Wasn’t it also found in Spanish waste water as early as spring of that year
-
It was at least found in Italian waste water before the outbreak in Wuhan. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200620/Italye28099s-sewage-water-shows-SARS-CoV-2-present-prior-to-reported-outbreak-in-Wuhan.aspx
I never really bought the Fort Detrick theory, but the story of COVID originating in China always seemed awfully convenient for the West.
-
being honest this is the first I’m hearing of the fort detrick theory, could you give a run down please
yeah I don’t believe it started in china either
-
take the Chinese lab leak theory and sub in Ft. Detrick and that's about the whole of it as far as I'm aware (i.e. it is not really any more or less substantiated)
-
it's significantly funnier though
-
There is more circumstancial evidence, such as Ft. Dietrich having several facilities shut down for bio safety violations during that timeframe.

Ft detrick's wastewater sterilization equipment wasn't working for an entire year before it was shut down in August 2019

Safety concerns at a prominent military germ lab have led the government to shut down research involving dangerous microbes like the Ebola virus.
The problems date back to May 2018, when storms flooded and ruined a decades-old steam sterilization plant that the institute had been using to treat wastewater from its labs, Ms. Vander Linden said. The damage halted research for months, until the institute developed a new decontamination system using chemicals.
The new system required changes in certain procedures in the laboratories. During an inspection in June, the C.D.C. found that the new procedures were not being followed consistently. Inspectors also found mechanical problems with the chemical-based decontamination system, as well as leaks

Yeah that and the "vaping lung disease" that showed up (and was especially prevalent around ft detrick!) and then disappeared, plus the frequent anecdotes of people who were seriously fucking sick in 2019, is why I've believed the ft Detrick lab leak theory since i first heard it.
It's the most likely source imo. Like I really think it's a lot more likely for one of the most virulent diseases ever discovered to have leaked out of a biolab which literally studied coronaviruses than for it to have just appeared out of nowhere. And wow, here's a lab that worked on those where it could have just leaked in the wastewater for literally a year straight

did you read Russia's claims regarding US labs doing biological weapons testing in Ukraine?

I know one of the first detected cases in RI involved a guy who went to Ibiza and brought it back, but I don’t remember the exact timeframe.
