Is anyone here doing that? They are simply saying the whole argument has gotten toxic and pointing out that the rhetoric is fuelling hate crimes. No one is against investigating the origins, quite the opposite really.
> For instance, a neuroscientist belonging to a group that claims to independently investigate COVID-19 tweeted that the letter is a diluted version of ideas his group posted online last year. The same week, on Twitter, the neuroscientist also lashed out at Rasmussen, who has tried to explain studies suggesting a natural origin of SARS-CoV-2 to the public. He called her fat, and then posted a derogatory comment about her sexual anatomy. Rasmussen says, “This debate has moved so far from the evidence that I don’t know if we can dial it back.”

- smaryjerry 5y agoThe article is doing exactly that. The biggest theory now is not a lab leak theory but simply that the virus was created in a lab. Any connection to a lab leak is some logical conclusions after finding out it a lab is the most likely source. Tensions always get high for a few days after new information is found and then those tensions fade away. Looking to Twitter for your scientific research and a healthy debate is like going to the bathroom to learn how to cook food. It’s simply not equipped to help further a debate, it mostly only lets people post what they believe themselves. We can’t judge a theory by its supporters. We all understand the mean guys in movies are always the ones wrong but in the real world you always get mean guys on the right and wrong side, and they are easy to find on social media websites but that doesn’t interfere with actual research, not that there aren’t mean researchers as well.
