1/ Re-upping this thread on the origins of #COVID-19. It makes a compelling case for a possible lab escape.

Magnitudes more plausible that SARS-CoV-2 emerged from a lab in Wuhan (known to be lacking in safety protocols) than from a 100% natural zoonosis.

2/ How do the experts rationalize these facts surrounding SARS-CoV-2 origins?

3/ At what point will we hear a proper call for a true investigation into the suspicious inaccuracies and inconsistencies?

Some have, but more voices are needed!

4/ How do you reconcile these facts and still not call for release of data & information that is being withheld by the Wuhan Institute of Virology, EcoHealth Alliance, NIH, China, and high-impact journals?

5/ If these are the facts surrounding SARS-COV-2 origins, then in your revered opinion where this all leads to? Serious question…

6/ After a certain number of coincidences, it starts to look pretty damn suspicious. Evolution and undersampling just don't cut it anymore.

7/ In light of all evidence, why are scientists shying away from addressing the core issues of SARS-CoV-2 origins?

8/ Time for experts to *really* start addressing SARS-COV-2 origins 🙏
