I realize that any public calls for investigations related to China would be fraught and simply used as cover for imperial meddling, which is why I would tread carefully if I was an authority figure with any kind of broad public audience, and would probably avoid the world altogether.
I was speaking hypothetically/philosophically about the necessity for looking down all avenues. The reason I entertain these ideas personally is because I'm very curious about the virus. I'm a scientist, I can't help myself.
There's a difference between acknowledging the possibility that it came from a lab and asserting that as a fact. Probably the best way to do the former while countering the propaganda angle is to say that when you mean it might have come from a lab, you're talking about a U.S. lab.
Bonus points if you mention that incredulously, in the style of "well of course we're talking about a U.S. lab, we're naturally the ones most likely to do something this shitty."
Because the origin of the virus is still unknown, and learning the truth requires entertaining possibilities and investigating them.
You realize it's going to be the United States "intelligence community" doing this investigating right, like practically speaking

I agree, except because we don't yet know the truth, asserting that it came from a lab at this point is bold.

Yes, I love it! :sicko-speeeeen:
Did they say it was fact, or a possibility that we shouldn't poo poo (pig poo?)
Sounds like hysterics to me. Everything so far points to this being a spillover from an animal and animalistic in its entire origin.
Unless some credible source says otherwise I’m not going to worry about any other small possible point of origin.

I'm sorry, it was a rude comment. I apologize.
