    When has not having "the necessary information" ever kept you and your ilk from posting an ignorant opinion?

    Whether there is enough information to determine which theory (Wet Market - Lab Leak) is the true origin of COVID really makes no difference. There is ample information to determine that the Lab Leak Theory was viable from the very beginning and should have never been classified as misinformation and discussion thereof censored by a coordinated effort by the powers that be.

    Hence the reason so many people have made up their minds (or, rather, had their minds made up for them) and now refuse to believe the lab leak theory. They’re what is known as “sheeple”.

    I'm not exaggerating when I say though "viable", a safer bet would be playing the lottery. Lab leak isn't taken seriously because it's such a slim chance.

    We could also discuss how it's technically impossible to disprove that aliens secretly visited us and left it behind, or maybe it was released from melting glaciers, but we don't because those ideas are so disrooted from reality.

    What is not rooted in reality is being told to believe (and then actually believing) that the virus originated in some mutant bat like some comic-book storyline instead of the Wuhan virus coming from, literally, the Wuhan virus laboratory.

    As slim a chance as incriminating information showing up on the laptop of the President's son, rather than being planted by the Ruskies?

    Murphy's Law dictates that when one is in the habit of tempting fate, fate eventually wins out.

    No!
    That is the odds of Trump becoming a Dictator if elected President.
    The Lab Leak Theory odds are closer to hitting an exacta in a 3 horse race. Maybe even closer to that of hitting a quinella in a 3 horse race.

    Good Lord!!!

    With you around, Typhoid Mary would have been the Greatest Medical Experimenter in History.

    You really have to work on that what if thing you have going.

    Disroot this......

    (BTW, what does disroot even mean?....be careful when you throw verbal stones at others about what something even means. It comes back to grab your gonads)

    Oh, and.... Clown

    Disrooted from reality . . .
    Datrooted from reality . . .

    Who can argue with something rooted in reality?

    Then again, rarely is the
    liberal perspective tainted by realism!

    Well, given you're all resistant to actually trying to understand the chances of it being from the lab, the next thing to ask is why do you want it to be from the lab so badly?

    That statement ranks as one of the Top Ten silliest Debate rebuttals in the history of Gish galloping.
    In fact, it may be tied for the Top One.

    Jesus, stupid is as stupid does. Forrest was right.

    I get that the odds of natural direct transmission far exceed laboratory mutation and release, but that doesn't rule out the involvement of viral research in releasing COVID-19 worldwide.

    Mother Nature, and her long-standing adaptation / refinement of our Earthly existence maintains a natural advantage in all matters. The unnatural machinations of mankind too often flip that advantage, abruptly throwing things out of balance, retarding her ability to timely respond.

    The very possiblity that "proactive" research in the viral sciences may be overstepping natural boundaries (my words, not those of others) may itself have unleashed COVID-19 upon the Earth and cost us millions of inhabitants.

    That is what I meant when referencing Fauci playing with fire.

    It's no different than concerns over artificial intelligence or genetic engineering . . . when and where to stop is unknown until after one has gone too far.

    As Dirty Harry once said, "Man's got to know his limitations".

    I present GMO, for consideration.

    The Wet Market Theory also discounts the possibility a natural jump actually occurred inside the lab.

    I see your point and appreciate your understanding of the relative odds, but I think we do ourselves a disservice if we demonize and slow scientific progress. It has always been the case that reactionaries oppose progress, many scientists have been persecuted throughout history before their ideas were eventually accepted. Must we continue the cycle?

    Given the deficit of evidence, how do you take the position there are only those 2 possibilities? I am unaware that it has been narrowed down that much. Can you let us in on your insight?

    You mean as was done with those who supported the Lab Leak Theory?

    You got any other theories on the origins of Covid? Start a discussion. I may have an opinion pro or con and I may even voice it. What you will not get from me is a concerted effort lobbying the powers that be to censor your theory and demonize you for putting it out there for consideration.

    I think it deserved to be squashed like that to be honest. Given the lack of evidence for it and large evidence for a natural origin, it was clearly politically motivated. There's this idea in politics that: if you can present an alternative idea, it's just as worthy as any other theory. The idea that we should "hear both sides" really isn't true. All ideas are not equal and not worthy of platforming equally. Why should we treat the lab leak theory equally when evidence has never been in its favor?
