what are your thoughts on how the differences in the selection pressure applied to both naturally-occurring and forced interaction would impact the fitness landscape for the RBD?
Trey, that was posted for information.
You can stop trying to big dick it around here, and stick to attempting to tell us that Communist Control States have trouble covering things up.
I gotta swing something around when all the little dicks try to flex.
You still seem very upset that I suggested that there is an upper limit to how much the Chinese gov't can lie about their death totals. Just how many dead bodies do you think the CCP can hide? 200 million? 20 million? 2 million? 200,000? Remember, we saw Iran's mass graves from space when they only had 1400 deaths.
LOL, trying to flex? Pointing out a really stupid statement is not trying to flex. Now you're just flinging numbers at the wall. Nobody believes China's death toll numbers, except you apparently.
the flex comment was about you posting your own conclusion (i.e. the gain of function research at WIV) after reading the abstract for that pre-print without considering other, more likely explanations. i admit, you're very intellectually limited there because you can't even fathom what other explanations exist. your list of unknown unknowns is hilariously long.
with regards to the death totals, i think you should really look up my original post again. i said that china is definitely lying and underreporting their death totals. That being said, I had heard people (not on goEMAW) suggest that China could have as many as 20 million deaths from CoVID-19, and I said that I thought that was impossible. I don't think a single gov't on the planet could successfully hide 20 million dead bodies. But apparently you do. So, I'd like for you to tell me how many dead bodies YOU (Dax) think the Chinese gov't could successfully hide.
