Subject: Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?
Sounds good, but is naive. Someone here remembers the heater discussion about the origin of the SARS-CoV2 virus? Not just out there, but also on this board? Me and the one or two others who posted info material supporting the lab origin theory "of course" were treated dismissive as it was "clear" that it was far more likely that the origin was Wuhan's animal market than that Lab.

I think it's worthwhile making the distinction between the "bioweapon invented in a lab" conspiracy theory justly mocked here and elsewhere, versus the all-too-plausible "leak from a lab doing respectable work without tight enough controls".

It's pretty depressing how many infections and (more rarely) external leaks there are from otherwise well run labs. Usually they peter out quickly, but not always.
