Who are you talking to? No-one I speak to in Europe cares but some US media do, though. Some niche circles might in Europe, but then there are hobbyist for ever

Who are you talking to? No-one I speak to in Europe cares but some US media do, though. Some niche circles might in Europe, but then there are hobbyist for everything.
- mardifoufs 3y agohttps://pro.morningconsult.com/instant-intel/covid-19-lab-leak-theory-survey-data https://pro.morningconsult.com/instant-intel/covid-19-lab-le... There you go, France, the UK, Italy and Spain all have a higher proportion (or even a majority) of people believing in the lab leak theory than in the US. Germany is very close too.
- RandomLensman 3y agoNo-one cares (it's a non-topic) so not sure what a survey even means then (and the survey is 6 months old).
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoThe first rule of digging a hole is stop. But I’ll bite. You are saying that people in Europe over the last six month think that a lab leak is less likely now than they had? Hmm, hot take.
- RandomLensman 3y agoNo. I am saying I don't know what it means to ask people about something in a survey that isn't a topic of discussion, i.e., asking about things that people don't care about. There will be an opinion but that doesn't mean anyone cares about it or there is discussion about it.
- nvm0n2 3y agoI live in Europe. People do absolutely care, why would they not. Had lots of discussions about it here. What a weird argument this is anyway, proof by European? What is this?
- RandomLensman 3y agoLike on almost any topic, the majority of people doesn't care (and looking at media coverage, less so in the EU than in the US). If you force people via a survey to have a view on something like that the answers are not meaningful. Some hobbyists caring and going down rabbit holes just doesn't mean much as far as what actually happened is concerned.
