CCP Lied About Covid Virus. Was COVID Created in a Lab?

I think it's really hard to be realistic about dangers - not to dismiss them and not to overestimate them. In public discourse, all dangers tend to be overblown by some and dismissed by others - from global warming to covid to economical risks, to international tensions and intranational conflicts...

Humans suck at being realistic about dangers.

Well when and if the US has that new civil war that people are increasingly talking about, I'm going to have to fight the urge to tell people "I told you so!"

With all respect - covid sucks as a possible biological weapon.
The very idea of any weapon is to harm your enemies without harming yourself.
Easily transmittable and usually mild diseases that often spread undetected but 1-2% turn out deadly are extremely poor for this purpose.

Well, if covid was intended as a bioweapon, it clearly sucks.
I still find regular research a more probable option because up to 2020, Chinese scientists were accelerating in every area, including mine. Do you know I was invited to a conference in physics that was going to take place in Wuhan in Spring 2020?
I expect them to have had plenty of research of all kinds in this city, the vast majority of it being entirely regular research.

I believe that Dr. Fauci was caught between "the devil and the deep blue sea", and is now being made everybody's scapegoat.

If it was a biowopen it did not suck. It shut down a lot of the world. In the U.S. it exacerbated political divisions and helped undercut America's belief in its scientists. Such things as quiet quitting are an indication that the work ethic that made America the economic powerhouse it is took a hit.

My problem is with all these "it was a lab leak" people doing a victory dance, bragging they were right all along about how evil the CCP is, scolding those wet market theorists who shamed, dismissed, and othered them is that they are doing almost the same damn thing about the possibility it was a deliberately released bioweapon.

The CCP is evil, but that evil? No, No, No. Obviously, the CCP intentionally doing something that would hurt their own people to such a degree would be depraved to the extreme. There is CCP precident. Does the cultural revolution ring a bell? That was half a century ago you say. What about the Uyghurs?
