Conspiracy theories claiming COVID-19 was engineered in a lab as part of a biological attack on the United States have been gaining traction online in recent weeks, but a new study on the origins of the virus has concluded that the pandemic-causing strain developed naturally.
An analysis of the evidence, according to the findings first published in the scientific journal Nature Medicine, shows that the novel coronavirus "is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus," with the researchers concluding "we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible."
"There’s a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories that went to a pretty high level," Dr. Robert Garry, a professor at the Tulane University School of Medicine and one of the authors of the study, told ABC News, "so we felt it was important to get a team together to examine evidence of this new coronavirus to determine what we could about the origin."
Thats what "THEY" want you to think....i.e. you cannot argue with conspiracy theorists. You are after all part of the coverup.
LMAO. The great thing about a good conspiracy theory is that you can just broaden the conspiracy by claiming the fact-checkers are "in on it". Take to its logical conclusion, everyone in the world ends up "in on it" except you. People are incapable of using their brains.
Conspiracy theories operate on the basis of a fallacy, as in it is up to other people to disprove it, not for them to prove it. Any evidence disproving it automatically is either false, or part of the cover up. There is never any winning about it, it is what they want to believe.
