The virus has not been identified in any animal and there is no evidence that it exists. &#8220;bat soup&#8221; at the market, and the Wuhan Insitute of Virology\u2013a few blocks away\u2013did research on bat viruses and even gain-of-function research that was funded by the EcoHealth Alliance, using NIAID money.<\/p>\n<p>We all know China has been hiding the truth since the outbreak of the pandemic. It would be an incredible coincidence if this wasn&#8217;t a laboratory leak.<\/p>\n<p>Occam\u2019s razor states that the virus escaped from the lab almost certainly by accident. Because China has paid a tremendous price for Zero COVID, I don&#8217;t believe the intentional release scenario. Although I doubt that it was biological warfare research I may be wrong. It was probably arrogant scientists playing God, I believe.<\/p>\n<p>The recent change in the Department of Energy&#8217;s position regarding the origins of COVID\u2013and I expect that over the coming years, the rest of the Establishment will similarly admit the obvious\u2013is driving the Left nuts.<\/p>\n<p>This is a clear explanation if they really care about facts. Even if they disagree with our analysis, which is not supported by concrete data, the source of the virus is a matter factual and not an ideology. Right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, no. The question of masking is not a science issue, but one of commitment. When the Left speaks of The Science\u2122 they are actually asserting the importance of authority. Science is about discovering the truth, authority is about obeying the powerful.<\/p>\n<p>To the powers that are, it is the latter that matters.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MSNBC is next <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kasie?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Kasie<\/a> Hunt: &#8220;This question about the Wuhan lab \u2014 we know it&#8217;s been debunked, that this virus was man-made or modified or anything like that.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LTYzUhm6ey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/LTYzUhm6ey<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomselliott\/status\/1630280382795902976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">February 27, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Left has chosen their attack on Energy&#8217;s analysis.

After watching the government in action for over 40 years and participating in many discussions, I can attest to my knowledge. &#8220;experts,&#8221; My skepticism has been earned. Rarely have the outcomes of policy decisions made by experts turned out to be anything like what I predicted.<\/p>\n<p>They are usually wrong. You can check my predictions if you are unsure.<\/p>\n<p>Experts are not devoid of expertise\u2013you can learn a lot from them. Experts rarely have a coherent view of situations. Their knowledge is often fragmented and therefore can be very misleading. Most importantly, they have no idea of human behavior. They are able to analyze the math of a situation with great precision and often come up with the most absurd conclusions based upon their certainty that they understand the whole.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t rocket science because rocket science is very simple. The human behavior, biological processes and everything related to it are all different things. People are not pinballs.<\/p>\n<p>The Left finds the lab leak theory so offensive because it undermines other people&#8217;s faith in experts who are dependent upon their policies and power. Except when experts support their ideologies, the Left is not interested in the actual assertions made by experts.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, they continue to assert that the CDC is correct about masks despite obvious evidence.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This was in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MSNBC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@MSNBC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NicolleDWallace?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@NicolleDWallace<\/a> You will be eviscerated <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@realDonaldTrump<\/a> For pushing the conspiracy theory that COVID escaped a Chinese lab at Wuhan Institute of Virology. <\/p>\n<p>This is why you should not say anything with absolute certainty, this is why you should\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4rPUPz1bqk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/4rPUPz1bqk<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v1xCVF1sMF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/v1xCVF1sMF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Simon Ateba (@simonateba) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/simonateba\/status\/1630532786854539266?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">February 28, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In 2020, the possibility of a leaky lab had to be disproved.
