This extensive reddit post [0] was interesting, by a high risk biocontainment virus Phd person, documenting the reasons he was sure covid-19 was not created by, or accidentally released from, the Wuhan lab [0].<p>Question #4 in the table of contents for this reddit post directly addresses the accidental release scenario talked about in the article. He summarized his answer as follows:<p>- The WIV, and Dr. Zhengli-Li Shi’s lab group, are extremely well-respected in the virology community. As well respected as many US scientists.<p>- All the WIV’s sampling of bats and the genomes that they find in bats are publicly available information. Why isn’t SARS-CoV-2 on any of those lists? We would know.<p>- Dr. Shi's group also sends parallel samples to other labs. Why wouldn't those labs have had SARS-CoV-2 if Shi's lab had it? Because they didn't<p>- This doesn’t look anything like any laboratory accident that we’ve seen before.<p>- The evidence we have points to Patient Zero being nowhere near the City of Wuhan.<p>There's a lot of detail and follow-up conversation. It's the best source of info I've seen so far on questions around the Wuhan lab.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/gk6y95/covid19_did_not_come_from_the_wuhan_institute_of/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/gk6y95/covid19_did...</a>
