I tried googling the author's username and found this:

https://thedonald.win/p/4FWoXTT/so-why-are-we-being-whipped-...

"It escaped the Wuhan BL4 facility and was likely a bug/bio weapon Chinese were working on in that facility using our tax & trade deficit dollars"

Seems a reliable source!

EDIT: Also from the user's post history:

"I'm not an academic so fuck all that citation waste of time"

I'm surprised you didn't just call the author a racist or some other slander. If you wish to debunk his theory, by all means do so. Use research and make your points. Attacking his character and accusing him of a conspiracy theory is not very convincing to those of us who use critical thinking.

The top OP has zero sources and then says "fuck all those citation [sic]."

OP above you is merely revealing this non-reliability.

Top OP might be correct but zero sources makes me immediately question every single argument. Dude can't be bothered to name ONE SOURCE! One! A paper. A Person. An organization....anything. Nope! Nada. Zilch.

It seems that your problem is with the content of the article, not the lack of sources. Would you be objecting to the article if it said the drug was ineffective? Doubtful.

Yes, we would be doubting everything the article said when it was an argument cast by a lunatic spouting numerous other conspiracy theories like Covid-19 is a bioengineered virus that escaped a bioresearch lab.
