Back in December 2020, NPR tried to debunk the lab leak hypothesis. I immediately suspected this was a false claim. How did I know? My first heuristic for spotting propaganda: Anytime I see a quote that uses the phrases "zero evidence", ‘“scientists say,” and “baseless,” I know it's propaganda.

Yeah, "zero evidence" - as if they even tried to find any.

A legit "zero evidence" claim is the "viruses don't exist" argument.

The original "isolate" evidence contained milk. MILK?

We've been deceive from day 1.
Something makes people sick, somehow.
It seems like it's sometimes contagious.

But if you don't actually identify and demonstrably isolate a cause of something, then it's conjecture.

You can't leak something from a lab, unless you know you have it. It's a PsyOp hoax.

If there was a "lab leak" then how did they eliminate "Covid" in China starting in May 2020 to summer 2021?

Trying to convince ppl "there's no virus" is a government inserted conspiracy. Just like trying to convince ppl there was no plane on 9/11. It's to make ppl discredit conspiracies altogether.

What do you mean by the virus contained milk? You got a link for that?

We can see bacteria, that makes ppl sick and is contagious too. Viruses can be imaged as well, like through TEM's.

China went on a heavy two month lockdown.

They like to come out swinging, calling the theory debunked and baseless before they even tell you what it is. Then they strawman the idea by getting the theory wrong, and proceed to debunk something that nobody actually believes. Then they declare victory, and case closed, without ever confronting an actual conspiracy theorist or having any meaningful debate. This is the behavior of a fed-up parent disciplining a naughty child, not the behavior of a responsible adult explaining facts to the public.

Dear CNN, I'm not your son, bitch.

There is zero evidence. Either the Chinese covered it up or it didn't originate from there.

What most people are saying is that the Chinese behaviour is suspicious but nothing concrete has been found

Problem is that China didn't want shills investigating them and making up fake reports.

There's enough evidence to show that there was a ton of foresight, planning and foreknowledge of COVID-19 (pretty much all from US factions).

If there was foreknowledge of COVID-19, then it was planted. If it was planted, then it couldn't be the CCP cause they wouldn't want to take the blame. So it was likely the country with all the foreknowledge and pre-planning that planted it.

Isn't convenient that it was spread in a wet market and that MSM initially all pointed to the bat theory and that pictures of Asians eating bats were spread all over social media? Gee, I wonder what they're trying to get the population to think. Isn't it also strange that MSM were starting to make a huge deal out of this starting from 7 cases...how did they know it would go from 7 cases to a global pandemic?

Because a Corana virus epidemic was expected since 2001. Corona viruses were being closely monitored since the Star's outbreak in the 2000's. They evolve quickly and can be dangerous to humans when they do. Thus most organisations in the world were expecting an outbreak especially from China. They just didn't expect it from Wuhan because Wuhan is outside the areas where bats live. Whether this means that the virus is due to an accident from a lab or naturally occurring due to the wild animal markets hasn't been proven either way. Even Wimbledon had insurance in the event of a coronavirus outbreak.

Because gooks aka Asians do eat bats. The Ebola virus came from Africans eating bats. Same thing can happen. Doesn't mean it came from a bat, but there is no evidence either for a lab leak or a natural source. But the Chinese acted suspiciously.

how did they know it would go from 7 cases to a global pandemic

Because everyone with knowledge of viruses knows that corona viruses are dangerous and outbreak is dangerous. You might not know this but many big media houses have people with medical and research knowledge on their teams.
