1. Animals are used in pathogen testing
2. Mutation of pathogenic viruses can be accelerated in labs using animals
3. Monitoring these mutations, traits resulting from mutation can be selected for and further mutated
4. This process is identical to the natural process of mutation, only controlled by selection
5. Even if the virus was 100% naturally occurring, there is no reason it couldn't have been collected and purposely distributed
Which one of those are not facts Nutilduuuuh?
4 isn't a fact. Controlling something for selection doesn't make it a "natural process" by virtue of the fact that the selection is being controlled. They are in no way identical processes.
5 isn't a fact either, its conjecture.
You're free to continue believing in your conspiracy unfettered. I'd just like to remind everybody here that its backed by zero evidence.
That is why I said "only controlled by selection", specifically to make that distinction. The fact is this could be done in a way to make it impossible to know for sure if it was done in a lab or done in nature.
So your argument is naturally occurring viruses can not be sampled, cultured, and then intentionally released? What?
