[OC] More Americans are believing COVID-19 originated from a lab in China. However, there is still no conclusive evidence to support one theory over another. The topic is highly politicizing both internally (US Political Parties) and externally (US-China relations).Submitted by Square_Tea4916 t3_11sthk3 in dataisbeautiful

If the "Lab Theory" is true, I'd like to know what happened leading to the millions of deaths around the world. There's 2 main avenues I can see:
-
Accidental - Gap in Lab protocols caused a leak of the covid-19 virus as they were studying. This is the most likely (or would like to believe) scenario if you support the Lab theory.
-
Intentional - Bad actors deliberately leaked the virus knowing the damage it could potentially cause. This has very dangerous implications.
Either way, it's in our very human nature to ask why and discover why something happened the way it happened in attempts to prevent or intervene in the future.

Unfortunately people will study conspiracy tv theories rather than actual scientific articles

We know where it came from, the coronavirus (es) r among the most common natural pathogens and cross species contamination ( wet markets) encourage them to jump into new vectors and pandemic. It's been an obvious concern for decades, it happened before in China but everyone in the west forgot about. Therefore pandering them with creative lies works well on them.

Hmmm imo COVID fucked over China too( based on their economic performance right now and recent wave ) far too much for the 2nd option to even be considered but that doesn't mean lab leak theory is not possible. Not to mention how paranoid Xi was from 2020-2022 with his zero-COVID lockdowns and the recent massive waves there, which means he may have known something???.
Not to mention, Xi has been silently, suddenly caring about the the safety regulations of labs in China , something which they never bothered to do before. Maybe Xi knows something??? Why would he do this if he's so confident that it didn't come from a lab. Maybe because deep down he knows the Wuhan lab messed up???. Maybe???
