“Researching a new novel virus to prevent a public health issue and negligently releasing it” is a far cry from “created a new virus for world domination evil plan time”, to be clear.
Not saying the conspiracy theory is right. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable to consider there’s a chance it escaped the lab. Like even a small chance.
By bringing it up, you create the false perception that it is a larger chance then the miniscule possibility it actually is.
Why do you think it’s a minuscule possibility?
Because it jumped from an animal to a human, just like every other virus we've ever suffered from. If you've ever worked in agricultural, you'll know the massive amount of antibiotics it takes to keep animals raised for food healthy. Take that away, like in a wet market, and it's not shocking a virus would emerge.
There is also the government response of trying to cover it up instead of coming down hard. If it was from a lab they would have known exactly what it was capable of and that they couldn't hide it. The lab in question also had a mix of international scientists so it would have been even more difficult to keep a leak under wraps.
There is also the fact that lots of rightwing chuds would love it to have come from a lab, because that shifts the focus from managing a virus, to punishing someone for causing a virus. Turning boring precautions into emotionally satisfying revenge. So people want it to have come from a lab and will jump on to anything that confirms that bias.
You have no idea what you are talking about. It came from the lab, easy to catch, low symptoms. Then was shared in residence from "doctor" to "wet market worker".
If you know, you know.
My explanation is boring and in line with every other outbreak in human history. Your explanation is complex and extraordinary, requiring extraordinary evidence which you are unable to provide.
Your opinion is your explanation. I know. There's a difference.
Are you making a point about something? Nobody is arguing that it did or didn't start spreading from the lab.
All I'm saying is, I could go for some Chinese food rn.
Person above you is arguing that it’s only a “minuscule” possibility. The number of people downvoting me suggests they strongly disagree that it might have come from that Wuhan lab.
I don't think you can assume they're downvoting you for that reason.
A lot of people have used the suspected origin of the spread to imply that the conspiracy theories were correct all along. In fact, YOU replying with the origin appears to have the same purpose. Otherwise it's just not even relevant information. Either way, the downvotes are justified.
That one person arguing with you is either confused or just reflexively arguing.
I believe that it may have been released from the Wuhan lab inadvertently. And I'm downvoting you
Because when you first brought up the Wuhan lab it was as a rebuttal to somebody talking about the conspiracy theory that it was a bioweapon engineered to eliminate conservatives. So while you may be right about it's origins, it makes it seem like you are trying to defend that conspiracy theory, whether you actually are or not
If someone drowns in the ocean, they don't think it was because there was a lifeguard there. The lifeguard was there because it was an area with a high risk of people drowning.
If there’s a leak of nuclear material around the Chernobyl Power Plant, which happens to contain nuclear material, you don’t suspect that maybe that nuclear material came from the nuclear power plant? You don’t think there’s a possibility an accident may have occurred?
Nuclear material is not naturally occurring. Viruses are.
Rudy is h a c k e r m a n confirmed.
Remember that time Rudy the cyber-security expert said someone hacked his Twitter account because he autolinked a URL and some heroic American bought the domain to say how much of a crook Trump is?
Funniest thing until the Four Seasons Total Landscaping fiasco.
That explains the resurgence in Nazis. And the Laser Raptors.
What's crazy is forgetting you even dropped off a laptop at a service center. How high were you? Wait, no need to answer that.
I'm pretty sure what's being alleged is that there is real data exfiltrated from his devices on the laptop, but the laptop itself wasn't his. As in he was hacked, someone created the laptop with that data and added manipulations to it, then coincidently dropped it off to be "found".
Given the lack of proper chain of custody, it's probably likely.
That reminds me, I need to book a flight from here on the west coast to go get my laptop fixed at some obscure shop in N.J. Damn, I wish someone out here was blind enough to fix laptops.
exhilarated
LoL
Lol at mobile autocorrect, I wanted to say exfiltrated.
Nope, the allegation is that they had his laptop, but they modified some content in his harddisk to make it look like he put it there. The laptop itself isn't in question, some of the content is.
From Washington Post:
In the lawsuit, Biden does not concede that the laptop was his, but he does acknowledge that at least “some of the data that Defendants obtained, copied, and proceeded to hack into and tamper with belongs” to him. The lawsuit charges that Biden’s data was “manipulated, altered and damaged before it was copied and sent” to Giuliani and Costello.
He specifically says some of his private data was hacked, he's not saying the laptop they had was his, just they definitely had his private data.
As someone who runs a shop much like the one claiming to have been used by Hunter, when people leave their devices we don't get to do whatever we want with their data.
No doubt. I'm not saying anything in support of the guys who capitalized on the laptop. I'm just talking about how you can even forget you dropped off a laptop for service. May be its because I don't have the fuck you money he probably has, but it's mind boggling to me.
Tbh I still don't understand how people can leave their shit but we've got shelves full of devices we've fixed and no one answers the call to pick it up. There's a laptop sitting on the shelf that's been here longer than me and I've met the customer multiple times they just always say "I'll be back in a couple weeks for it."
If the owner was in one of the stores, he would "personally oversee" shall we say data retention? If the customer was a young (legal, as in not CP, but creepy age difference) woman.
Yeah, he backed up their data and looked for nudes. I was too young to know how to handle it, so when he said he couldn't pay me (even after it was due) I told him to fuck off.
I hope he fucked one of the day time strippers he spent most of his "office time" (the office being a strip club) with and wound up with an incurable STD.
I hope his wife found out. I hope she took him for everything.
Finally! Now with Hunter Biden's laptop data, they have all the secrets of everything.
From how Libs planned Jan 6, to flat Earth, to how COVID was planned in a Chinese laboratory to wipe out conservatives, to climate change hoax...
To be clear, there is a virus research lab in Wuhan and it did contain coronavirus before and during the pandemic.

Worked in a shady little PC repair shop.
