what conspiracy theorist? who are you talking about? name them.This email was in the letter that congress sent to the secy of health. This one scientist (Mike Farzan) talking to Fauci and two other scientists. He concludes that it 60 - 40 that spike protein was played with in the Wu-Han lab.
you do know that the US intel community from the beginning said the factors favored a lab not a wet market which by the way was shown to not have sold any suspected animal sources such as bats and pangolings for two years prior to the outbreak?
and of course China wiped the market off he face of the planet so you'll just have to take their word for it, right???
who is your conspiracy theorist? Rand Paul? Paul exposed Fauci for funding gain of function research at the Wuhan Virology Lab.
where did the death virus emerge from? Wuhan. butt you keep believing it came from a wet market.

human coronaviruses)
3. He is bothered by the furin site and has a hard time explain that as
an event outside the lab (though, there are possible ways in nature,
but highly unlikely)
4. Instead of directed engineering, changes in the RBD and acquisition
of the furin site would be highly compatible with the idea of
continued passage of virus in tissue culture
5. Acquisition of the furin site would likely destabilize the virus but
would make it disseminate to new tissues.
So, given above, a likely explanation could be something as simple
as passage SARS-live CoVs in tissue culture on human cell lines
(under BSL-2) for an extended period of time, accidently creating a
virus that would be primed for rapid transmission between humans
via gain of furin site (from tissue culture) and adaption to human
ACE2 receptor via repeated passage.
…So, I think it becomes a question of how do you put all this
together, whether you believe in this series of coincidences, what
you know of the lab in Wuhan, how much could be in nature –
accidental release or natural event? I am 70:30 or 60:40.
You need to read the fine print Waco.
