@Sam

Maybe what you were really looking for was not the presence of scientific evidence but the application of the Peaceful Science method so conscientiously carried out by Francis as seen below,

No, I am looking for scientific evidence of which these articles are examples:

The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was the early epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic | Science

The molecular epidemiology of multiple zoonotic origins of SARS-CoV-2 | Science

@Sam

it is not my claim.

OK, I see that now. If you learn the proper use of the “quote” function here, it will help avoid such errors.

So, to be clear, you just cut/pasted an article that seems to be no longer available on the internet, and you have no idea whether its claims are true and you are not prepared to defend them. Is that it?

@Sam

You are noting a dearth of scientific evidence for the claim made here,

@Sam

That theory, which until not long ago was identified with conspiracy theorists from the zany right, was censored for months by Facebook and Google. Recently, however, the wind started to blow from a different direction on this subject. In early May the science writer Nicholas Wade published an article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in which he argued that crucial evidence points to the Wuhan lab as the source of the virus. Later that month the Biden administration announced that it was investigating whether the coronavirus had leaked from the lab.

No, but perhaps I was unclear when I referred to “your rants here on the subject.” The subject to which I was referring was the question of the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. I have already given an example of what is generally considered to be scientific evidence on this forum (and in all other contexts in which science is discussed in an informed manner), so you should no longer be confused and uncertain on that subject.
