I don't see the FBI director mention that Sars-Cov2 was engineered anywhere. He said "probably the result of a laboratory leak".

If someone runs a lab, and they have Ebola or other virus in their fridges, and it leaks due to poor handling practice, that doesn't mean Ebola was engineered...

So it's possible to agree with both the opinions of the virologists-podcasters AND of the director of the FBI, isn't it?

Other experts in the field have mentioned that, with existing containment protocols, its extremely difficult for a pathogen to accidentally leak out.

That doesnt meant it was necessarily deliberately released. But maybe there was some extrordinary negligence involved that could make the Chinese government look bad.

There’s a video where a Wuhan Institute of Virology staff member shows off bat bite(s). I’m inclined to believe my eyes over the experts on that one. Doesn’t look like containment was always taken seriously.

The story of the bsl4 lab in Wuhan is of delays and compliance problems. It was so broken that the French were kicked out...
