I don’t have a problem calling out people


who said that the mere suggestion that covid resulted from a lab leak is a conspiracy theory, but I don’t think most people were doing that. Don’t bother googling to prove me wrong…. It’s a big world with a big internet and I’m sure you can find some fringe nuts doing that.

I think the “conspiracy theory” label applied to people who were suggesting it WAS a lab leak as a fact and that there was a giant coverup to suppress this news. And apparently this coverup involved every governmental and mainstream media company in the world. The world is it not just the US, and actual evidence of a lab leak — outside of the obvious circumstantial evidence of the biological lab in Wuhan — would be HUGE news. The idea that authorities and news outlets knew it was a lab leak and covered it up IS a silly conspiracy theory.

There’s also a diplomatic angle to the govt’s response on this. They’re obviously going to be careful about too strongly declaring it a lab leak — something that would imply more Chinese culpability than it arising naturally —without pretty strong evidence to draw that conclusion. And even today, we have disagreement between agencies, and even the DOE report which set off this thread, has “low confidence” in the lab leak conclusion.

And as far as my response to hooda… that’s just a function of him being a disingenuous troll with no interest in serious discussion on this board who is for some strange reason, incapable of ever admitting he was wrong even when presented with undeniable facts to show he was wrong (ie he still maintains he was right when he argued that roe v wade wouldn’t be overturned….. whisky, tango, foxtrot?!?!?)
