All good points. I'm surprised at all the love and comfort given to the conspiracy theorists. Jesse, Relman obviously, now ME. [shared file(s): image.png]

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

I explained this to Jesse previously.... I do not believe there's a single documented emergence event of a novel virus to a human from the lab, let alone one starting an outbreak/epidemic/pandemic. Yes, plenty of lab leaks, but all of the known kind and all easilyidentifiable.

Yes, all correct.

Of course not, but it's not about convincing them - it's about producing the most complete scientific picture possible.

He forgot 'scientific reasons'.

Not surprising ME a wannabe politician [briefly ran for Senate] and likely pissed of that Biden picked EL for the WHpost.
