So...

Fauci 'not convinced' COVID-19 developed naturally | Fox News
Fauci 'not convinced' COVID-19 developed naturally | Fox News


I'm not convinced either.

Not even from the very beginning.
Which way is the wind blowing?

Just listen to Dr Fauci to find out

Might change tomorrow

I'm certainly not "convinced" of anything regarding it's origins.  I doubt we ever will be.

Read more on it. It almost certainly came from a lab.

From what I've read there is absolutely nothing about it that is particularly suspicious or any sign of something created or weaponized. It is a pretty run of the mill virus. But it certainly could have been accidentally released from a lab - I didn't realize how common that actually was until this pandemic.

Things would be a lot different in the world today had it not been for the Covid.

No one said created. You and others who think like this need to get that word "created" out of your heads. They don't "create" viruses in these labs while doing this gain of function research. They take naturally occurring viruses- that DO NOT and CANNOT infect human beings- and they play evolutionary tricks with said virus- and turbocharge their evolution and play god in a lab setting and push and pull these viruses, manipulate them & expose them to human cells & human tissues- and these viruses mutate rapidly and evolve to infect human cells.

Watch those videos I linked on the previous page. And also- the former head of the CDC- who is a trained virologist and has access to every shred of classified top secret intelligence there is on this topic- says this thing came from a lab leak. He's not speaking out of his ass. He's seen intelligence that the rest of us haven't.

Faucci is lying out of his ass- and has been all over the map since day one- all in order to cover his own ass. Faucci IS gain of function research. He's the single most senior/important figure in that entire field in the entire world. And he's likely been trying to keep the lid on this to save his own skin.

As far as weaponizing the virus goes- the Chinese gov't sure did A HELL of a lot to make this thing far worse than it ever should've been.

So, they play tricks and push and pull and manipulate, to change something that occurs in nature, to something that doesn't occur in nature?

Sounds like a lab creation to me.

create implies they make these things from scratch or engineer them ground up to do things they want them to do. they don’t. They play with evolution in a lab setting and these viruses evolve in ways they can’t predict. They learn new tricks. Hence the term - gain of function.

But can't someone say that an omelet or a cake is "created" by playing god with the ingredients and playing tricks with stove/oven heat?

With modern messaging tied to character limits on social media, to bite size talking points, and to headlines, what you just described above can be summarized within headlines as "creating" in the sense of manipulating something into existence, as the Covid virus is discussed.

Does anybody else believe how fortunate we as the general public are to indisputably know where Covid came from (Wuhan, China)? Once Covid began making news in early 2020, China was already organizing the message that other nations and pharmaceuticals were to blame. Had it not been so obvious or the facts were fuzzier from the start, many have wondered whether rather than arguing whether Covid came from a lab, our medias might be tied to debating whether Covid even emerged from China at all, if their state medias had their way.

What I mean is - many viruses in circulation today started out causing a pandemic. They now cause mild flus or colds, due the wonders of evolution and our immune system. So by "run of the mill" I mean there isn't anything particularly novel about this virus compared to other pandemics.

I think this is anything BUT "run of the mill".

Nothing else in MY life had such a broad impact on behaviors and actions for nearly a year, and still is having impact.  That isn't "run of the mill", it's singular.  

And the virus itself appears to be far more contagious than is "typical".
