I agree, but one scenario demands several years of natural virus evolution (accelerated by overpopulation by a factor 10?
Do you have anything to support that claim?
No, I don't. It is a wild ass guess. My point is, a lab can accelerate virus alterations by a factor of 1000. We live in an overpopulated world where animal-human interactions multiply, but I doubt by a factor of 1000.
Still, it does not matter! A virus evolving naturally has to deal with randomness, a virus being manipulated in a lab is being done so with all the purpose.
The same purpose Exxon prospects for more extraction locations, Ford builds huge trucks... Hey It's progress! An Internal Combustion Engine is a great scientific advance with all the purpose. We have all the science to drill in the correct place and find the oil.
And assuming that is correct, isn't it equally as plausible to say that it did take a long time but we had no idea it was happening?
Or maybe it was always sitting there waiting for a host it could adapt to easily, and then we turn up?
Or maybe one of the reasons the virus was being researched was the possibility that it would mutate in some way to cause a potential pandemic.... and they were right to think that?
Yes, you may be right.
But the more I read about virus manipulation research, the more I think is a very very bad way to follow. Perhaps Wuhan outbreak origin was natural, but it has attracted my attention to this issue, and I don't like it a single bit.
Dr Fauci should be listened to because he is an expert in his field. That video you shared that is somehow meant to discredit him (and by default everything he says), is more an example of one person attempting to keep a narcissist from stopping what little information he was able to deliver as best as he could..... have you considered for even one moment that Fauci downplayed the risk because Trump wanted it downplayed? It is a matter of public record that Trump was well aware of how dangerous Covid is and decided on inaction.... and there is Fauci, the person to deliver the information in a stressful political environment, having to disagree with Trump who is famous for dismissing anyone who disagrees with him.
Dr. Fauci is an expert, Dr. Mengele was not an idiot either. I am not saying Dr. Fauci is Frankenstein but he talks to the public as if we were all idiots. And he lies like it's nothing. That video of Dore is so revealing.
How anyone can still defend the likes of Trump these days is an act of blind faith.... and you have that in abundance.
Did I defend the likes of Trump? Are you talking about Dore? Or what exactly? Are you implying that I
ever voted Trump? Because I dislike Fauci?
Dore is a leftist, dude. He's more leftist than anybody in the Dem party. He actually pushes for a third party. He definitely is not in favor of the neoLib pro-Establishment, pro-eternal war, pro-climate in platitudes but pro-fracking in facts, anti-Medicare4All, pro-virus-manipulation, pro-Elites goons that we are about to suffer for four years,. Man...
Sorry for the off-topic, just to clarify some points.
I am anti Trump because he is a monster, not because it is cool.
I trust Fauci in spite of his gaming with those particular numbers because his position was tough, and he is an expert in this field.
Well, good luck trusting him! You're gonna need it!

EDIT: After all the rant I realize you're from Australia. So what do you care about Dr. Fauci? Doesn't your country have its own experts? I don't understand...
