    Well, wasn’t the lab leak hypothesis the going/accepted story during late 2019 and first few months of 2020? That’s all I was hearing. People often get locked-in to the first explanation they hear, racist or not. People are bad at updating their worldview, and unfortunately they often get initialized on some racist positions.

    Extending to pet eating, etc, is just virulently racist.

      Think about it for a second, even if it was a man made virus how would you go about proving that without somebody saying “yeah it was me and this is how I did it in immaculate detail”, and even if somebody did that there’s a decent chance they’re lying for the fame.
