The Left hates that COVID may be from a lab leak
|
[Hot Air] The Left is circling the wagons around the risible notion that COVID has a purely zoonotic origin.
I say the notion is risible despite several Intelligence agencies and many "experts" maintaining that the virus jumped species at a wet market in China because...it really is laughable. There is no identified animal reservoir for the virus, no evidence of "bat soup" at the market, and the Wuhan Insitute of Virology—a few blocks away—did research on bat viruses and even gain-of-function research that was funded by the EcoHealth Alliance, using NIAID money.
And we all know that China has been covering up since the beginning of the pandemic. It would be a hell of a coincidence if this weren’t a lab leak.
Occam’s razor says the virus escaped the lab, almost certainly by accident. I don’t buy the intentional release scenario because China has paid an enormous price for its Zero-COVID strategy. I doubt it was biological warfare research, but maybe I am just naive. I think it was arrogant scientists doing what arrogant people do: playing God.
The recent change in the Department of Energy’s position regarding the origins of COVID—and I expect that over the coming years, the rest of the Establishment will similarly admit the obvious—is driving the Left nuts.
There really is no explanation for this if you assume that they actually care about the facts. Even should they disagree with the analysis, about which we have relatively little concrete data, the origin of the virus is a matter of fact, not ideology. Right?
Well, no. Just as the issue of whether masking works or not is hardly a matter of science, but of commitment. When the Left speaks of The Science™ they are actually asserting the importance of authority. Science is about discovering what is, authority is about obeisance to the powerful.
It is the latter that matters to the powers that be.
