‘Lab-origin’ and ‘engineered’ are not necessarily mutually exclusive.


Did you mean “inclusive”? I’d assume the average covid truther would think of lab-origin and engineered as causal if not identical.


A lab can accidentally leak a virus that was gathered from the wild, such that all of that virus' attributes, like how infectious it is and all that, are of natural origin.


I think you missed the point by a mile.


You're right; I hadn't noticed the "average covid truther would think".
