Someone posted earlier they they thought it came from a lab and he/she was attacked as a quack.
Hmm. Looks like there may be some who think research escaped a lab.

1. The article does not say anyone thinks it

escaped from a lab.

2. The title alone says they are weighing possibility virus escaped from lab???

9. I'm as liberal as they come, and I don't doubt it originated in nature from bats, however,

2 labs studying virus from bats in Wuhan also sounds hinky. Call me anything you want. I thought this when I heard of all the crazy symptoms. The Chinese will never admit to it and we will never know, but something isn’t right.

11. Epidemiologists have known for years that coronaviruses are endemic in bats.

Of course there were labs in Wuhan studying the coronaviruses in bats. Epidemiologists know that bats in that region carry coronaviruses. This is not a surprise.

19. Yeah, I agree, something isn't right.

A few weeks ago, they were talking about the virus and it's relationship to HIV. What?? Now recently, they are talking about HIV treatment being somewhat effective. What?

You just can't blame people for being suspicious. These may be musings, but still it seems like something is wrong.

16. I've been seeing lots of articles lately suggesting it wasn't someone eating a bat.

It was someone studying bats and bat viruses, and gross incompetence caused the virus to escape from the lab.

3. That is t-rump's IC, which I do not trust . .

t-rump's campaign strategy is to further implicate China any means necessary.

[EndlessWire]

20. I dunno

who is questioning that it originated in China? Who cares? Trump is being criticized for a tardy reaction and his subsequent attempts to make money off it, and to increase his power. Also, he does not care if we live or die.

Honestly, he's spinning his wheels if he thinks it matters one bit that it came out of China. What matters is that his personality does not allow him to take anyone else's advice because he thinks he knows everything, and he failed to act in a timely manner. And, now he's just showing his ass.

4. When U.S. Intelligence Seems In Any Way To Support One Of The Cheap Thug's Hopes

It can be assumed the recently installed political leadership is distorting intelligence at best, but most likely is simply telling the lie they know the boss wants to hear.

[Voltaire2]

5. No they didn't.

[stillcool]

6. I read that...

reminded me of Saddam gassing his own people...my god, how many times did I hear that? I came to the conclusion, that I'll never know...and that's fine by me. I can barely deal with what is.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

7. "I find it very funny that China very quickly blamed the market,"

said a retired intelligence official.

Obviously this jerk has NEVER SEEN a Chinese market place.

[milestogo]

8. Was it Obama's lab in Kenya? The one funded by George Soros?

Yeah, that must be it.

[Flaleftist]

10. With Trump making appiontments to US intelligence agencies, how can they be trusted?

Like Trump replacing Maguire with Grenell? Am I really supposed to trust anything they say?

12. I heard a story out of Australia claiming that a couple of weeks ago, it could have accidentally ..

been transmitted from a university lab in the city that was using it to develop a vaccine.

And since it takes up to two weeks to show symptoms the person who accidental came in contact with didn't know it until it was too late to contain.


It actually makes sense since they type of mammal required to transmit this virus is not sold at the live seafood market that is being blamed and they were very quick to clean it and destroy any evidence instead of sealing it off and bringing in scientists in protective gear to find out exactly which area of the market was infected and how it became infected.

14. This is the latest news

A Washington Post columnist wrote an interesting article but of course it's behind a paywall. Forbes and Business Insider did some side articles that are accessible.

https://www.businessinsider.com/us-officials-raised-alarms-about-safety-issues-in-wuhan-lab-report-2020-4

A couple of weeks ago British intelligence raised some eyebrows when they said they could not rule out the possibility of a lab accident.

Good luck finding anything more on the Internet, you'll soon get bogged down into wacky bioengineering conspiracies oozing from far right sites. Right now there's not really any evidence, just coincidences. The story plays well with the xenophobic right and most people covering it have an agenda so be wary.

[Snake Plissken]

17. I can't find the original clip I watched but this clip also covers it

It just doesn't have the interview with the Australian doctor who was in Wuhan and said it was highly unlikely it began in that market because nope of the possible host mammals are sold at that particular market.

13. Occam's Razor....

It's a fucking virus. They mutate all the time. They have their own rules...and they change the rules all the time.

[JCMach1]

15. Don't think lab incompetence could have caused this?

Review the history of Ebola Reston and ask yourself how well the USA's top lab did...

If it was a.human and not monkey Ebola we would have had a huge Ebola outbreak in DC in the 1980s...

[RussBLib]

18. If we later find that some had a vaccine

while others were left to fend for themselves, there will be hell to pay.
