Accident with a different virus, 16 years ago. Published on WebMD for everyone to read.

Different virus, 12 years ago, no incidents, research needed to understand these viruses. Don't see how this is relevant in any way. All it proves is that research into viruses happens, which I'm personally very glad about.

Same :/

"Could", "risky", etc. No evidence of Sars-CoV-2 being engineered in any way.

So there's a lab where they study dangerous viruses. Again, no proof of your claim in any way.

More speculation.

Even if that's true, so what? None of the viruses mentioned are Sars-CoV-2. Some are related, but so is the common cold. Was that engineered as well?

I remember, yes. Instances of IP theft not involving Sars-CoV-2 (as far as I can tell) are not proof of Sars-CoV-2 being engineered. Why do you think they are?


>Right before Covid-19 came out.

Yeah. Research, IP theft and speculation happen all the time, also right before a major pandemic. Also before the virus outbreaks that didn't turn into a major pandemic. I guess they finally engineered it well enough???

You made quite an extraordinary claim and the only evidence you post couldn't even be described as circumstantial.

And again, there are a ton of people around the world whose job it is to keep up with this stuff, and I haven't seen any of them claiming Sars-CoV-2 was engineered. Not in the US, not over here, nowhere. Maybe they're all in on it. Or maybe you should be mailing them these links, because it would be a shocker of global proportions if it were true and PLENTY of scientists would be more than glad to scream it from the rooftops. They're not all paid by China, or the IP theft wouldn't even be necessary, lol.

You really have to do better if you want to convince me that "it was engineered" (for which there is no evidence) instead of it having jumped from animals (for which there is a ton of evidence).
