That won't fix your lack of evidence.
If you had some, you'd be right, it wouldn't be a fringe topic anymore, it would be a proven claim.
But I'm not getting a fair hearing here -
you constantly shoot the messenger -
even top new services like Reuters -
it doesn't matter what I find it's never good enough for you.
You are not being unfairly treated.
You started this thread in the Fringe after already posting in the main Corona Virus thread located in the dedicated Coronavirus forum.
The article you linked is from a blog stating,
"Coronavirus Exposed, Part 1: Communist Coverup, or Pandemic Bioweapon of Mass Destruction?"
It explores speculative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19, particularly focusing on the proximity of the Wuhan Institute of Virology to the outbreak site, and the suggestion that the virus could be a bioweapon. However, the article stops short of making any definitive conclusions on these theories.
What you've done since is claim to have provided evidence supporting the veracity of these and other similar claims, yet none of that evidence actually substantiates the assertions you’ve made.
While these theories may be plausible, they remain unproven.
In some cases, you’ve taken this even further, using the lack of proof to suggest that this is evidence of a cover-up, and therefore, what you believe must be true.
You are free to hold those beliefs, but once you begin to make definitive statements about what is or isn't real, and cannot substantiate them, you will be called out, just as anyone else would.
You’re encouraged to share your opinions and theories here, that’s the purpose of this forum. But when you transition from speculation into declaring what is and isn't true, you’ll be asked to provide proof.
Until we have definitive evidence, what we're dealing with are theories, not established facts. We don’t yet know the precise origin of SARS-CoV-2.
To illustrate, I could follow the same logic and claim that COVID was deliberately released by Trump, in China, to implicate them, destabilise the global economy, and divert attention away from the faltering economic indicators under his watch.
Much of that is based in truth, the US economy was indeed starting to struggle before the virus appeared, it originated in China, and the global economic damage provided cover for US economic performance.
But that's where reasonable speculation stops.
I could then go a step further and argue, "Trump covered it up, that's why there’s no evidence of him ordering the release of the virus, therefore, it must be true." That’s exactly the sort of leap you’re making.
Would you accept this as definitive proof that COVID was released by Trump to cover his failures?
No, of course not, because it’s not proof.
But that’s precisely what you expect of us regarding China. Then you throw a tantrum when you're called out?
Come on, Bobby, get real...
