Unsurprisingly, virologists want the public to believe up is down, wet is dry, day is night, and that they care about lab safety. That journalists keep pretending AR and cohorts are experts in anything other than misinformation peddling is a joke.

@Bryce_Nickels Hey - and how did all those Ebola researchers from the same lab die again?
@Bryce_Nickels They have no shame, and they have no decency. ("They" above refers to claiming, preposterously, that a laboratory-acquired infection is not a laboratory accident, including Fauci, Kuppalli, Eckerle, Gronvall, Rasmussen, and Pease.)
Yeah, sounds like a lab leak to me. The fact that a natural unknown virus can leak from a lab is concerning. The fact that engineered viruses can leak from a lab is equally concerning. I don’t know why this is up for debate and is why GOF research so risky. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
@Bryce_Nickels It annoys me so much I can't reply to her! 😂
@Bryce_Nickels If not a “conspiracy,” this disinformation campaign involves Anthony Fauci, Krutika Kruppali and Angela Rasmussen all trying to redefine lab leak to exclude cases where an animal in a lab was involved. Those, they disingenuously claim aren’t lab leaks but natural origin.
There is a specific term which I'm not recalling (it's not Motte & Bailey, but the concept is similar) for when a defendant opens up the range of possibility ever so slightly... it's a concession to something overlapping the accuser's claim. Wish I could recall that term. But that's what's going on now. Gathering samples and bringing them to a lab for research and then accidentally leaking IS A LEAK FROM A LAB, and has always been considered a research-related accident, not "natural spillover."
@Bryce_Nickels If a Ugandan monkey living in its natural habitat infected a local individual, then zoonosis would be applicable. But the first case reported in Africa (1980) was 13 years after the outbreak in Germany. So the lab “event”in 1967 was the critical link for transmission
@Bryce_Nickels A week ago the narrative was raccoon dogs, now it is that even when it comes out of a lab it’s not a “lab leak”…it’s still “natural” same as if it happens in some mountain village or a “market”…
@Bryce_Nickels @NameIsSpartacus Yep. The infection occurred in the same time in 3 cities.
