Against someone who dismisses peer reviewed research in favour of conspiracy theory, I do not, that's correct.

Lol.

OK. So your belief in a lab leak is based on no evidence and you are going to ignore all evidence to the contrary. Truly exemplary research skills on display here. >Why is jumping the species barrier so rare? It isn't rare. The International Society for Infectious Diseases reports spill-over events that are reported throughout their network every day. [promedmail.org](https://promedmail.org) Subscribe to their emails and you'll see how relentless the spill-overs are. You can even watch a significant outbreak grow from day to day. Sometimes it happens and we know about it. Other times it happens and we only know about it later through serological studies. In those cases, we see that a lot of people were infected but the pathogenicity was too low to ring alarm bells outside the outbreak zone. There is constantly so much happening everywhere all the time but unless we're studying it, we're not aware of it. But you won't believe any of that either I suppose, because it comes from research scientists (AKA the aUtHoRiTieS). Politicians are just renowned for putting health and safety ahead of corporate profit, can totally see why you'd go with them and dismiss the entire global scientific fraternity.

SARS-CoV-2 displays several mechanisms of adaptation that enable it to escape the human defense barriers and take advantage of host cell resources for its profit. Like other RNA viruses, it shows a high proneness to mutate and, therefore, to adapt to new hosts and environments. There is substantial body of scientific evidence supporting a zoonotic origin. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00998-y https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9420317/ https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mbio.00583-23 I fully expect you'll ignore all of this and continue to spread lies that you've unquestioningly accepted from politicians. All the while blaming your lack of evidence on conspiracy theories about political collusion, for which you also have no evidence. No-one cares about your opinion, just cite the evidence.

Most human infectious diseases are initially transmitted from animals, including the Ebola virus, the H1N1 influenza virus, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the SARS coronavirus (SARS), MERS virus, and now, the potent novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Most major Chinese cities have one or more active coronavirus laboratories. The Chinese government established these laboratories after multiple spillovers of the first SARS-CoV in 2002 through 2004, which caused approximately 8,000 cases of severe respiratory disease worldwide and at least 744 deaths. Viruses can emerge or reemerge large distances from the site of their initial spillover, and SARS-CoV emerged multiple times in Chinese megacities similar distances from where its closest bat progenitors have been found. To this day, no scientific data exist to support a lab leak of SARS-CoV-2. https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jvi.00365-23;jsessionid=058C0D8641D5FEB3042F20C666CE7E6C https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2214427119
