> A conspiracy theorist is someone who brings up possibilities that are extremely unlikely to be true. That would fit your senator to a tee. He’s not backing any of this up with actual evidence, he’s just bringing up scary possibilities. We don’t need that kind of fearful reaction in a public health crisis. What do you mean by “we don’t need...”? Why do we not need it? The truth matters, and if it did have origins in a lab (accidental or not, engineered or not), then bringing those responsible to justice matters. Thousands will have died by the time this is over. Furthermore, such speculation doesn’t meaningfully change the management of the public health crisis. I feel like the fear of misinformation is more overblown than speculation about the origins of the virus.
