In your opinion, which of the following is the most likely explanation for Covid’s origin?

🧪 Lab-leak hypothesis (62%) – "Occam's Razor - the simplest explanation is that COVID was the result of gain-of-function research gone wrong, and the loose lab controls allowed it to escape to human carriers."

• "What are the chances that a coronavirus crossed over to humans in a city that houses a lab that also experiments with coronaviruses. It’s pretty clearly a lab leak."

"I believe there has been considerable evidence that this virus has been leaked from the lab in Wuhan. Though many viruses do jump from animal hosts to humans, such as Ebola and the avine flu, there seems to be to many coincidences aligning with COVID and this lab. We should be wary, though, as we move into the future of animal born viruses, because they seem to be making a resurgence once again."

• "It just seems logical to me that it came from the lab. I don't see it as a conspiracy--I believe it just happened and was probably an accident."

🦇 Natural transmission (23%) – "3 out of 4 new infectious diseases originate from animals. That's a tough stat to argue with. We already know that factory farms are breeding grounds for such diseases. I only hope we eventually learn from our mistakes."

• "Scientists have been warning for years that we were on the brink of a new rash of viral infections for which there would be no or little treatments or cure. I mean, since the 70s at least that I can recall. We ignored them. Now it's here."

📊 Other (15%) – "I know multiple people in the military field who confirmed that the virus was an intentional strategy (by China) to disrupt the USA (ultimately turning Americans against themselves). The truth couldn't be handled. Hence every virus originating from "animal to human" contact is always the excuse."

• "Honestly, it doesn't matter because it happened. We were severely underprepared despite warnings from epidemiologists and we still are! Epidemiologists are still warning that covid wasn't "the big one" they've been waiting for."
