Wasn’t it also found in Spanish waste water as early as spring of that year
I know one of the first detected cases in RI involved a guy who went to Ibiza and brought it back, but I don’t remember the exact timeframe.
It was at least found in Italian waste water before the outbreak in Wuhan. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200620/Italye28099s-sewage-water-shows-SARS-CoV-2-present-prior-to-reported-outbreak-in-Wuhan.aspx
I never really bought the Fort Detrick theory, but the story of COVID originating in China always seemed awfully convenient for the West.
being honest this is the first I’m hearing of the fort detrick theory, could you give a run down please
yeah I don’t believe it started in china either
take the Chinese lab leak theory and sub in Ft. Detrick and that's about the whole of it as far as I'm aware (i.e. it is not really any more or less substantiated)
There is more circumstancial evidence, such as Ft. Dietrich having several facilities shut down for bio safety violations during that timeframe.
it's significantly funnier though
Ft detrick's wastewater sterilization equipment wasn't working for an entire year before it was shut down in August 2019
Never heard that and uhh
Yeah that and the "vaping lung disease" that showed up (and was especially prevalent around ft detrick!) and then disappeared, plus the frequent anecdotes of people who were seriously fucking sick in 2019, is why I've believed the ft Detrick lab leak theory since i first heard it.
It's the most likely source imo. Like I really think it's a lot more likely for one of the most virulent diseases ever discovered to have leaked out of a biolab which literally studied coronaviruses than for it to have just appeared out of nowhere. And wow, here's a lab that worked on those where it could have just leaked in the wastewater for literally a year straight
did you read Russia's claims regarding US labs doing biological weapons testing in Ukraine?
