One possibility the paper cited was that some of the bat tissue made it out of the lab and into the wet market. Sounds like some underpaid lab worker was trying to make some money on the side by selling dead bats.

You really should read the paper. It doesn't prove anything.

The title is: The possible origins of 2019-nCoV coronavirus

I recommend this article:

It doesn't settle the issue, but it eliminates a lot of the possibilities.

According to the OP's headline, Tucker proved it was made in a lab using a paper he cited.

I simply pointed out that it did not. If you have a problem with the OP's claim, take it up with him.

I never made any claim about whether it was or not. I even wrote that the article I cited didn't settle the issue.

Your recommended article proves Tucker’s point. Everyone keeps answering a question that few are asking and responding to claims that few are making.

Your recommenced article claims the virus wasn’t made in a lab and occurred naturally. Tucker and the video do not claim that.

Your article does not address which species of bat it came from nor if it could have spread from a natural host in a lab that studies bat hosted viruses which is the claim in the video.

I didn't watch the video.

I was referring to the OP's headline, and was addressing that -- particularly the claim that the paper proved it was made in a lab.

If you have a problem with the OP's headline, take it up with him.

Fair enough on the misleading headline by the OP.

It may have not been fully proven by that paper. But it makes the possibility of it being natural, very unlikely.

This video really tells you how many people are in the pockets of the Chinese

The fact that it probably was released by accident isn't really surprising. China is lax on rules for pretty much everything and covers everything up. The American media and sjws rushing in and playing the race card is also not surprising.

I’m glad he’s saying it, but people were sharing this on Reddit and twitter 2 months ago. It always takes months for this stuff to make it to MSM.

This was has been totally expected. In 2007, a group in Hong Kong stated:

"Coronaviruses are well known to undergo genetic recombination (375), which may lead to new genotypes and outbreaks. The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb."
