Yet more evidence that the so-called 'lab leak theory' is utterly absurd, an entirely confected piece of nonsense born of the same anti-intellectual regressive populism that's poisoned every part of every political discourse over the last decade.

There is no evolutionary signal suggesting that these viruses were being “pre-adapted” for humans prior to their outbreaks. Instead, measurable changes in selection typically appeared only after sustained transmission began in people.

apparently more than a third of #republican voters in the US are now holocaust deniers¹? and 41% think 9/11 was an inside job.
these numbers came from the trump loving, christopher rufo paying, super right wing Manhattan Institute. this is not a liberal pollster.
¹ maybe "holocaust truthers" is a more apt description but... whatever

Al final les evidències, o la seva manca, cauen pel seu propi pes... després d'anys d'insitir per aire, mar i terra que l'origen zoonotic estava demostrat (mai ho va estar) @WHO indica que totes les opcions, #lableak o #labaccident incloses, estan vigents.
Ja ho vaig apuntar en la meva lectura crítica del primer informe de SAGO, Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens, per la primavera del 2021. L'origen zoonotic de la #CoVID19 era probable, ...
The WHO Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens (SAGO), a panel of 27 independent, international, multidisciplinary experts, today published its report on the origins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Comencen a sovintejar articles d'aquesta mena...q ens donen certa raó als sempre escéptics. Això sí, #lableak no és cap teoria, és una hipotesi amb indicis circumstancials, però la seva negació en certs cercles no ha fet més q d'enfortir-la.

És la típica causa amb molts mals advocats defensors, q la fan "dolenta". Però si analitzes la informació disponible, no és forasenyada, simplement no és demostrable... encara. Com tampoc l'origen zoonotic. #OneHealth #bioseguretat
While figures like Steve Bannon have exploited the issue, scientists have done themselves no favours by shutting down legitimate inquiry, says award-winning science writer Jane Qiu
