Follow the Science: Lab Leak Is Most Likely

28. Way too many coincidences. All paths lead back to the Wuhan Lab.

And yes, the Gain of Function research is dangerous and outrageous.

I was trained as a PhD researcher. Research is like detective work; we follow the data. Data tells you the truth, data tells you the story.

Wuhan Lab had the Covid virus and was doing gain of function research, which is engineering the virus to make it more transmissible to humans. This research was in part funded by the US. This research is very high risk, but ostensibly conducted with a goal towards developing effective treatments for virus infection.

Wuhan Lab was known to use sloppy lab practices.

And after the outbreak all evidence was scrubbed and hidden by the Chinese government. A cover up suggests culpability.

No data to support the natural origin theory, that the virus jumped from bats to humans.

So far the data points to the Wuhan Lab. Either the engineered virus infected an employee of the lab, or the lab techs were secretly selling infected animals to the Wuhan live animal market.

The Wuhan Lab and Wet market were essentially crimes scenes, and the Chinese government carefully eradicated all evidence and silenced witnesses. So we may never be able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt exactly what happened.

But based upon the facts we do have, the data is pointing to the Wuhan Lab. I don't believe it was deliberate, data pointing to an accident.
