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.
