Remember when telling people that covid escaped from a laboratory was considered Extremely Dangerous to Our Democracy and should be censored? And then youtube deleted every single video that posted that theory. I remember.
All these people seeking to censor fall into this category.
Can someone explain the upside to me?
And a personal level, I never said the lab leak theory was impossible. I simply figured it was a racist dog whistle because Fox News was the one parroting it. Furthermore, focusing on the "suspicious origin" of the "wuhan flu" while broadly ignoring public health advice diminished the credibility of those talking about it.
All partial-evidences and clues point to lab leak, including post covid coincidences that look like cover-up attempts.
But no definitive proof exists and china will never admit it. so whats the point?
But the big problem was that funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology came from the good old U.S. - from Dr Fauci-sponsored EcoHealth alliance. NIH awarded EcoHealth Alliance - who were contracted with the Wuhan Institute of Virology - three grants between 2014-2020 to especially study bat coronaviruses.
So, the original idea was to fully cover up the US sponsorship and there was a LOT of hush up and be silent around the matter. The U.S. does not want to be held responsible after all.

It’s so wild to me that we’re here as a society.

The lack of understanding and nuance in approaching topics like this is orders of magnitude more harmful than the mistakes that were made.
