I believe the lab leak is 70/30 the truth. But the unpopular opinion here is governments can't officially accuse state actors unless you have good proof and these intelligence assessments only were decided in the past year.

Maybe there was super classified intel that they knew earlier but for the US to accuse China in 2020 and then China asks for proof and we say 'it's classified to protect methods/sources' would have been a shyt storm. Conspiracy theorists on the Chinese internet sites at the time were claiming the US planted it in Wuhan to hurt China. What if they claimed 'classified' evidence of this.

What would really be helpful is if other countries had helpful assessments. UK or EU or Japan. But honestly they are probably scared of PRC pushback.
I'm 98.987654321% sure that Covid was a man-made virus brewed up in the Wuhan virus facility. No smoke without fire.

Folks it's china. We may never find out a 100% proof of how it happened exactly. It may have come from the labs by accident or not acciden, maybe from those stupid ass food markets. China is a huge huge territory controlled by communists. They hide their secrets very fast, usually by threats. Up to this day we don't know how many chinese approx. were slaughtered or died from starvation in mao zedong's hongweibing era from 1950s to 1970s. The number can go from 10-20 million to a fukking 50+ million. This isn't a country you can trust, unless of course you're a dumbass like Richard Nixon who shook hands with the mass murderer.

None of y’all actually read that article. You only read the sensationalized ass headline. They aren’t confident in their findings and 4 other agencies don’t agree with them. Parts in bold below are important

I expect better posting than this from the OP


“The new report highlights how different parts of the intelligence community have arrived at disparate judgments about the pandemic’s origin. The Energy Department now joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation in saying the virus likely spread via a mishap at a Chinese laboratory. Four other agencies, along with a national intelligence panel, still judge that it was likely the result of a natural transmission, and two are undecided.

The Energy Department’s conclusion is the result of new intelligence and is significant because the agency has considerable scientific expertise and oversees a network of U.S. national laboratories, some of which conduct advanced biological research.

The Energy Department made its judgment with “low confidence,” according to people who have read the classified report.
Even so, people were censored and banned from social media platforms for discussing an alternative now there is a valid alternative to the initial narrative. It's a shame.

No people dying from a virus due to misinformation spread is a shame. I don't give a fukk about conspiracy theorists rightfully being silenced when they were spreading a shyt ton of misinformation in more way than just some "lab leak" bullshyt that the article clearly paints out the energy department isn't confident in. I'm glad those people got ran out of public spaces. That's how folks like that should always be treated. fukk them, they can die fukking slow for all I care.

But the lab leak now has people with credibility believing it so how was it misinformation? And talking about the origins of the virus isn't going to kill anybody. lol
You are sad people died from misinformation but also want misinformed to die slow. What?! lol
The president, Rachel Maddow and Fauci said the vax would stop transmission. It didn't therefore yhat's misinformation about the actual effects of the vax not benign questions about the origins. Do you want them to die slow to?

The article also says that they still haven't found evidence for the animal that would/could have been have been patient zero, which reinforces the lab-leak hypothesis

What really worries me is distrust and even contempt for public health is pretty mainstream now. If another pandemic happens, like similar to the 1911 Avian flu, people are going to be like 'fukk it' or 'herd immunity' and the consequences are going to suck
We quite literally started a war and killed millions of people in Iraq over faulty intel, so yeah the part in bold is straight up not true

We also LITERALLY l KILLED A HEAD OF STATE IN IRAN over faulty intel

Some of us didn’t just casually memory hole the bush and trump presidencies

Ok maybe I should revise and say you don't accuse powerful state actors without a good reason. Iraq and Iran were weak so they figured they could get away with it.

I never got covid, I still take precautions when going into a store.

do you seriously believe everybody in America got covid?
No, but do you seriously believe that you haven't got Covid just because you never had symptoms? You are here arguing but don't seem to realize that most cases were asymptomatic.
