>>12903513They also claimed that masks don't work, even though we know that they do, and it's hard to believe that they had know idea about COVID. I'm a grad student in mathematical biology, and my department has don't a lot of research on COVID (and we were actually studying the same stuff before COVID - one of our professors has even done work modeling SARS epidemics for nearly 10 years). Anyway, everyone saw this coming. There were literally dozens of researches who were raising alarms as early as early January 2020. The data was already coming in, even before COVID had been identified, and a lot of researches correctly recognized that it was an epidemic of some sort of SARS-related pathogen. Furthermore, some iIRC the US Navy and intelligence community was already studying the phenomenon back in December 2019, and studies have already demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 infections had already occurred in humans as early as fall 2019.
Also, the idea that SARS-CoV-2 might have been a lab leak, is taken seriously by pretty much all the biologists and mathematicians that I know. Do we think it's certain? No, but it's highly probable that it was a lab leak, but anyone who publicly suggests the possibility is instantly smeared by the uninformed masses and the corporate-establishment media machine. Personally, I do suspect that it was an accidental lab leak (not a bioweapon), but that can't be confirmed until the lab and the details surrounding it are made fully open to the global scientific community, but that is never going to happen, and any relevant records and information have probably already been destroyed. (And yes, I'm aware of the WHO investigation into Wuhan Labs, but that was just one investigation, it was extremely late in the process, and we really need the general scientific community to weigh-in, not just a single group of mainly bureaucrats (i.e. not real scientists), all of whom have close ties to China.
