There is still no evidence whatsoever for the natural origins conspiracy theory (while the case for lab leaks is obvious and approaching overwhelming) and half of the English speaking world now believes it is the most likely explanation because of this kind of drivel. Are we all truly so bored of reality?

It’s one of the truly irritating mass delusions of the era and of course it’s on here, tracked in through mainstream news’ private pigsty.

What has been asserted without evidence, can just as well be dismissed without evidence.

It is too political an issue for any definitive evidence to surface any time soon. Why would the most likely explanation be something worthy of dismissal?

We make lots of decisions in life based on likely explanation.
