      When @aetiology @gorskon attack straw men & turn off tweet replies, it suggests they lack confidence in their convictions. The question is simple: Is a #lableak plausible? Or is it a “debunked” “conspiracy theory,” as it was described by the media in 2020?https://twitter.com/htown_Joe/status/1400598827015589890 …

      The #lableaktheory isn’t “becoming” a conspiracy theory. It was dismissed as such in 2020 and it’s making a comeback b/c (many say) it was rejected too quickly. But most such folks are not saying a #lableak is probable or even equally likely; they’re saying it’s plausible. /1 https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1400497291866279945 …

      I turned off replies--for perhaps the second time ever--because I just don't need the harassment over science from people who clearly don't understand the issues but were sent by trolls with large followings. How many death and rape comments do you get daily?

      Yep. It couldn’t *possibly* occur to Joe that someone might have valid reasons not to want to engage.

      I mean, 5k people can still respond. I'm sure not all of them agree with me, but they're probably less likely to wish me dead or in jail for thinking spillover is more likely than lab release.

      The most annoying #LabLeak advocates of all are the ones who *swear* they believe that #SARSCoV2 has a natural origin, but nonetheless insist we REALLY need to investigate lab origin because…reasons…and then act indignant and wounded when you point out how implausible it is.

      But, yeah. Even I can’t really understand. I might get the odd death threat every now and then, but I don’t endure the sorts of abuse and sexual threats that women like @aetiology routinely do.

      I’ve said it before and will say it again. I don’t know if I could handle social media if I were female or a person of color, given the abuse level they tolerate.

          Conspiracism is wrong whether or not it is plausible. This will be investigated and will take time. The cranks pushing it are engaged in puerile contrarianism, ideological goals or anti-Asian hate. Even if by some bizarre chance it turns out right, conspiracism is still wrong.
