Paul, here’s a fwiw.
If it’s engineered or not, either way - a technology called CRISPR-Cas exists that would allow scientists to edit a virus genome in a manner that would be untraceable by other scientists. By untraceable I mean that any engineered or artificially designed virus could be indistinguishable from a naturally mutated virus.
This technology exists, it’s no conspiracy. Scientists saying they have no evidence of engineering (post CRISPR-Cas) doesn’t mean it wasn’t engineered- it just means they have no evidence of it - using CRISPR-Cas would leave no evidence.
This of course opens an unfortunate can of worms as far as shutting down tinfoil hat types goes. I’m not trying to convince you either way here (or anybody) - just trying to share some info on the possibilities and limitations in the present day of virus discovery/origins.
