1. Direct Zoonotic Transmission (host to human): possible to likely
2. Introduction Through Intermediate Host Followed By Zoonotic Transmission: likely to very likely
3. Introduction Through The Cold/Food Chain: possible
4. Introduction Through A Laboratory Incident: extremely unlikely
Okay, why is the media right now being so racist by increasing the coverage of the lab leak hypothesis. Why is Facebook also allowing this racist hypothesis to spread across the globe? Doesn't this all go against what the WHO is saying above -- that a Laboratory Incident is highly unlikely and therefore this type of conspiracy theory shouldn't be allowed in polite conversation?
Here's my assumption on what the WHO is saying: if Cold/Food Chain and Laboratory Incident were the only two options, they'd give Cold/Food Chain a 99% probability and the Laboratory Incident just a 1% probability. Lined up against all the options, I would say the Laboratory Incident drops to just 0.2%. Why is the media paying so much attention to a hypothesis that has such a low probability? The fact that they're focusing on such an outcome proves how racist America is.
Why isn't the media paying more attention to the idea that this virus actually started in Norway and was exported over to Wuhan via their fish exports? Isn't this a perfect example of white privilege? The WHO is telling the world that it is more likely that Cold/Food chain is the cause of what happened in Wuhan versus a Laboratory Incident. And yet I'm not hearing the press clamoring for the WHO to take a taskforce to Norway to look into their fishing industry. In fact, we should all demand that the WHO send a taskforce led by Peter Daszak to Norway right now. I'm sure they'll find plenty of evidence that the virus started there.

We know that former President Trump was just being racist and trying to deflect blame when he put out the Laboratory Incident hypothesis. We know that President Biden shut down the investigation into this hypothesis for good reason. It is time to stand up and demand that we hold Norway's feet to the fire and have them admit that the virus started in their country!!!
