And supporting the out-of-the-lab thesis on the origin of Covid19, if only unintentionally, this absurdly bad article and mostly fatuous comments from the Unz Review, which claims that the virus was created and released by a bunch of dirty NeoCon Jews plus the horrible Steve Bannon intent on war with China.
Yes, there may be dirty NeoCon Jews intent on war with China, but that is not the relevant question. What's relevant is:
(1) Are there people creating dangerous pathogenic viruses in the lab?
And if so,
(2) Are they creating dangerous pathogenic corona viruses with spike protein genetically engineered to increase infectivity and virulence, i.e., viruses that would look just like Covid19.
To which the answer, in both cases, is yes.
Related questions of interests include:
(3) Was such gain-of-function research on pathogenic viruses being conducted in China?
And if so,
(4) Was such work conducted in collaboration with scientists from the US, the UK and other Western countries with US Funding provided, directly or indirectly, by Fauci's National Institute of Allergic and Infectious Diseases?
To which the answer in both cases is yes.
None of this means that Covid19 came from the lab, but it establishes:
First, that Covid19 could be, and in light of other evidence, almost certain is, a lab construct;
Second, that Covid19 could have been released from the lab into the human population in many possible accidental or deliberate ways, including collusion between US and Chinese agents intent on promoting the New World Ordure.
