Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, is the problem.

Animal to human transmission is a thing that exists and is known. Much less extraordinary, much more mundane, but much more plausible.

Until there is extraordinary proof of your claim, and not just 'I feel it' type of arguments, I will steadfastly believe it started from a bat, as originally claimed.

If you have proof of your claim, and I have missed it, please provide it. I would appreciate it.

You speak on the virus as if you have expertise, or have studied the subject. Yet I suspect you, and so many posters here, are mere podcast listeners. The arrogance is almost a virus in spirit.

No, I don't speak as if I have expertise. I speak as someone who has been alive to experience various diseases that started from animals.

I'm not being arrogant, and I don't understand your attitude. You are making an absolutely extraordinary claim. This absolutely requires extraordinary proof.

Again, I would be really excited to read about any proof you have of your claims. Please link to something, I would appreciate it.
