“SARS-CoV-2 is a natural virus that found its way into humans through mundane contact with infected wildlife that went on to cause the most consequential pandemic for over a century. While it is scholarly to entertain alter-native hypotheses, particularly when evidence is scarce, these alternative hypotheses have been implausible for a long time and have only become more-so with increasing scrutiny. Those who eagerly peddle suggestions of laboratory involvement have consistently failed to present credible arguments to support their positions.” —Onisillos Sekkides, editor-in-chief, The Lancet Microbe https://tinyurl.com/4b2tc2er

We must somehow choose between that article, sourced from Daily Caller News Foundation, and The Lancet and the rest of scientific research. For me, it's not really hard to know.

The thing with conspiracy theorists is that they think the responsiblity is on other people to prove them wrong, and not on themselves to prove their bullshit right. And reaches a point where even if someone proves them wrong, it's just 'woke' propaganda from George Soros transmitted by Jewish space lazers.
