NYT: We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives

Because the animals with COVID were probably dead before anyone tested.

Give it a rest. They tested live and dad animals. And absolutely nothing in your Scientific American op ed verified an animal to human transmission. No proven host animal. I am reasonably sure that they can find the connected DNA in the bats where Covid is thought to originally have started as well.

ROFLMAO!!!! They tested hundreds of animals. Do you seriously think there was just one offending animal in that big bad wet market that infected numerous individuals before getting purchased and eaten? You don't think other animals were infected?

How many do you believe it would require?

Who believes that?

First, post evidence of a host animal.

Why? Finding a host animal isn’t the ONLY evidence of zoonotic transmission . Particularly in a zoonotic transmission.
Can you find any scientific evidence that supports a lab leak?

Finding a host animal is the only possible evidence that a zoonotic transmission took place at the wet market.

Can you find any specific evidence of a host animal from the Wuhan wet market?

No it’s not. No way no how. There are zoonotic transmissions that occur all the time and the host animal is never known.

Again, you've posted absolutely nothing that supports your position that lab origin is backed by scientific consensus, and several people have posted, repeatedly, evidence that zoonotic transmission is the overwhelming scientific consensus today.

Generally, when the evidence is that strongly stacked on one side, the implication is that the idea of an opposing view is batshit crazy. I wouldnt want to think that here, so please post your evidence.

Trump was not likely aware of it until the pandemic hit. Afterall DOGE was not yet a thing.

Trump is not aware of many things. Using your position then one could say Biden was not aware either because DOGE "was yet a thing:"
Though Trump prided himself on knowing more than anyone. :LOL:

MAGAnificent said:
Get back to us when you have evidence of a host animal. Until then, a lab leak is in fact the prevailing theory.

The Deep State made sure the animal was eaten at the start of the pandemic. So no carcass exists anymore.:ROFLMAO:
MAGAnificent said:
And once again, if a host animal is determined, I will back off on the lab leak theory. They tested hundreds of animals at the wet market and came up with nothing.
Click to expand...
and one again when the evidence is provided that proves it came from the lab I will accept that theory as the correct one.
I have said both theories are possible.
 


April 2025: We learn for the first time that:
- Scientists with the Defense Intelligence Agency argued the genome had signs of engineering and that the Wuhan lab could perform just such experiments
- 7 athletes at the October 2019 World Military Games in Wuhan had COVID-like symptoms before the first official U.S. case
- A FOIA'd document from the Dept. of Energy about its origins assessment comes back entirely redacted

You probably think that's proof of zoonotic origin.

Well. It must be true because it’s on twitter x right?

Think about it for more than a minute.
In fact be sure to think about it before posting anything from twitter x as fact.

Says the guy posting fraudulent studies to claim its proof it was zoonotic.

Nothing fraudelent about the studies I cited.
You are of course welcome to provide a scientific citation showing they are fraudulent.

But of course we know the only source you have is the same source that gave us such gems as “ they eating the dogs, they are eating the cats”

You can be controlled through a twitter x post.
Lmao!!!
 
Leftoids loved the pandemic. They got free money and work closed(assuming they actually had jobs).

They'll fight you tooth and nail about the correctness of quarantine.

Some of them are five and six jabs in and still don't question anything when they get COVID.

Trump was a political novice in his first term. There were a few things he was not aware of, for instance how prevalent the deep state is. Biden has been in politics since the 1970s and was already suffering from dementia when he took office in January 2021. I know you never accepted that, however since the 2024 election, members of Joe's own staff are cashing in on book deals, interviews, etc, and Joe's cognitive decline can no longer be denied.

I am not claiming 100% that the pandemic started from a lab leak I believe it did, and it is in fact now the prevailing theory. And it's not just about science, it's also about intelligence. The intelligence community now accepts a lab leak is the most likely scenario. However, by all means come up with a proven host animal and all that will change.

The people with intelligence can grasp that lab leak is definitely not the prevailing theory with scientists.
