      I'm not saying whether the lab leak theory is true. At this point NO ONE (yes, even the proponents of the zoonotic theory) can say that either theory is true. I'm just saying a cover up by an authoritarian government is PLAUSIBLE and not crazy because of past precedent.

      That part is true but when a whole set of fictions start to surround it by people unqualified to make such assertions and cognitively unqualified to separate fact from fiction, that's a problem.

      That's all I was saying. Saying there was a potential cover up by an authoritarian government (with a whole lot of motive and past precedent) is not a crazy thing to say.

      So why you believe that US researchers conspired with the Chinese govt to cover up the virus. What evidence do you have of that?

      It's right there in the original post you're arguing against.

      Your argument clearly suggests that because there's precedence for China to cover something up, that means the rest of the CT must be true.

      I never said anything to be true. I said no one knows anything at this point. I just said that an authoritarian government doing a cover up is not a crazy thing to say. Especially given their history and cover up of the outbreak.

      And I agreed with you on that. But the rest of it is unproven. We can't assume it's a lab leak just because there was a coverup.

      Precisely. ANY nation would act hinky and uncooperative if other countries accusing them of, through incompetence or malice, causing a global catastrophe demanded to investigate. That the Chinese are less than cooperative is not in an of itself evidence for #LabLeak.

          Right. I agree with you on that. However, #lableak was treated as crazy instead of plausible for a full year. At this point there's no direct evidence for either the lab leak or natural origins theory.
