More and more people are having doubts about the origin of the desease. What would happen if it is demonstrated that the virus was created in a Chinese lab?
There are still rumors, but US intelligence has agreed the virus was not engineered/modified (there would be telltale signs in the RNA strands, as I understand it), so the only remaining question is whether the virus "evolved" naturally (willfully guided or no) and then was released from a lab (accidentally or no)...but given the nature of the virus, it doesn't seem that logical to knowingly release a virus that you have no control over and that is not really guaranteed to spread anywhere outside of Wuhan.
If this were intentional/weaponized, why not release the virus somewhere far, far away from the lab where it was purportedly created instead of drawing attention to the virology lab? So really the only thread of conspiracy theory left is that China was trying to weaponize it, and it got accidentally released before it should have. But there's no reason this explanation would be more likely to have occurred than just the scenario where the lab was researching viruses in general, you know, as virology labs are designed to do, and someone got infected and it got released thereby.
That would all be *if* the virus even traces back to the lab...a link that is in no way established. Currently, the earliest traceable path goes to the wet market, but there is some evidence that it did not start there because there are signs of earlier cases, so maybe a human being brought it to the wet market instead of it making some zoonotic jump from an infected animal. This is all normal for tracing patient zero, and there's no reason to jump to conclusions unless you have an ideological agenda.
So, instead of people assuming it was done on purpose, maybe they should investigate without a pre-decided conclusion already in place .
P.S. I am not assuming Congrandolor is doing this, this is a point for anyone that is eagerly sitting at home waiting for evidence that the Commies in China released the virus, knowing it would hurt them but hopeful it would hurt us more, which they have already decided is true. Those kind of people always require a handy Boogeyman to direct all their fear and hate towards. For lots of people worldwide, the US is their Boogeyman, and the trumped up rumors and conspiracy theories are just as bad...the virus was invented in Gitmo in a secret biological warfare lab so dangerous it can't be kept on US soil, using foreign political prisoners as guinea pigs, then given to an American cyclist and an Italian DJ to spread at the games in Wuhan. It's absurd. Everybody needs to cut out the BS and wait for real answers, and then be open to seeing the truth of those answers.
Well, Trump said he has proof it is but then did not provide any. Just like he said many things during this pandemic, and most of those turned out to be b.llsh.t .
I guess playing the blame game really is not important now, it Just serves as a diversion tactic more than anything. And this goes for everyone, I Don't care If it's China blaming the US or the US blaming China, it is only done for political purpose and helps in nothing to find a way to get rid of the virus.
If it turns out to be from a lab in Wuhan then well, it won't help for China's reputation which already got hit pretty hard during the pandemic. If it turns out to be somewhere else then so it is.
