BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s foreign ministry said on Thursday the World Health Organization has said there is no evidence that the coronavirus that has infected more than 2 million people globally was made in a lab.

Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian made the remark in response to a question about accusations the coronavirus originated in a lab in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the epidemic first emerged in late 2019.

Zhao told reporters during a daily briefing in Beijing that the World Health Organization’s officials “have said multiple times there is no evidence the new coronavirus was created in a laboratory.”




Yeah, take it from this guy. Look at his face. Would his face lie to you?

WHO has shown itself to be completely trustworthy.

If you were going to make a virus in a lab wouldn’t you make it deadlier than this?

I doubt it was "made" in a lab.
Did it escape from a lab due to poor operation and/or incompetence? Probably.

actually, no

the reason why Ebola and Nippah (and similar viruses) aren't a real pandemic threat is that they can't spread as easily b/c they're so deadly (and work so fast)

but it's likely if this was lab-made, China didn't let it out on purpose and it was just another CCP frickup

The scientific consensus is that it's a naturally occurring virus. That doesn't preclude the possibility of it being a naturally occurring virus that escaped from a lab while they were researching it. I notice China doesn't say anything about that, while knocking down a strawman that nobody believes except hard core tinfoil hatters.

Doesn’t have to be the only virus they were making. If this is from a lab, I don’t think they deliberately set it free, it’s just someone really fricked up and is likely no longer with us, whether that be from the virus or the CCP killing him as a punishment.

I don’t even bat soup actually

People wanting this to be like the plot of a movie is understandable but just doesn’t seem likely

Wrong. That takes too many assumptions to have Occam's Razor applied to the situation.

Well, both Beijing and WHO also said there was no human to human transmission either.

So, neither have an ounce of credibility.

Occam's razor allows that they were possibly doing research on Coronavirus and sloppy safety procedures accidental release. Embarassed Communist Govmt tried to cover it up leading to worldwide disaster.

Personally, I am starting to believe Weekly World News may have been ahead of the curve.

This is all Bat Boys doings.
