    1. If you read the right, This is every obviously the goal: lab leak theory will vindicate Trump and discredit Fauci. So it's crucial to distinguish between scientific debate about lab theory & political uses of that debate.https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1402439802109120514 …

        2. I think it's crucial to separate out lab leak as a legitimate (if unlikely) theory of covid & lab leak as a stalking horse for other, unsupported, goals (bioweapons theory & Trump vindication). Unfortunately, centrist contrarians have muddied issues:https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/contra-the-covid-contrarians?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

        We’ll if there’s anything we can count on the American polity to do, it’s to make important distinctions instead of falling for facile rhetorical traps!

        How will it do either of those things? Then Trump downplayed and ignored a lab leak virus just the same as he did a natural virus. The response would have been sub-par either way

        The lies and conspiracies don’t need to fit together in any logical way. Contradictions is what makes them true.

        The notion that the origin of the virus somehow absolves DJT of the appalling multitude of missteps that lead to nearly a million Americans dying isn't just absurd, it's fucking beyond idiotic.

        Dope, so glad we had weeks of naval-gazing by 'serious media thinkers' dissecting every perceived fallacy within Trumps shitstorm of lies to validate his intelligence. Great work by us.
