Wuhan has a biolab.

That biolab specializes in coronaviruses.

That biolab was funded, in part, by the US NIH to conduct gain of function (a rose by any other name...) on coronaviruses.

SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus outbreak was first observed in Wuhan.

It's such a logical chain of circumstantial evidence, and They expected everyone to believe that it came from a fucking pangolin?



Who is the "They" that you all keep mentioning? I haven't heard anyone push the pangolin theory since, like, March 2020. I listen to the podcast "This Week in Virology" a lot and can only remember them occasionally addressing it as a discarded theory.

It seems to me like people are talking about some Boogeyman here. I need specifics on this "they" because otherwise it just comes across as rhetoric


Who will discover a new virus faster? A researcher from a specialized lab or a random guy?
