    Evidence SARS-CoV-2 Emerged From a Biological Laboratory in Wuhan, China — Published April 16, 2020.

    "The goal of this document is to examine evidence that may prove that (1) the SARS-CoV-2 virus was present at a biolaboratory in Wuhan, China, and (2) the SARS-CoV-2 virus was introduced into the greater Wuhan population by an infected lab worker or animal. These claims from this point on will be referred to as Claim 1 and Claim 2.

    This document does not attempt to provide a concrete conclusion on whether either claim is factually true. Rather, it examines the probability that each claim is true to allow the reader to make his or her own conclusions. While either claim cannot be irrevocably proven true, an attempt has been made to ensure the evidence used to support these claims is as factual as possible.

    Furthermore, this document does not attempt to investigate claims that SARS-CoV-2 is a "man-made bioweapon" or whether its release was intentional. See A Note on Biowarfare and "HIV Inserts".

    If you would like to see a summarized version of every claim in this document, please see the Conclusion."

    • Ooooh GitHub, now there's a reliable source.Continuity
    • interesting, but as you have presumably read it all as chosen to share it can you give a summary please?fadein11
    • So let's just blame corruption, more or less?
      ********
    • btw, AGAIN "officials in Wuhan [...] on Friday added 1,290 coronavirus deaths to the city's toll."
      ********
    • Reads like someone trying to fake the appearance of a scientific paperqoob
    • reads like someone trying to be neutral in filtering the facts for the truth.shapesalad
    • cool, so you read the first bit and then shared it?fadein11
    • link tourettes!fadein11
    • "We are an anonymous group of researchers." lol, so bullshirt artists of the highest order.dorf

    • The Trump admin has apparently decided to start pushing this idea to distract from their failure in preventing the outbreak.yuekit
    • But if you read closely the reporting as well as this wiki shapesalad posted, there is basically no real evidence.yuekit
    • Yes there is a virus lab in the same city. Now try opening Google Maps and search virus lab. Most likely if you live in a major city there will also be one.yuekit
    • Yes there were safety concerns at Chinese labs. But again...try searching the same thing in any other country.yuekit
    • For instance:

    • So yeah all this stuff is intriguing, but when the authors say it's therefore likely the virus leaked from a lab they are giving away their bias. No scientistyuekit
    • would conclude this based on such sketchy anecdotal evidence while leaving out the likelihood of other possibilities (which are basically endless).yuekit
    • Latest thinking among virologists that the virus might have been circulating for years or even decades in humans undetected also punches a hole in this theory.yuekit
