View submission: Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy Is Done. Powerful Conservatives Are Listening.
That’s not what that study said at all, actually (I’m assuming you meant https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04532-4[1]). They have found viruses that could be progenitors to SARS-CoV-2 in bats in Indochina, but everyone already thought that was likely the case (and bat coronaviruses were studied at the Wuhan lab). It doesn’t mean the lab wasn’t the source, and US agencies are split on whether it was or wasn’t from the lab. The lab origin hypothesis has gone from being discarded as unlikely back in 2020 and 2021 to being something educated professionals now disagree on. Both you and the person you replied to are up to it in your own sources of propaganda.

No, finding the zoonotic progenitor that readily attaches to human ACE2 receptors kiboshes the whole “gain of function” and “edited virus” and “this was Fauci’s doing” nonsense that most of the “lab leak” people also push.
I fully accept that—due to Chinese omissions and secrecy—we’ll never truly know if it came from the lab or not. But we do know to a pretty high degree of certainty from having the wild progenitors of the virus that it wasn’t something the Chinese created.

They DIDNT find that virus with a lab created cleavage sight though, did they
