I thought the lab conspiracy was just a fringe thing but now all the libs are peddling the Wuhan lab conspiracy and calling anyone who disagrees a right winger. What the fuck happened??

    they realized that it's an easy conspiracy theory for people to buy into. I don't necessarily think its false-it's totally possible-but like, the default explanation is it just came from nowhere and we all know how hard that is to buy for earth-altering events. you wanna think it came from somewhere more involved (and a lot of the time, it does).

    however, unlike fun and probably true conspiracies (some people knowing about 9/11, jfk, etc), for this one the sole source is gonna be the state department, which makes it so fucking boring to buy into.

    I also think they realized most people don't care about January 6th and wanted something better to latch onto.

        The lab leak allegation is such an incredibly convenient narrative for the West. Logically one would wonder why Chinese science would be the source, instead of animal agriculture which is by far the largest source of epidemics anyway.

        The lens of simplicity suggests that China didn't create it; however, they now know just how efficiently they could target and obstruct the US and EU if they were to let an actual lab strain escape.
