OK, cool. Sounds like you and Hammy have all kinds of REAL non-wacky peer reviewed evidence to support your claim that it came from a wet-market then. Lets see it. Put us in our place.

The evidence that is leaking all points to a lab manipulated virus. All of it. You have zero evidence that it came from the wet market except that China says so. Thats it. Thats all you have and yet the facts speak to it being a lab leak and you call it a conspiracy theory. Sorry chief, you lost this one. Take it like a grown man and accept it
What evidence? There has been no new evidence..... Just your wacky non-peer reviewed hoakum from nobodies
So, was it a lab leak or nah?

This thread is filled with all the evidence.

Actually no, there is clear evidence that viral crossovers occur in nature, several times every year throughout human history. Your claim that this one alone came from an evil Chinese lab is the thing being claimed without any basis. The claim that yet another virus infecting people came from where most of them do really isn't controversial for sane people.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 8:23 pmAnd you have zero evidence, except China said so, that it came from the market.AnalHamster wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 8:21 pmYes, claiming with zero evidence that there was a 'lab leak' is indeed stupid when you have absolutely no basis for the claim.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:23 pmThen that same unassailable standard applies to the lab leak you fucking pompous twat.AnalHamster wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 4:59 pmWell yes, you fucking moron, no 'specific evidence' of anything is an undeniable fact.

That doesn't actually require peer review dummy, you need to come up with something first. I don't need peer review to dispute a claim that you saw a unicorn. You need to show us your unicorn first. Then we can examine it and show if it's really a horse with a horn glued to its head. If you are saying 'I saw one prove I didn't', well, I can't. But ask yourself, do you on that basis, believe in unicorns? If not, why not?

Re: So, was it a lab leak or nah?
There is no evidence that this virus came about naturally other than viruses occurring naturally since the beginning of time. The problem with you conspiracy nuts is that you have already concluded that not only was this created in a lab but that it was created for nefarious purposes. And you have no evidence. None.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 10:02 pmSo you have no specific evidence then. You have a maybe. Your straw man is bull shit. No one is arguing it hasn't or can't happen.

So the entirety of your evidence is that there was a lab in the area? And you want me to find a peer reviewed study disputing your conspiracy theory which has absolutely no evidence to dispute?CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 8:52 pmThis specific crossover you tedious twat. No one is claiming it doesnt ever happen. We are saying it probably didnt happen THIS TIME since, you know, there is a lab a mile down the road that studies various types of corona virus.AnalHamster wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 8:30 pm
Actually no, there is clear evidence that viral crossovers occur in nature, several times every year throughout human history. Your claim that this one alone came from an evil Chinese lab is the thing being claimed without any basis. The claim that yet another virus infecting people came from where most of them do really isn't controversial for sane people.
Again, if you are so sure you should be able to post some peer reviewed links confirming its origination then. Cool. I'll be happy to check them out once you post them.
That doesn't actually require peer review dummy, you need to come up with something first. I don't need peer review to dispute a claim that you saw a unicorn. You need to show us your unicorn first. Then we can examine it and show if it's really a horse with a horn glued to its head. If you are saying 'I saw one prove I didn't', well, I can't. But ask yourself, do you on that basis, believe in unicorns?![]()
Are you denying all animal human viral crossovers or just this specific one? Do you think it does commonly happen just like this, but just in this case didn't? Do you know anything at all about the topic?

There is historical evidence of it naturally occurring and there is historical evidence of human manipulation.spudoc wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 10:33 pmThere is no evidence that this virus came about naturally other than viruses occurring naturally since the beginning of time. The problem with you conspiracy nuts is that you have already concluded that not only was this created in a lab but that it was created for nefarious purposes. And you have no evidence. None.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 10:02 pmSo you have no specific evidence then. You have a maybe. Your straw man is bull shit. No one is arguing it hasn't or can't happen.

So no chance it came from the lab? Yes or no.

Re: So, was it a lab leak or nah?
Here is the difference in a nut shell:
One side believes it simply MUST be natural and a lab leak is nonsense.
One side thinks all possibilities have to be considered (or most likely a Lab Leak).
Lets break down the "evidence" on each side.
Natural side "Evidence":
*Precedent exists for naturally occurring
*China says it came from the market
*No specific smoking gun indicating a lab leak
*Many scientists still prefer this origin
Lab leak "Evidence":
*Lab studying Corona Viruses located a mile away from where leak is said to have originated
*China has not been forthcoming with new information to the point of aggression
*China will not release lab logs or internal lab communication during that time
*Scientists who work(ed) at the lab were hospitalized with a sickness very similar to Covid 19
*No "spillover" virus has been found
*Precedent exists for humans manipulating viruses
*Many scientists are now more accepting of the possibility and want more info
*There are literally still labs throughout the world manipulating viruses right now.
You can call me a conspiracy theorists if you want, I really dont care. From my perspective, the rational person has to accept the "Lab Leak" theory as a possibility. To simply write off the possibility, in my mind, is irrational.
Where does Occam's Razor fall? I see it falling either way which is why I believe the Lab Leak theory cant be completely dismissed.

Re: So, was it a lab leak or nah?
If its not possible, or plausible, or even a consideration for a virus to escape a lab, then why do people that work in labs like the one in Wuhan even bother to wear PPE equipment?

Re: So, was it a lab leak or nah?
It is possible, plausible and to be considered. The difference is some here are pushing an agenda of a definitive lab origin with existing evidence when that is the furthest thing from the truth. There is already a precedent for animal to human origin........... at this point a lab leak is just conjecture.
I blame Biker.

Re: So, was it a lab leak or nah?
i really don't think anyone is promoting the lab leak as an iron clad, only, definitive "origin". What I have seen people doing is wondering why its not getting more attention in terms of investigation.Stapes wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 2:55 am It is possible, plausible and to be considered.

and the point is that there is such a fundamental difference in the two possibilities. If it was, in fact, from an animal to human transfer, then we have some historical knowledge of that and understanding and know how to do things to prevent it happening again.
However, if it came from a lab, then that opens up an entirely different can of worms. should the lab have been doing it, should the lab have been more secure, are safety protocols a problem, etc. Its completely apples and oranges in terms of the next steps.
i obviously have no fucking idea how it happened. but i can't help but think that the coincidence of that lab sitting right there at ground zero raises suspicions. Injesting radiation is most common from soil and rock. however, if a bunch of people were suddenly sick from radiation poisoning across from a nuclear power plant, even if there was a rock quarry nearby, which do you think people would focus on first?

Re: So, was it a lab leak or nah?
If it came from nature, so what?
If however, it came from a lab, then you are literally defending China by not demanding that they prove it. If there is nothing to worry about then they shouldn't be trying to protect something that never occurred. However, what does it matter if we put communist pieces of shits feet to the flame and actually hold them accountable for something they have done? Why are the ones here saying its almost for sure natural, so willing to stick their neck out FOR the Chinese. Because that's what you're doing.

Well, the Chinese government has always been pretty honest and open about things so if theyre saying it came from a wet market their word is as good as gold.necronomous wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 3:34 am If it came from nature, so what?
