Either way, those social media companies like Facebook who were doing what, scrubbing and censoring all these things saying this? Under the guise of "stopping misinformation"?

So many great deadly viruses in the world and they needed to create a similar one in the lab. Most scientists agree that the odds of this virus being created in a lab are a very long shot.
No most scientist don’t agree. How is anyone going to agree when no one knows exactly. People are proposing ways in which the virus might have spread based on information we currently have. With that information the Lab Leak hypothesis is clearly the one that is the easiest to explain with the information we currently have.

If you ever get a consensus in science you should be careful. The entire purpose of science is to question everything in an attempt to understand as much of it as possible through a methodical lens. There was a consensus that Newtonian physics was the answer to the universe, until it wasn’t and we found out that there is so much more. So much.

Heh, the Daily Mail. Right. Now there's a credible science news source...

It's only fake news when the far right doesn't like it.

Questionable source, perhaps. But it's not like it's CNN.

Pretty much my conclusion too

Sorry...the guys over at ATS were spot on with this one ...spot on.
ATS is the tin foil hat community.

A few interesting questions I have though is...why the about face ? Why now ? And how did so many get on board so quickly ?
Those are the questions I have.
Why now? Because it will be absolutely undeniable and least damage politically. Why not then? Because it may have helped trump. Also trump and co said it was lab made., of course they'd oppose anything he says.

Cause chaos and economic devastation of the West.
Communists don’t care if their people are affected if it’s for the greater power of the party globally.
Created in a lab? Yep.
Released accidentally? Maybe; maybe not.
China prohibited their people from travel in and out of Wuhan, but allowed travel to the rest of the world.
Not much would surprise me at this point.

But if the aim was to attack non-Asians then why release it in one of the largest Chinese cities? They could have simply brought it over to the US in a ziplock bag and released in here.

We don't know that for sure either. We know that the first big outbreak of covid occurred in Wuhan in China, but we don't know if it did or didn't originate somewhere else in the world first. In retrospective investigations it's been determined there were isolated cases of people getting sick with it in other places in the world during the summer months of 2019 before the Wuhan outbreak occurred in early December 2019.

There is no doubt in my mind that it was not lab created and that it occurred naturally just as the other known human corona viruses have occurred naturally.
