Conspiracy theories

It isn't that I'm closed minded. No evidence has been presented to show it has come from a lab. So how can you use that as an argument? If evidence was found that showed it was, I am happy to change my mind.

My question to you is, what makes you think it could've come from a lab (other than the fact there is a lab there)?
Because it’s exciting

I think stringent measures and a lot of hard work would need to be put in place in an effort to stop all of the coronaviruses that they spend their time working on from escaping from the Wuhan lab. I think it’s entirely possible that one or two of these measures could fail to work, that they could be breached.
 
Thanks.

Fair enough, there have been other recent simulations.They didn't come up on my first page Google but they are very interesting. This is how Wiki describes the Crimson Contagion:

Crimson Contagion was a joint exercise conducted from January to August 2019, in which numerous national, state and local, private and public organizations in the US participated, in order to test the capacity of the federal government and twelve states to respond to a severe pandemic of influenza originating in China.

The simulation, which was conducted months prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, involves a scenario in which tourists returning from China spread a respiratory virus in the United States, beginning in Chicago. In less than two months the virus had infected 110 million Americans, killing more than half a million.
Just goes to show doesn't it. Thats how most conspiracy theories take people in. Find a tenuous link, then greatly exaggerate its importance to draw incorrect conclusions, which is the point I have been trying to make. Just because there is a 0.001% chance of something being true, doesn't make it likely to be the truth.

It really doesn't take much scratching beneath the surface to show conspiracy theories for what they really are.

Exactly this. In the meantime it distracts from utter troglodytes that have handled containing the virus abysmally leading to thousands of deaths. Hold them to account, not Bill Gates, F absolute FS! If there is any conspiracy here, it is most likely the these rumours are created and perpetuated at the behest of governments or supporters who have categorically failed to protect their citizens. Drives me mental

Exactly then they ask you to disprove something that hasn’t been proven lol

The point I've been trying to make is that I'm open to the evidence available, and that I'll raise an eyebrow if Bill Gates ends up saving the day.

Plucking figures like 0.001% out of your arse, on the other hand, is just nonsense.
 
‘Hi Bill, you know this simulation that you’re planning? Well do you think this is wise given the BIG plan that we have in store? Could draw unwanted attention and eyebrow raising of biblical proportions!’

A bit like announcing the collapse of the WT7 building on the BBC news 40 minutes before it happened. Or a 'Security Consultant' telling the world that they had been tasked with a replica of the 7/7 event as a training exercise on the morning of 7/7.

This is a conspiracy theory thread. I think critique is welcome, but maybe it's not the place for people that become agitated by anything other than the BBC narrative, such as, 'it definitely came from the food market'.
 
It underpins one of the reasons that I would raise an eyebrow.

I happen to think that holding the military games in Wuhan, down the road from a massive coronavirus testing lab in Wuhan, at the exact same time that Bill Gates is coordinating his coronavirus worldwide pandemic simulation, a few weeks before a new coronavirus outbreak occurs in Wuhan, which leads to a worldwide pandemic, happens to be a tad suspicious.

If Bill Gates ends up saving the day via mandatory vaccination, I'll be raising an eyebrow.

Dymak this crap up as you go along?
 

No mate. None of that is made up. None at all. It's all entirely verifiable.

The hypothesis that it definitely came from a food market, however? Not so much.
Very exciting finding all this out isn’t it? I’m surprised you don’t do more than raise an eyebrow, maybe a chin stroke

Didn't we go through the difference between hypothetical and verifiable before?

It's been a theme running throughout this thread. The only thing that appears to have been verified is that nobody has been able to verify where this coronavirus has come from, and that people are only able to put forward unverified hypotheses at this time.

Nobody has come up with a formula in which a particular hypothesis can be subject to a calculation that details its probability in the form of a percentage. You have tried to, but it's not based on anything, and has no validity.
