      The only way this is "jump[ing] to the most terrifying conclusion today" is if you assume Heer is correct in accusing those talking about a lab-leak as **really** secretly meaning the intentional bioweapon scenario.https://twitter.com/DavidKlion/status/1402471899268059136 …

      I've been hesitant to wade into "lab leak" because I truly know nothing about virology, but as @HeerJeet notes, the pundits most eager to jump to the most terrifying conclusion today are the exact ones who jumped to the most terrifying conclusion in 2003. https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/contra-the-covid-contrarians … pic.twitter.com/QsorZjmmo9

      39% of Republicans believe not just intentional bioweapon but intentional release of bioweapon. Where did they get the idea?

          39% of Republicans probably believe that Hillary Clinton dines on children baked in special Globalist Sauce after raping them in a pizza restaurant basement

          I feel no need to explain what lots of GOPers believe - it's mind-boggling to me some of the stuff they have fallen for. But I'd argue the reverse happened in mainstream circles: conflating the bioweapon story w/ lab leak caused the lab leak story to get glossed over last spring.

          although come to think of it, if I had to guess, most GOPers aren't getting their ideas from Yglesias, Jonathan Chait, Glenn Greenwald and Andrew Sullivan

          You think they got that from Yglesias? Seems like a stretch. 🤷🏻‍♂️
