> [E]ven if Covid did lab leak, that doesn’t lend any credibility what-so-ever to the rest of the lab-leak conspiracists who claim that the vaccine is just a 5g killbot.
No one operating in good faith is conflating these ideas.

I didn’t declare that people operating in good faith were claiming this. Rather, I explicitly discussed conspiracists, who are notoriously contrarian and demonstrably not operating in reality, let alone “good faith”.
The lab-leak hypothesis itself originates from the conspiracy that covid was a virus to get people to inject themselves with a culling weapon. Hence why people who readily accept lab leak also tend to be unvaccinated q bots.
I would like to see data on how many believe the 5g conspiracies, though. I have a cousin, a former nurse (fired for refusing to vaccinate) who absolutely does believe this and shares her opinion on it constantly. She also thinks the vaccines have killed more people than the covid virus, and has a pretty large social media following / echo chamber of evangelicals around this.
