| Are we really at the point where we know for certain how this pandemic came about? Is there really only one true view? There's basically 3 theories that have been put out: 1: The US military developed it. This theory from some CCP higher ups was quickly discredited. 2: It originated in a wet market in Wuhan This theory does not account for a few things, such as (a) how did the bats end up there? (b) Is there any proof that there were every any bats there? (c) What about the early patients who had no connection to the market? 3: It originated from a lab in Wuhan The report shows that there are 2 labs in Wuhan, and both of these labs dealt with bats that have a high probability of having this virus. They show this through the published research from the labs as well as other items such as job announcements, etc. This at least puts the bats (and virus) in Wuhan, explaining how they ended up being there from so far away. The report goes to great pains to state that no conspiracy is needed, or tie in to bio weapons, or whatever. We simply have some labs dealing with these bats and viruses, in the location where the pandemic started, and there are many possible avenues as to how the virus could have got out. I don't see how the report delves into conspiracy theories. |
4. The virus transferred from an infected animal (not necessarily a bat) to a human, either at the Wuhan South China Seafood market or somewhere else, possibly in the countryside. The market might have just been the site of the first superspreading event. In a big country like China, millions of people come into contact with infected animals all the time. There's no need to invent a Hollywood-style theory about the virus escaping from a lab to explain how it got into humans.
