- 908B64B197 5y agoI wonder in who's best interest it was to dismiss these theories as racist.
- google234123 5y agoChina? This seems pretty obvious. The far left also enjoys calling things racist so they probably pushed it too.
- 908B64B197 5y agoI wonder if that's why the comment was downvoted so heavily and flagged.
- Judgmentality 5y agoAre you saying Trump was complicit in calling it the Chinese virus as part of their propaganda campaign? Sometimes things can just be explained by stupidity.
- tshaddox 5y agoWas the idea that we should inquire about the virus’ origin dismissed as such, or just the idea that there is already strong evidence of any particular origin story?

- ska 5y agoMost of what I recalling at the time doesn't match that description. It was more disparaged as pointless speculation mostly being used to fuel political finger pointing when people had far more important things to figure out. Sampling bias acknowledged.
- chasd00 5y agoIt reminds of how hostile people became when you merely questioned the effectiveness or need of the lockdowns last year. I think many academics and scientists are so emotionally invested in the side they took they will defend it no matter of the evidence.
