Covid-19 likely to be man made

This is an article from the Atlantic which sums up the knowns and the unknowns with regard to the current state of play, and how much is being read into a 'smattering of facts':

The central ambiguity, such as it is, of COVID’s origin remains intact and perched atop a pair of improbable-seeming coincidences: One concerns the Huanan market, and the other has to do with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where Chinese researchers have specialized in the study of bat coronaviruses. If COVID really started in the lab, one position holds, then it would have to be a pretty amazing coincidence that so many of the earliest infections happened to emerge in and around a venue for the sale of live, wild animals … which happens to be the exact sort of place where the first SARS-coronavirus pandemic may have started 20 years ago. But also: If COVID really started in a live-animal market, then it would have to be a similarly amazing coincidence that the market in question happened to be across the river from the laboratory of the world’s leading bat-coronavirus researcher … which happened to be running experiments that could, in theory, make coronaviruses more dangerous.

I can't speak for all of them, but it seems like a relevant consideration to me in the circumstances of China 1956 and the nature of the work.

Finally, getting somewhere (given you have rejected multiple studies and hundreds of new virus strain being found as evidence of new virus originating near the lab, there is no convincing someone who is irrational), so you believe it was man-made and have elected Dr. Fauci as the expert in the area which means we can concentrate on that one person.

What has Dr. Anthony Fauci said in relation to the virus being man-made?

OK, so Fauci said no such thing about the virus being man-made.

And you're still deathly frightened of sharing your beliefs.

Your irrationality in the face of mountains of evidence is your own prerogative and not on others to continually question.

Not a great find at all - just look at this bit:

which happens to be the exact sort of place where the first SARS-coronavirus pandemic may have started 20 years ago.

In fairness, that quote says the absolute total of Sweetfeckall. While trying to look like it is saying something important.

Now, on the question of whether or not the virus is manmade or not - Luc Montaignier was of the opinion that the virus was manipulated, and had a piece added in, according to an article that was published very early on. And he was as much of an expert on virology as anyone in the world, and significantly more so than Fauci.

And that is my view also.

Ah so all of those conspiracy theorists who were claiming that it was man made were actually right all along.

Little by little things get rewritten so conspiracy theorists can never be wrong.

You admit that you developed an opinion on this in 2020 that it was a lab leak, ergo any evidence of that is "compelling" to you. That's fine. However it's very obvious all the info is going through that personal filter.

I'm simply reflecting the science. You can open pretty much any article and it will reference what the majority of scientists and experts believe in this case. I also put stock in the FBI, I've never ruled lab leak out. The majority of scientists with a view on this and the FBI can also be correct, it can be zoonotic in origin and was accidentally leaked from a lab.
