well, I don't outright dismiss the manufactured virus angle if backed by evidence...it's the "rabies" angle I had not heard. I had a chat w/an alleged virologist on here at some point but can't find the convo, his take is there just wasn't DNA evidence of tweaking. FWIW: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/posts/5030474/
I get that. I looked into the dna markers stuff a while back and prevailing thought is that you can’t hide tweaking the dna of an organism. However, I also found that newer technology also claims you can alter some simple organisms and be undetectable. For me, it’s that respiratory disease is attacking the neurological system that makes all of this smell fishy. I can accept that Covid is a super transmissible disease but that also adds to the suspicion. Like i said, I’m sure I’m wrong. My brain says it’s a naturally occurring virus by all of the evidence by my gut says otherwise. Then there’s the whole lab leak or not aspect too.
My understanding is that many pulmonary diseases are cardiovascular in nature first, pulmonary second. I think that's how it ends up attacking the nervous system. I seem to recall some rare cases of heart & nerve damage from other pneumonias. Might need to see what other bat viruses have done (MERS, SARS)
Ive looked! Perhaps not hard enough but the closest I’ve seen a respiratory disease attacking neurological function is in causing a high enough fever that parts of the brain get damaged.
