Coronavirus

You guys remember the thread asking Jason to ban and silence posters for "misinformation" like the lab leak? I'd love to reread that thread but can't find it. Why did you try so hard to get us banned over a difference of opinion?
You're doing your usual whine about the actions of one poster, and pretending they are supported by some large group.

And I'm sorry, I explained for weeks how the lab leak theory was more than likely the case
There are five federal agencies that say it was a natural, with low confidence. There are two that say lab leak, with low confidence. That means everyone's guessing, but the numbers are against your position right now.

and just got bullied and hated on.
That's not why people dislike you.

But hell, I've asked here why you all treated people this bad and haven't gotten an actual answer.
Perhaps you should stop ignoring the people willing to converse with you. To be fair, that would give you one less excuse for whining.

I mean if we knew it came from a lab maybe we could've stopped it much sooner
How?

People will lie pathologically and say they didn't bully but it's well documented that Democrats did in fact bully and be hateful towards anyone who thought differently.
Every large group has bullies. Dishonest people pretend they are the only members of the group.

Hell even to their own in John Stewart and Bill Maher.
John Stewart is worth taking seriously. Bill Maher is not. In the clip you offer, Stewart condemns your own behavior. I sense no indication you are self-aware enough to realize that when he criticizes the extreme reactions, he's talking about you.

I think there were also 2 that investigated it and said, "We don't know" and 9 that haven't issued any reports.

Personally, I think investigating if it may have leaked from the lab is worth investigating, but it doesn't change much except maybe lab safety procedures. However, even if it is conclusively proven that it did leak from the lab, that is a long way from saying it was CREATED in the lab. There is, as far as I know, no suspicion among serious people that it may be man made.

It leaked from a lab but it wasn't manmade lol. They were literally CREATING SARS viruses to infect mice that they already engineered to have human lungs.

Wuhan CREATED more dangerous virus than Covid-19 one': Researcher Yuri Deigin​


A/ We know that WIV (Wuhan Institute of Virology), together with EcoHealth, has been working on gain-of-function into MERS and they were creating chimeras with funding from the NIH (National Institutes of Health, US). This is all documented. [Usually] they created chimeras by taking the MERS full virus and replacing its spikes with those from the HKU4 virus. But the HKU4 spike is not as good at binding with human receptors as the MERS virus is. What we found is the opposite―they took the backbone (main chain of a polymer) of the HKU4 and replaced the spike with the MERS spike, which is much better at binding with human receptors. So, it could be potentially dangerous if this virus escapes.

There was this argument that, if SARS-CoV-2 was to be engineered, they would have used one of the known reverse genetic systems (used to modify genes). Even at the time it was a weak argument, but now we know that there were unpublished coronavirus reverse genetic systems in use in Wuhan. So, it is completely within the realm of possibility that there was one built around the progenitor of SARS-CoV-2.

Our [recent] preprint conclusively shows that there were reverse genetic systems in use in Wuhan that have still not been published. So, who knows how many more unpublished backbones they had in use at the time. The WIV also boasted that they had thousands of viral samples in their private database, which means they could have had many different backbones on which they were working at a time.

I educated the Dunning Kruger effects on this board about this adnasueum. Yet I was just bullied and literally called a racist by the intelligent posters here that add nothing but lying. This was known years ago and the grown adults that add nothing but calling others trolls just bullied hated and pleaded with Jason to ban me like they just did in the Russia thread. Go back and see my post about WIV and Eco Alliance being elated that they can once again study GoF.

Wuhan, U.S. Scientists Planned to Make Coronaviruses, Documents Leaked by DRASTIC Show​


Scientists in the U.S. and China planned to create coronavirus genomes in order to study them, leaked documents show according to experts who spoke to Newsweek.

The plan was outlined in a proposal by the U.S. research organization EcoHealth Alliance to the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which was leaked in September by a group of online researchers and correspondents known as the Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19 (DRASTIC). The documents could not be verified by Newsweek.

EcoHealth Alliance has been under scrutiny in recent months due to its work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), a facility in the Chinese city of Wuhan that was the original epicenter of the COVID pandemic and where researchers study bat viruses. This research has placed it at the center of COVID lab leak theories.
 
I'm a supposed troll educating the guys that call others trolls yet add nothing but one sentence lies.

The origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 remains unclear, but recent revelations reinforce the likelihood that the true source was a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

A letter from Lawrence Tabak, the National Institutes of Health’s principal deputy director, to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) confirms that the NIH funded research at the WIV during 2018-2019 that manipulated a bat coronavirus called WIV1. Researchers at the institute grafted spike proteins from other coronaviruses onto WIV1 to see if the modified virus was capable of binding in a mouse that possessed the ACE2 receptors found in humans — the same receptor to which SARS-CoV-2 binds. The modified virus reproduced more rapidly and made infected humanized mice sicker than the unmodified virus.

Starting in 2014, the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, funded the New York-based research nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance with annual grants through 2020 for “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.”

It wasn't man-made. The virus has been sequenced. We know the markers involved in gene sequencing. Covid19 doesn't have them.

We know them, even if they are unpublished. You seriously think China has some scientific advances we don't know about?

Doesn't the vaccine also elevate cardiac risk?
To a much lesser degree than getting covid19. The vaccine will create a relatively small number of spike proteins for your immune system to respond to (thought to the trigger for the myocarditis issues, last I heard). The number of spike proteins created by covid infection would be a couple of orders of magnitude greater, at least.
