Easy to say that. But when you tear these claims down, they started with anything but factual or substantial.

1. COVID wasnt caused by 5G. Nor vice versa.

2. We've seen MERS, SARS, and other coronavirus diseases previously in the region. This isn't the only one, and wont be the last.

3. "Chinaman virus" is a point that comes from racism. It only highlights racist beliefs, and is no way any proof. (Why wasnt the "Spanish Flu" called "Kansas Kough" - it started on a Kansas military base?)

4. The most vehement supports of this conspiracy also loudly proclaim that masks don't work, and the vaccine is microchipped.

5. Masks work, of different efficacy depending on filter levels

6. No, the vaccine has no microchips.

And if you want to dig deeper, go watch the "Plandemic" video. That's an hour or so of conspiracy, including the elites infected the plebes to make more money.

When 1 conspiracy is chopped off, 2 take its place.

Constructing an extraordinarily elaborate strawman does not make your beating up of that strawman argument any more impressive. Plenty of reasonable people simply asked "isn't it possible a lab with a history of safety issues studying coronaviruses made a mistake" and were immediately hit with these sorts of disingenuous guilt by association arguments.
