The coincidence of location is a reason to *look into* the lab leak, not to believe it despite no evidence.
The Occam’s razor of this issue is that of all the places in the world, it happened right where they were experimenting on novel coronaviruses. It’s not exactly a bat shit conspiracy theory (pun intended)…

This is like believing levees cause flooding, tbh.
huh puzzler there
Idc if no leak has ever happened: it still wouldn't mean that leaks are impossible.
Except we've already had "H5N1 gain-of-function in a substandard lab" in the US.
Don't do it calling it "innocuous" or claiming you have good intentions.
And don't tell me that citizens have no right to this opinion.
GoF is an incredibly broad term that encompasses a wide swath of normal biological research and development. Unless you can point to the specific function, it's just fearmongering.

It is not, however, evidence that her specific husband committed a specific crime. You still need to either prove it or rule him out!

Amber Heard is not a perfect victim, that is it. There was a HUGE campaign driven by misogyny, to make her the abuser.
This is not unusual, happens all the time.
Johnny Depp is literally friends with fascists 🫠
It wouldn't be shocking if New York City was both home to very important research related to a disease and a novel disease, but because people underestimate Wuhan's scale it seems coincidental.
I bet it's just some guy named Occam who really loves shaving and bought himself a fancy blade that became a meme.
That sounds like the simplest explanation.
Lab leak possible: They admit it!
Lab leak denial: Methinks you doth protest too much
Vague equivocation: Why can’t you be certain?
Silence: Nobody’s talking about this
THEY PUT THE LAB THERE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE NATURAL ORIGIN OF CORONAVIRUSES IS
Can you imagine people claiming the lab cause the volcano because what are the chances there was a volcano lab there?
ITS AT THE PLACE OF THE DANGER TO STUDY THE DANGER
Parsimony would mean defaulting to zoological origin without clear evidence otherwise. That was the path every other time.
Parsimony would also not favor "by coincidence, the place a lab employee first spread it happened to be a wet market."
If someone found a bear skeleton in NYC my first question isn't going to be "this happened in a city with museums?"
The outbreak was even near the lab.
