Thread Jacking this #Thread to write a #Thread 🧵 because I’m loosing my mind over this “it came form the lab” shit right now.

First off, let’s get a VERY IMPORTANT FACT STRAIGHT. All scientist agree (Read that again), #COVID19 is not a man created bio weapon! forbes.com/sites/coronavi…

Once again #COVID19 is not a BIO WEAPON!

Now that we understand that, I’m calling every single news agency out on this. COMING FROM THE LAB AND BEING MADE BY THE LAB ARE DIFFERENT! @CNN @MSNBC @ScottGottliebMD @FoxNews

Point and additional point: It’s actually worse for us if the virus grew outside the lab.

While we are fairly sure we know the host animal, we have no fucking clue what the intermediate (jump from) host animal was that gave humans covid.

That’s really bad because it may be happening again right now.

If we know the full life cycle of the virus, we can put in measures to make sure it doesn’t develop again.

If say, for whatever reason, the virus is traced to the lab.

That lab is going to have data we do not have. Data that we need to trace the evolution of this virus. Data that could help us prevent the next corona-virus pandemic.

That’s why Biden is looking deeper into this, it’s not to lay blame as the media makes it seem. It’s about finding out how fucked we may still be.

In summation: #COVID19 is not man made. It is ok if it leaked from the lab, maybe better than ok. We are not looking to lay blame here, we are looking to help advance our safety.
