For anyone who really cares about pursuit of truth or the scientific process (and how it tends to be ignored even by science institutions) this would actually be earth-shattering.
I guess for other people who don't care about those things it will be a footnote.
- alex_young 5y agoIt’s earth-shattering because of some coverup? I suppose that would in and of itself be quite a story, but my question was why would this accidental release through a lab, so far an unsubstantiated and not necessarily conspiracy linked event, be so important that one would state things like “someone else” funded a program that didn’t receive funding?
- rualca 5y ago> For anyone who really cares about pursuit of truth or the scientific process (and how it tends to be ignored even by science institutions) this would actually be earth-shattering. I wonder how much is this due to this noble pursuit of truth and the scientific process, and how much is due to having an axe to grind and desperately seeking any scapegoat to be sacrificed in the altar of self-righteousness. Even your justification reeks of "you're with us or against us" mob mentality.
- stathibus 5y agoI genuinely have no idea what you're talking about
- ahahahahah 5y agoWhy would it be "earth-shattering"? virus leaks from labs around the world are rather common.
- stathibus 5y agoBecause for many months the scientific community aggressively asserted it was not a lab leak and demonized anyone claiming otherwise.
