How the lab leak is not considered a fact already? Have everyone forgot about this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28644428 ?

The leaked grant plus Peter Daszak Wikipedia page screams “guilty”



sort by: page size:

This article is from May 12, 2020. Since then, an incredible volume of information has come forth about the lab leak.

The lab leak is still not known or accepted by the wider public. Even after vanity fairs write up.

Just a reminder that Bret Weinstein and crew once again predicted the exact nature of the leak, including citing Peter Daszak involvement, a full 6 MONTHS before the lab leak theory started to go from conspiracy theory to mainstream :

For those that haven't seen it he backed the lab leak theory very publicly some time back

Rootclaim debated this with a $100,000 bet saying it was a lab leak. They lost[1].

This article is already taken care of that hasn't it? 80% of it is spent smearing anyone who knew from the beginning that logically this was overwhelmingly likely to be a lab leak.

The leaks reveal the confidence of a proposal and path to accomplish the genetic manipulation that Daszak and his associates have been aggressively refuting. This information contradicts those previous statements. It appears Daszak may have conflicts of interest that need more investigation.

We know lots about lab leaks, there have been 1000s of compromising incidents over the years. Each one is a lottery ticket. The winning lottery ticket doesn't really teach us anything that we can't learn from the losing tickets.

You were absolutely allowed to say that, you just weren’t allowed to assert that it was definitely leaked from the lab. You’ve fallen for the false grievances pushed by blatant con men like Alex Berenson.

I mean the answer is obvious to me: reputational “skin in the game”. Lab leak is an extremely specific assertion that someone else could easily criticize.

Mentioning a lab leak as being worth considering was effectively banned on multiple major platforms for a long period.

Lab leak. Got you banned all over the place to discuss until it turned out to be legit.

Oops.


They're looking for a round of funding so of course it was "leaked".

It's not a leak unless the leaker proves its origin.

I agree. Redistribution of public knowledge can hardly be described as a "leak".

I received an email from haveibeenpwned.com about this, but I don't see how this makes sense, given that no information was revealed that users hadn't consented to reveal.
