communism is that people then have NO CLUE as to who Communists are and what they can do, if they get power. We see it DC now (just starting, by the way, far, far, worse soon coming) and in this case, ‘what could go wrong’ with giving China that capability...or turning China into an industrial superpower far larger than the US and on a par with the entire Western world combined.
...and so the centuries of Western domination of the planet comes to a quick end, early in the 21st century. Sucks.
Who was it they funded a lab to study these viruses in such a densely populated area? Unless what has been reported was a lie, it was Dr. Fauci. Why is he not the goat of all time for this, rather than Mr. Expert?
The way I see it, the riots, the virus and lockdown, the steal, none of it is coincidence, all of it is engineered.
Thanks again for the archive link. You are appreciated, FRiend!
Good piece. I notice he never mentioned Fauci and his GOF crusade.
