Puts so called climate change into the irrelevance it is as a global necessity.

Actually, there are potential strong links between the rise of a potential pandemic style virus and climate change, as well as an increase in potential deadly bacterial or fungal infections.

Basically the assertion is that changes in micro-climate alter the behaviour and range of animals, which changes the overlap between wild animals, livestock and humans, and as such the mix of contagions intermingling between species will change. Given enough exposure zoonosis is likely. A real world example might be the Crown of Thorns Starfish spreading widely and invading the Great Barrier Reef and now heading further and further south.

Also the change in micro-climate allows some virus, bacteria and fungi to persist longer in environments from which they would have been almost foreign in the past!

On the Lab Leak / Gain of Function hypothesis it looks to be dead and buried now, the latest research identifies a specific Wuhan Wet Market Wild Meat trader as the first case, even so China's protectionism or indifference over the trillion dollar wild meat trade is a massive contributing factor.

Finally, the WHO warned the global governments about this new variant regardless of where it comes from, if we aren't all safe and protected then none of us are safe.

I don't see any point in Gilding a Lily on this, but celebrate your freedoms while you can as it's likely not going to last!
