That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.

      A YouTube video and an opinion piece lol.

      News investigation & report quoting correspondence between biosafety experts/researchers & their letters to journals?

      a Nature article

      Paywalled & also in the news section?

      It’s possible despite lax biosafety, they didn’t leak the virus & didn’t have it. Based on what little I can read of the article: the word of a person at the center of the matter may be true; however, that’s considerable weight for their word to carry that leaves doubt over impartiality & independence. Findings of an independent monitor/investigation would be more convincing.

        Nature is the most highly regarded scientific publication in the world. I can’t help you with your paywall issues.

          It’s a news article in their news section, not a scientific study, Nature’s domain of prestige/authority. In the hierarchy of evidence, this ranks at the bottom as background information.

          The previous comment stands: it’s an isolated claim lacking independent, impartial corroboration.

              Well done: that’s the way you defend a thesis. Sources & supported reason. Not whatever nonsense you were doing.

              I upvoted your comment, too.
