It’s been argued that the source of SARS-CoV-2 is ‘proximal’
But the zoonosis emergence hypothesis is hardly optimal
To whit, the phylogenetic evidence is bluntly paradoxical
A lab origin is causa sine qua non; wholly tautological
Ipso facto, a ‘proximal’ zoonosis is [in truth] mythological
Daszak’s ‘evidence’ is much like his ‘scientific consensus:’ apocryphal
We’re told that the truth of zoonosis is self-evident
I just didn’t realize stupidity was so prevalent
Perhaps your teabagging of the West wouldn’t seem so ridiculous
If your conflicts of interest weren’t obscenely conspicuous
Perhaps the debate wouldn’t be so tempestuous
If your support for China was less incestuous
