Where is the credible evidence that it came from wildlife? Bats are not known to live around the city of Wuhan, and the closest wild relative to SARS-CoV-2 was found hundreds of kilometers away, near China's southern border. And also in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which performed gain-of-function research on coronaviruses.
The core argument in favor of crossover from wildlife is that scientists don't think many of the mutations in the virus's genome make sense as engineered changes. That is a straigh
That is a straight-up argument from ignorance, not to mention that it presumes that any man-made changes would be intentional, and should not get anywhere near the amount of credence that it has gotten.
What??? Here I’ve been relishing in the new vaccine technology, those chips they implant are out of this world - suck it AMD! Now you tell me that bioengineers can just craft flawless new zero day flaws into an operating system with millions of years of patches?!? When will modern wonders ever cease?
