Pages of speculation, even a million of them, do not constitute evidence. You have been told this a million times. No live viruses were used.
The virus likely came from the Wuhan wet market, what evidence there is points to that as the source. Just like a wet market in Arkansas or Alabama started the Spanish Flu.
You need to read those 42 pages first -
then explain why the Chinese didn't allow a full WHO inspection?
What were they hiding?
Sure, but you've just admitted to there being no evidence, there was no inspection.
It looks sus, yes, and it's a possibility, yes, but evidence means you have proof, for which you don't.
42 pages of theories, speculation and opinion is not proof.
The burden of proof, and the definition of evidence, you can't simply change these things because you believe it.
I know that's been normalised in a post Trump era, but in reality it doesn't work that way.
At the same time, a lack of proof doesn't mean that it isn't a bioweapon either.
That's another mistake people make, a lack of proof doesn't automatically "prove" the opposing view. At the same time, if someone asks for proof of a claim, it doesn't mean they subscribe to the opposing view either, it just means they want proof in order to change their opinions on the matter.
These are some of the most basic concepts of reality that seem to be cast aside all to easy by those who push misinformation and conspiracies, claiming that they're true, who then get all butthurt when you call them out for falling victim to the conspiracy...
