    Ok -I'm game to answer this question. "Why is it ok to share videos of horrific animal trade in China - like @Kristian Andersen did with the CNN video-, but "fueling racist rhetoric" to discuss the facts that China has been engaging inso much cutting-edge research that lab leaks are a real possibility? Big difference - instances of lab leaks in the past have been known pathogens. What Alina, Metzl and the DRASTICs and Parisites are alleging has a major difference. The are alleging a conspiracy - perhaps with the Chinese military - that SC2 was being secretely workedon in the lab. This directly feeds into the overtly racist memes of the "China virus" etc. [shared file(s): image.png]

    It might be worth pointing out that the video was from inside the Huanan market and shows several potential reservoir hosts... It's an actual data point - not unsubstantiated speculation that lends fuel to a racist agenda.
