@jeffcliff @donnayoungdc @RogerFalcon What do you think is the source? You're aware that the initial group that condemned lab leak as a conspiracy theory were people who were tied to the project in some way, I'm sure. The doctors I spoke with thought it was a research containment failure. Not that it was an intentional bio weapon, but that they were trying to research coronaviruses because of SARS and MERS and such, and in the process might have created a viable path for a variant to flourish in humans. This sounds far more believable to me than "wet market" a few kilometers from a biosafety level 4 lab. If a random weird disease showed up near Fort Detrick, MD, I'd look at USAMRID as a source.
