But given the circumstances known at the time (eg, the Wuhan Institute was carrying out risky research on coronaviruses, lab leaks are a known hazard and do occur, a thorough investigation on SARS-CoV-2's origin hadn't even began, etc) there was no basis to label a lab leak a "conspiracy". It was a completely legitimate hypothesis. (1)

In May of 2020 there was no evidence for a laboratory origin. There was coincidence and supposition, but neither of those things are evidence.A lab leak is also not mutually exclusive with a natural origin. It's entirely possible for a completely natural virus being studied at WIV to have escaped containment. Many people seem to get in their head that lab leak must mean genetic manipulation of the virus, and that simply isn't true. While genetic manipulation of SARS-CoV-2 pretty much requires a lab leak origin, a natural virus could have spread in Wuhan either from a lab leak or from environmental crossover. (-2)

I think people would be well served by general skepticism towards the things academics are saying and writing. The institution has unfortunately been ideologically captured. Peer review, etc are simply ineffective mechanisms to generate truth.ย (9)

Caring about covid or even acknowledging its existence was hecking racist and sinophobic right up until February 15th 2020, after which point NOT caring about it immensely was somehow racist and sinophobic

Yup, though I think the switch was around March 15th.

It probably was (my memory is spotty and I was doing a LOT of hard drugs at the time), I was just going off of the stock market history graphs

Listen, did this happen? Maybe.
But if this coordinated effort to control the entire populace happened in bad faith, it was a one-time thing that will never happen again
