You should've paid more attention when they were teaching you how to insult other kids in grade school.

You've shared your credentials before - let's just say I'm not very impressed.

This is "words have no meaning" territory. Sure, if you were a smart person that understands how basic things work and are interested understanding how things work and spent time scrutizing the study to figure out how to best interpret the data, then maybe, you'd be able to come up with an estimate with very wide error bars and be able to discuss your analysis intelligently. But instead, your disposition is more like:

No, *you* cannot come up with any meaningful estimate. And again, this line of thinking is simply not mentally healthy. You can't separate this conspiratorial thinking that consistently assigns bizarre motivations to other people and ridiculous causality to events from how you deal with people in your personal life. It's all connected, like the bad people in your theories.

Which is why it's a single data point in the following list
That list is just a data point in how far your delusional thinking can go. Did you put together that list yourself or are you just parroting another crazy person's ideas? Again, inquiring minds want to know.

Individually, every one of these points can be dismissed or explained away. Together, they provide overwhelming circumstantial evidence based on sheer probability that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from the Wuhan lab in 2018, and the first case in the United States was probably sometime in late 2018.
Again, words appear to have no meaning in your world.

I know anytime your boys Peter Daszak, Anthony Fauci, Florian Krammer, The Communist Party of China, the Democratic establishment, propaganda rags like The New York Times and The Washington Post, and "official", "fact-checking", disinformation sources are called out, it really, really makes you mad, but do try and stay calm and be more mature next time. Also, as a friendly suggestion, try and acquire some critical thinking skills and a bit of skepticism. I know it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, especially one who wants to believe that everything he knows about the world isn't subject to change, but there's at least some small hope you can learn something participating in these threads, although it seems to be a greater challenge for you than most.
I have no idea who Peter Daszak or Florian Krammer is. I'm a nerd who's not particularly politically active, so my general feeling is that most media outlets are far too politically motivated and insufficiently dedicated to reporting the truth. With that said, your content is far worse - even with all these rags out there, not a single one I've seen has standards so low that they'd accept your stuff. And no, I don't have a horse in this - I stopped by because I'm morbidly curious about other people's mental issues and find fascinating those situations where very basic cognitive faculties are faltering.
