13.10.2025 13:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0oh my god. 1. it is a fallacy and 2. it absolutely undermines your counter argument. I have provided links for you to understand the fallacy. It is not my fault if you won't read them. Don't be irrational.
13.10.2025 13:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0also given that you don't even accept you are continually the fallacies as corner stones of your argument - you are in no position to lecture me on whether or not I should point them out. It's not a magic spell to identify them in another's argument: it's basic analysis.
13.10.2025 12:47 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Why are you so aggressive and condescending? Try not resorting to ad hominem. I have made continual arguments.

03.10.2025 09:36 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0no it isn't: it's the genetic fallacy.
03.10.2025 09:34 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0only 1 sample was A and that was 6 months after outbreak.

03.10.2025 09:34 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0some people are still experiencing an auto-immune reaction to the vaccine now. The only thinking preventing it from killing them is blood thinner drugs taken continuously in perpetuity.
02.10.2025 14:10 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0yeah I guess subconsciously I've taken an interest in covid origins because of the second/third order effects on me (covid led to pandemic which led to vaccine development which led to vaccine side effects - which led to near death experience)

02.10.2025 14:07 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0so far so good - there's a similar problem on the vaccine side. I got VITT which made anti-vaxxers think I was one of them. I went on to have 3 pfizer vaccines after the 1 astrazeneca vaccine that nearly killed me.
02.10.2025 14:06 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Well I am very interested indeed - especially given the impact of covid on my own life, the impact on the globe.

The question is: why?
you are not sure why it matters what the origin of covid was?
02.10.2025 11:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0OK but I'm just saying the reasons for having a default are based on circumstantial evidence which has been used in this debate as a justification for why the lab leak theory is wrong (the evidence is circumstantial)
02.10.2025 10:47 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Also the lab was only operating at a very low biosafety level - BSL-2 - which is essentially: you wear a hood and there's airflow in the hood. Nowhere near the level needed for such dangerous viruses. And when samples were taken from the wild, they didn't suit up either.
02.10.2025 10:46 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Around that time a military general was sent by the Chinese government to take charge of the lab - which to me sounds suspicious though I agree it's not proof of anything.
02.10.2025 10:44 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0One of the problems in proving the lab leak theory is that the database of genetic samples was deleted (I think Q4 2019). So even if there was a sample more closely related than the Laos sample (96% related) it can't be demonstrated: because the data has been deleted/classified.
02.10.2025 10:44 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0those are both circumstantial pieces of evidence too. But the lab leak theory has even more circumstantial evidence than the zoonitic origin theory.
02.10.2025 10:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Troll. I did provide evidence - you just couldn't be bothered to listen to it or read it. But it's pointless engaging with trolls. The reason I am writing this is not for you but for others who may read this thread. To those people: the account I am replying to is a truly vile human being.
