Such utter shite. I didn't realise until the other day that the 1977 H1N1 outbreak was *not* a lab escape but a shonkyvaccine trial. Very interesting.

Another possibility is that a lot of the people push lab escape know shit about virus evolution and emergence.

I thought their first one was pretty good - but this one is wacky so far. And yeah - looks like 1977 was a vaccine trial, which is pretty crazy.
