DiracSpike, I went back and re-read the article you linked that re-started this discussion:

https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-...-box-at-wuhan/

He refers to Andersen, which is what I had posted last year, and explains why it is mostly likely not man made:
https://www.sciencenews.org/article/...nalysis-nature

Now, Wade is a science writer. Andersen is a Professor Department of Immunology and Microbiology. So just off the bat, I'm going to have to but more weight in Andersen, for obvious reasons. He sounds imminently more qualified to discuss the complexities:
https://www.scripps.edu/faculty/andersen/

So I'm not prepared to figure out who is correct. But this guy was:

https://medium.com/woodworkers-of-th...y-e68dafba96fd

Now, I'm not sure who he is, but he seems to know what he is talking about. Big big caveat there, though, since he is anonymous. So if you have another source from a person who identifies their qualifications, I'd be happy to read it. In the mean time, before you take the word of the science writer over the immunologist, I suggest reading through this post, as it seems to point out that Wade doesn't really understand most of what he is saying.
