I'm not a fan of lab leak, but I don't really care.
What get's me is I'd support serious action against china because if its a lab leak they need to own that, and if it's from shitty food supply chain they need to own that too.
Also they're a shitty dictatorship, they're aggressive, they're genocidal etc.
People seem very enthusiastic to blame china for a lab leak, but have no enthusiasm to blame them for other mechanisms or to convert that blame into supporting action. It's a weird thing for my brain and I share this more as sharing my confusion to see if anyone else feels the same way.
I think you did a very nice job breaking down the many many uncertainties here btw.
- mike00632 4y agoThat is exactly how this conspiracy theory is being employed. China is being punished because of a made-up story that is politically advantageous to spread. This is similar to Russia saying that Ukraine is infested with Nazis.
