Lab Leak: The conspiracy theory is shaping up to look like real possibility

[demi-conservative]

It has also been good in many ways, but the main problem is that nobody could have predicted something exactly like what happened

It could have been expected, something more virulent than swine flu and more deadly.

, and China lied about it for weeks and didn't come clean until after the virus had already taken root in multiple countries

When I dig deeper into what China is supposed to have lied about that was so consequential, I find nothingburgers.

It is truly amazing isn't it. That the most honest players here when it comes to discussion, admission of fault, admission of logical consistency in an argument, are not the Christians but the non-Christians. It literally blows my mind each and every day I come on this board to discuss these topics. Not only that, the rudest, meanest, most willing to put down others personally are the Christians too. As I said, it's hard believe, but it is what it is.

“Why don’t my opponents stop their wrong think and agree with me!”

Keep it classy.

They kept the rest of the world in the dark, lied about human-to-human transmission, claimed they had it under control, all the while they knew that it was being spread around the world. I'm not sure how that's a nothing-burger.

Yes, I've heard all that. This is where you need to present evidence.

You forgot the most important bit, which is that they allowed people in Wuhan to leave and spread it internationally.

“Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China,” the organization had said.

How is that a lie?

Reuters, on the same day:

“From the information that we have it is possible that there is limited human-to-human transmission, potentially among families, but it is very clear right now that we have no sustained human-to-human transmission,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, acting head of WHO’s emerging diseases unit.

The WHO is however preparing for the possibility that there could be a wider outbreak, she told a Geneva news briefing. “It is still early days, we don’t have a clear clinical picture.”

How is that a lie?

Reuters, on the same day:

Because by that time China already knew it was spreading human to human and they had already disappeared anyone who said otherwise. They lied to the WHO and the WHO parroted their lies.

from what we saw here, it would be very obvious how contagious this virus is. "no clear evidence" is a lie. It spreads like wildfire.

Even conservative estimates show that the virus was spreading in December, and there is evidence it was spreading in November and covered up by the Chinese.

Is anyone else weirded out by Demi defending China?

Seer, the report is about them going back in hindsight to relook at unusual cases in November. It doesn't mean that in November they knew "how infectious this was". You're falling for the spin.

Already refuted, but I need to fix "spin" as "lies".

Like I said,

This blaming of China for the virus woes is getting pathological, close to 'Russia russia russia!!!' levels..

Last time I was accused of being a Russian agent, now a Chinese agent.

What happened to you, Darth? Too much time in a poz capital has weakened you.

The situation is similar to a conservative on Tweb who doesn't like Trump, but has had enough of the lies about Trump and decides to refute them. Many such cases!

[firstfloor]

And Trump gives the WHO a kicking. Wrong target?
