Wuhan lab leak 'now the most likely origin of Covid'

It was an amusing period when all the mainstream media outlets attacked such discussions as racist and xenophobic and censorship platforms like YouTube banned it.<p>And then somehow noted scientists like Jon Stewart allowed for the discussion to be allowed.<p>This dilly dallying on the origins of Covid only shows the importance of free speech and the dangers of the mainstream media, Big Tech and their lies. Whether the real source is the Wuhan Lab is no longer relevant. Trying to force the discussion genie into the censorship bottle is the real story.<p>Unfortunately now they are pushing the Wuhan lab leak theory for different and nefarious purposes instead of the furtherment of medical research.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nypost.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;09&#x2F;16&#x2F;jon-stewart-surprised-at-covid-lab-leak-theory-backlash&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nypost.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;09&#x2F;16&#x2F;jon-stewart-surprised-at-covid...</a>

Thought this was an interesting comment:<p>&gt; <i>Lord Ridley told MPs: “I also think it’s more likely than not because we have to face the fact after two months we knew the origins of Sars, and after a couple of months we knew Mers was though through camels, but after two years we still haven&#x27;t found a single infected animal that could be the progenitor, and that’s incredibly surprising.</i><p>There have been tons of threads about this so we are just rehashing the same info mostly but this was an interesting point I hadn’t heard of on previously considered.

Note that this only the opinion of one doctor (or two), not some official conclusion by the WHO or other big organization.

&quot;We know this virus has a unique feature, called the furin cleavage site, and without this feature there is no way this would be causing this pandemic.&quot;<p>&quot;A proposal was leaked showing that EcoHealth and the Wuhan Institute of Virology were developing a pipeline for inserting novel furin cleavage sites. So, you find these scientists who said in early 2018 ‘I’m going to put horns on horses’ and at the end of 2019 a unicorn turns up in Wuhan city.&quot;

Early on it was debunked, but now maybe not so much...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;paulg&#x2F;status&#x2F;1396769717805780994" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;paulg&#x2F;status&#x2F;1396769717805780994</a>
