As I’ve consistently said, there is no irrefutable evidence either way. Maybe one day there will be, maybe there won’t be - but the conspirators who sprout that there’s undeniable proof it was deliberately engineered and leaked are just filling their cesspools.
True, but there is a reason why there is no irrefutable evidence - China deleted their database and refused to cooperate with investigations. The WHO backed the Chinese up when they did this and so did certain people in the American government who were very likely scared shitless that they were going to be linked to what looked very likely to be a virus escaping from a lab they had been funding.
I think it's highly likely it came from that lab on the basis that:
- On September 12th in 2019 the Wuhan lab took their virus database offline (which included 220,000 coronavirus samples).
- On the same day, the lab suddenly increased security and started running a tender to replace the air conditioning system.
- Around the same time the lab started purchasing PCR test equipment and medical waste incinerators.
- Scientists in the lab experienced covid like symptoms in October 2019.
- All the key players involved in the Wuhan lab (Chinese, WHO, American) all rushed to cover it up and attempted to destroy anyone who suggested the virus may have come from there
- Of all the places for a new coronavirus could originate, I think it's beyond coincidence that it originated within very close proximity to a virology lab.
Doesn't mean they intentionally released it (although it does raise questions whether the Chinese were developing a virus for military purposes, and it accidentally leaked in the process).
