That takes care of 1 and 2 on the list. Shall we move to number 3?

You agreed with me on 1. It in no way takes care of 2. Iinm, @S209 would agree mask mandates are likely worthless

That is your take on our discussion?  :)
What was the source, an animal?

If what you are claiming is true then yes.


I agree it is a possibility that it was a lab leak.

...

Laymen's terms that means 50/50.

Take any quotes any way you want to, so it fits your narrative.  ::)
At this point they have no idea where it came from with coming from an animal as the highest probability.
If we agree, then you must have changed your position from lab to animal without me seeing it.  :)

Need to make a correction. It would be 1 and 2A.  :)

My point has been, despite being hyperbolic at the outset, that much of what was regarded as conspiracy theories, dangerous, disinformation, has more been deemed plausible, correct, or at least likely.

I've never been into conspiracy theories, so it was funny seeing myself labeled one in several places due to writing about the lab leak theory.




Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

The point I was making.

Wray’s comments come just days after news of the Department of Energy’s “low-confidence” assessment that Covid-19 most likely originated from a laboratory leak in China, underscoring a divide in the US government as the majority of the intelligence community still believes that Covid either emerged naturally in the wild, or that there is still too little evidence to make a judgment one way or another.

They have a lot further to go. When someone (either side) comes out with a high confidence rating wake me up.  :)

You mean like the FBI?

Also, low confidence rating doesn't mean what low confidence would mean in regular speech.

In soccer when the record is 2-5-2 I don't try and spin it as a winning record.  ;)

Correct, it is worse.  :)
By the department's definition, a low confidence assessment "means the information is scant, questionable, or very fragmented, so it is difficult to make solid analytic inferences; it could also mean that the (intelligence community) has significant concerns about or problems with the sources."

You are missing the boat. The big issue here is not whether it actually was a lab leak or not. The issue is how the possibility of it being true was discounted without regard for truth since it was not a politically expedient opinion or because there were some quacks who were using it to advance their own agenda. Meanwhile, one by one government agencies are reaching conclusions that it is a likely possibility that it is the truth. Yet you are continuing that practice right here and now.

Nate Silver summed it up very well.
