Indeed, in February, 2020 after I had learned that the pandemic had originated in Wuhan, China, home of their infamous BSL-4 laboratory, without evidence, just the kind of reasoning we used when I studied thermodynamics as an undergraduate physics major, I made a Facebook post containing the following quote: “The overwhelming likelihood, on the order of 99.999+ %, is that the Virus entered the human population by escaping from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, rather than from an intermediate animal host.”
Hi Reid - I do not believe in the release of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the Wuhan lab. It may be easy to manipulate the sequence of a virus, but it is exceedingly difficult to test it. I talked a lot to Soviet scientists from the Vector Institute in Novosibirsk, which was an institute dedicated to the development of biological weapons. Not even one project succeeded, even though some of the constructs were tested on "volunteers", young recruits from units stationed in Siberia. The only "success" was a severe outbreak of anthrax among Vector workers when containment failed.
oops. I meant to write "a trillionth" only 9 times...
