      If it turns out that the coronavirus did escape from a lab in Wuhan, Twitter is going to owe ZeroHedge an apology for automatically flagging every link to their site. In fact they probably already do.pic.twitter.com/BIfpOl3RPP

          Can't read that (they block EU/UK because GDPR, and I'm allergic to adware). The "bioweapon" theory reeks of Sinophobic agitprop: who releases a bioweapon without first developing tests, vaccines, and resilient infrastructure?

          The left hand doesn’t know which foot the right hand is shooting theory. Cockup is so much easier to organise than conspiracy. A fact most conspiracy theorists fail to grasp.
