The Epoch Times' Self-Proclaimed Anti-Communist Bias
The Epoch Times has a self-proclaimed anti-communist bias and stands for traditional values and awareness of virtues.

"We stand against the systematic destruction of traditional culture by destructive ideologies such as communism, which continues to harm societies around the world," according to The Epoch Times "About" page. "We are inspired in this mission by our own experience. The Epoch Times was founded in 2000 to bring honest and uncensored news to people oppressed by the lies and violence of communism. Fulfilling this mission is our passion and our greatest honor."

No, the coronavirus wasn’t made in a lab. A genetic analysis shows it’s from nature

China has no other way of leveling the economic playing field .

China has lots of ways of levelling the economic field. This isn’t one of them.

??? another hypothesis please?
they have excess population comparatively .We recent imposed sanctions on exporting of high tech information . If you undo the population and economy of a more successful country by disease process, And that countries population is smaller than your own countries . Your losses of working personnel of your smaller country might mitigate your countries ability to act in the global economic sector ?????

All the scientific journals are saying it's natural, not engineered. There are links in the previous comments.

The downside became apparent on Jan. 31, after a group of researchers at the Indian Institutes of Technology posted on bioRxiv an analysis that purported to find an “uncanny similarity” between tiny segments of the virus' genes to sequences found in HIV — implying that new virus could be a laboratory-generated mutant. The authors posted a link to their paper on Twitter, and their claim gained attention globally.

Within hours, Bedford and other genomics experts posted fierce criticism of the bioRxiv paper. They pointed out that these same short sequences can be matched in coronaviruses previously found in wild bats and are commonplace in nature. If you searched for these short sequences in gene libraries, you’ll spot them “throughout the tree of life,” Bedford said later in an interview.

The chastened authors marked their paper “withdrawn” two days later, but a contagion of weak science and outright falsehoods had been unleashed. Freely available to anyone, the story morphed and blossomed on the websites of conspiracy theorists who headlined that “Scientists Confirm” the virus was “Man-Made.”

“In the scientific realm, things corrected themselves very quickly. That’s exactly how you want science to happen,” Bedford said. “But the post was picked up by various websites that are outside of the scientific dialog, and it doesn’t seem to be easily squashed.”

The center has employed three recipients of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine:

Linda Buck, Ph.D., who received the award in 2004 for solving many details of the olfactory system;[17] and
E. Donnall Thomas, M.D., who received the award in 1990 for his pioneering work in bone-marrow transplantation and who died in 2012;[18][19] and
Lee Hartwell, Ph.D., who received the honor in 2001 for his discoveries regarding the mechanisms that control cell division.[20] After retiring from leading the center in 2010, Hartwell left to join Arizona State University.[21]

either had problems with your links not addressing the science behind the method of development nor did they name , names of specific personnel doing the research . Had keen recognition of the type of process of the development of this pathogen .. It was uncanny how much of what i saw on the video were qualified years ago as processes by which to weaponize a virus or bacteria, And efforts to make them resistant , in vivo to be destroyed by normal antibiotic administration methods . There already exists from 1975 based on USA miltary research designed bacteria , with the same develop outter shell , to preserve them if they attacked by normal immune function or exposure to a adverse environment . Aswell as having made them resistant to almost all antibiotic regimen . The statements made in that video , also mimic some of the public information about the specific type of antiviral , recently used to treat HIV . Would be the medicine to treat this stuff .Maybe coincidence but that info blurb about the type of antiviral appeared breifly on KCTV news channel. think it was rencycloveir . pardon my spelling please.

I don't know about the bioweapon theory, but I'm very willing to entertain the lab escape theory over the bat-less seafood market one.

My point is I don't think it's settled just because some scientists say very early on: "It's naturally derived. Nothing to see here. Case closed."
