“Dr Kristian Andersen, a Danish evolutionary biologist, co-authored a now-notorious research paper published in March 2020 that denounced the origin scenario as a conspiracy theory and xenophobic.”
“the scientists involved claim they changed their minds between sending the messages and writing the paper.”
Ergo, a sound conclusion became a “conspiracy theory” and “xenophobic”, at the exact moment that these arbiters of truth changed their minds.
IOW, they lied.
I seriously doubt that it “escaped”
Way too many “accidents” and “coincidences” these days
Huh……
Scientists lie…..
Huh…..
If Republicans can keep this drumbeat of releases, the libs are going to freak out.
‘Rona erupts right next to a lab where they are studying.... uh ‘rona.
Well, duh!
Scientists and the Government lied.
Well, duh!
Sounds like rooski disinformation to me. 😳😂👍
The biggest evidence against the “lab leak” story is that the earliest cases of Covid were centered at or near the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market several miles away.
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8715
“The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was the early epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Had the virus escaped from the lab, the earliest cases would have been clustered around the lab area, not the market.
While it is possible for researchers who are doing experiments on a virus to accidently catch the virus, this is highly unlikely since the lab operates under strict biosafety protocols.
Even if there were a lab leak of a virus under study, that would not be a “smoking gun” that anyone created the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In order to create a brand new virus, we would need a far better understanding of protein structure, function, and interactions than we currently have. Because viruses cause disease through the functions of their proteins. Even trying to piece together existing parts of viruses to develop something that could cause a human pandemic is a hit-or-miss activity. Without extensive testing, there is no way to know if a virus would have the desired activity. There is no evidence that the lab in Wuhan conducted tests of Frankenstein viruses to see if any would have pandemic potential. Furthermore, if a virus were altered or patched together in that fashion—or if it was completely fabricated from scratch—the fact that it isn’t natural would be picked up immediately the first time the virus was sequenced. To a molecular biologist, the evidence that a genetic element has been altered is as obvious as the evidence that a board results from the unnatural alteration of a tree.
Every word that comes from our government is a lie.
Every single word.

Making Deliberate False Statements for compensation or gain used to called FRAUD, and it is a Major Felony
Did not skate. It was deliberately released. The lab leak theory is a fallback position from their original position that it happened from bat soup at the market. That was a deliberately lie. When that lie was no longer tenable, their fallback position was lab leak. When it became obvious it was existing in the lab, and was created there, that leaves you two choices deliberately released, or leaked. The fact that they were denying its existence tells me this is a fallback position. It was deliberately released into the wild, not that deadly of a virus, but it was designed to give the Chinese an excuse to shut down riots and lock everyone indoor. Riots have been spreading in Wuhan and Shanghai and threatened to go nationwide. In America, Donald Trump was a runaway freight train for reelection. Releasing the virus was their way to kill both of those problems.
Violation of The Prime Directive for any US-government funded lab worker.
No/ zero C-19 vaxxc for me, I never would have thought that FR would become an anti-C19 vaxx hub__________________ But here we are in summer 2023
My Question: Christian Anderson, and all these other people in various global research institutes did NOT have the power to tell NY Times what to write. They didn’t have the power to tell Steven Colbert to make jokes about “conspiracy theorists” on his late-night TV show. They didn’t have the power to censor Twitter or Facebook
So WHO coordinated this narrative and the overwhelming propaganda response denying the Wuhan lab-leak??
