What bothered me most about this was that there was very little consideration or toleration for anyone suggesting it may have been a lab leak, could have been a lab leak, and hey let's really look at this lab leak theory so we don't just dismiss it out of hand due to media manipulation, and politics. America let politics dictate its response to COVID and in doing so let China off the hook. One hopes we don't make the same mistake in the future.
- happytoexplain 5y ago>there was very little consideration or toleration for anyone suggesting it may have been a lab leak This wasn't my observation. There was a lot of championing of the theory motivated by politics or xenophobia, a lot of backlash against that attitude, and a little reasonable hypothesizing suggesting a lab leak. Of the three, the last was by necessity least common because there was so little evidence. That may create a false impression that the "lab leak" voice was oppressed, when what you're actually seeing is the result of the high levels of ideological pollution in the "lab leak" voice itself.
