If Big Bro tells you through an authorized channel (PBS, MSNBC, FOX, etc) that it looks like a chink weapon from their labs I'm sure you will have no problem finding all kinds of 'convincing evidence' for that. Until then, it's bat soup. Period.

Cable news in general does more second hand+ reporting than anything else, their only value to me is the occasional interview with someone noteworthy. And political debates I guess.

What I will do with the information from the article is to keep it in my mind and pattern-match the hypothesis against new observations as they come in. That's kind of an old-school method of analysis, but it worked pretty well since the age of enlightenement so I'll stick with it.

I think you should focus on figuring out who the most qualified people to speak about the virus are, and then see what they have to say directly without giving in to any click bait headlines claiming to have the answer to the question you were wondering about.

BTW, .ca is for 'cananda'. Globalresearch.ca is not 'Chinese infowars'. China (mainland) is .cn. Globalresearch.ca (http://Globalresearch.ca) is headed by some Canadian professor and they have been pretty focused on 'anti-globalization' for a long long time now. Probably since you were still shitting soft. I can understand how that might look 'anti-western' to people operating at a fairly simplistic level.

He claims to be a Canadian professor that lives in Shanghai and works for a Chinese University. There isn't much about him that can be independently verified, but all of his articles get a ton of traffic and reposts across all the big conspiracy blogs.
