Reddit commenter on a priori probability and COVID-19 origins evidence
There's coincidences on both sides. All of the first cases were market linked. The WIV was a half hour away from the market. So, under a lab leak scenario, you have to explain why, of all the places this could have leaked to, it just so happened to leak to a place that is a priori likely to be the source of a zoonotic infection and nowhere else.AI Verified (Feb 3, 2024)
