The Coronavirus Thread
Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Are they going to trot out the old 'pangolin amplifier' now?
Oops, thought this was the conspiracy theory thread. It's hard to tell them apart sometimes

According to this the virus could not have escaped from a lab because scientists would not have chosen a sequence computers say is unlikely to work, therefore it must have evolved.

...uh, scientists use evolution in the lab.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
They even call it a myth rather than a possibility.
A myth, already!

It's not that I know science better, or that Mr. Weinstein does. It's that the attacks against his positions always rely on misrepresenting what he said, or attacking his character.Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 4:24 amhttps://www.livescience.com/coronavirus ... n-lab.html

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
He's probably wrong. But opposition to the lab origin is a bit hostile to say the least, especially given how ordinary it seemed to many scientists just a year ago.
Re: The Coronavirus Thread
That's really the only point of his I remember clearly - that opposition to it was WAY out of scale, and it wasn't ready to be taken off the table. He had other points he made, they sounded important and falsifiable, but they didn't catch my attention as much as the overreaction to it.Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 4:43 amHe's probably wrong.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
The opposition from real scientists to the lab origin hypothesis supported by podcast wannabes is not hostile, it's matter of fact, simply saying that expert analysis of the genetic make-up of the virus does not support a lab origin.Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 4:43 amHe's probably wrong.

Opposition to Bill Maher is, of course, hostile. As it should be...

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
The opposition is a matter of fact, or their conclusions are?
It's not fake scientists who treat the lab origin as a perfectly ordinary possibility btw.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
It is (or was) a possibility, but the consensus of professional virologists, based on analysing the genetics of the virus, is that a natural origin is much more likely. No one is dogmatically ruling out a lab origin, just saying that the evidence doesn't support it. Until new information comes to light, I am not going to indulge conspiracy theories of lab origins with doubtful, often racist motivations by any passing recognition.Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 5:21 amThe opposition is a matter of fact, or their conclusions are?

You really don't know who you are talking about, I can tell.
Where did you discover the racist element of his hypothesis?

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
It's not a conspiracy theory Jim, and your being unwilling to look into it is fine.
I'll keep being at least somewhat interested in the competing origin stories.
