Episode notes
Ignoring Science
- Media reports on COVID-19 origins often focus on finding a smoking gun or whistleblower.
- They tend to ignore scientific evidence, which is a concerning trend.
Lab Leak Probability
- The lab leak theory has gained credibility, moving from a dismissed conspiracy theory to a 50-50 possibility.
- Bayesian statistics suggest the odds of a lab leak are over 100 to 1.
Circumstantial Evidence
- Evidence for a natural origin (zoonotic) of COVID-19 is purely circumstantial.
- The lack of evidence supporting a zoonotic origin strengthens the lab leak theory.
