I assume people who still think a natural mutation is the source are either a)stupid or b) purposefully muddling the conversation.
Bern was correct in that it isn't a question of how (lab leak), but whether it was intentional or not. This devolves into 'consipracy theory' but recall what was going on internally in China prior to covid. Regardless of what they were dealing with from an international perspective, there was a lot of uncomfortable things occurring in Hong Kong and financially within their country.
The GOF discussion is a distraction. Grant funding by US government agencies go on all over the place. Money is fungible. I think Jimmy showed at one point that the NIH gave something like $600k to the Wuhan lab bio ecohealth. That amount is such an insignificant number that trying to say the US funded the GOF research that led to Covid is nothing more than a CCP talking point meant to sow division and discord.
