Yeah dude that could never happen. Except it already did:

I don't know what your purpose is in regurgitating verifiable but admittedly realistic-sounding bullshit on hacker news, but virtually every statement you have made here is obvious bullshit.

I don't even particularly believe the "possibly released from a lab" meme, and am generally against the shadowy dipshits that push it. But you're not helping here.

What happened?

Are you saying that a chimeric virus created in a lab was found to have thousands of seemingly random mutations throughout its genome?

Or are you claiming that a chimeric virus was created using a backbone that nobody had ever heard of?

Be specific, because it's impossible to respond if you vaguely call what I'm saying BS.
