We all forgot after we had daily 9/11 death totals from COVID for the better part of a year.

IF we coulda bombed someone about Covid we woulda.

We could have. Then maybe we wouldn't be in our predicament. Also, it would be weird to bomb yourself.

Turns out it almost certainly came from a lab In Wuhan China, that is barely even a conspiracy theory anymore just politically uncomfortable soooo, we could have if we wanted to and we didn't...

The problem with framing it as "it came from a lab in Wuhan", makes it sound like the likely explenation is that it was designed in a lab by scientists as a bioweapon. In reality, IF it came from a lab which isn't, and probably never will be proven, it would be as a containment failure by scientists researching the very natural and non-human-made virus.

While both of those scenarios can be summed up as "came from a lab", they are very very different, and idiots tend to belive the virus was a chinese made bioweapon, instead of a chinese accident without any intended mallice.

The problem was the many safety failures and the fact that it might not have been genetically engineered but released as a test that couldn't be tracked back to them.
