These are the two opposing origins theories:
- zoonosis
- a laboratory leak/accident

Do you want me to settle the SARS origins debate in just one tweet?

The former US President famously made these tweets:

- this SARS virus is "NOVEL"

and

- this SARS virus leaked from a lab in China.

Only one of those statements can be true.

The Liar and the Truth Teller is a classic logic puzzle which can be applied here as a "lie detector" system.

There are 2 guards & 2 doors. One door leads to freedom & the other to death. One guard always lies, the other always tells the truth. They know who they are. They know where the two doors go. You may ask one yes or no question. What do you ask to determine who is lying?

The solution requires understanding that the tweeting dotard was lying in both statements.

If a virus sits in a test tube for 17 years and either has one intermediary animal host in a wet market before infecting a human host
OR if there's a laboratory accident that results in direct human infection ...
then -> SARS-2019 is not novel.

The @WHO purposefully ever avoids ever using the word "novel". What's ironic about the @WHO naming is they blame "not wanting to cause panic in China" - but all of the Chinese media has always referred to "crown virus" - same as back in 2003.

@WHO Even ICTV, who are more at arm's length and less likely to be politically influenced by tweet attacks never refer to SARS-2019 as "novel".

@WHO This "mass distraction lightning rod origins debate" will never have an answer without "patient zero" but it's the gift that keeps on giving as the US ramps down its surveillance of new mutations.

@WHO Years from now, we might eventually discover Dr. Anthony Fauci never actually authorized to share with China two significant viruses; ebola and SARS. China had to use spies to steal them from @angie_rasmussen lab in July of 2019 (along with Canada's newly created Ebola vaccine).

@WHO @angie_rasmussen Do You want an original "origins" theory?
One of our most knowledgeable SARS researchers had once proposed SARS evolved from MERS co-infection of an HIV patient. Fully blown AIDS prevents MERS death during the acute phase and the virus doesn't clear.

@WHO The more discerning viral evolutionary experts are sitting there realizing, the HIV protein similarities in the debunked study that everyone is pushing as evidence of "lab-created" are in fact accurate. But those HIV adaptations were there too in SARS-2003.

@WHO The bottom line on this issue is we should be more focused on the origins of Omikron and #XBB15

But y'all just keep calling the disease #COVID19 instead of #SARS. There were no #LongCOVID patients, we called them SARS Survivors.
