@Eddie Holmes Yuri, Alina and the other Drastic :clown_face:s licking their wounds. Problem with the WHO presseris not much science - the Cambo, Thai and Japan bat virus are a opportunity to counter some of the conspiracy theories with science.

In context

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

To Jesse's point - it's worth pointing out that "remaining agnostic" doesn't actually entail a 50/50 split of lab vsnature, but rather involves looking at data. He has not.

Important point - the lab link proponents or "agnostics" have either not looked closely at the data or looked and did not have the background to comprehend.

Or they were weighed down some heavily by their prior assumptions that no amt of info would change their view.

@Eddie Holmes Totally agree. Stick to the science.
