      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 …

          The problem is that other than one article in Vanity Fair, there's been little discussion of all the tremendous ways the previous administration mismanaged the pandemic.

          It’s largely irrelevant in evaluating the response to the pandemic. Almost entirely.

          You're kind of conflating defending what Cotton said with defending Cotton. The author is dead.

          This is the major little niggle with words you often see in the Trumpian game. Using "lab leak", when the Trump camp never talked about some innocent scientific accident that might merit some study (what "lab leak" actually is) they talked like it was a Chinese bioweapon

          Can we retire the use of “stalking horse” in these twitter threads? It’s no bueno.
