Oh will likely see every reactionary and contrarian nutcase under the sun 

Look at 'em go!   Inanity reduction accomplished.

The actual black hole of pointless drivel on this thread reduced





Now go back to your job of licking OLB's boots like a good simp

The Intercept consulted 11 scientists who are virologists or work in adjacent fields and hold a range of views on both the ethics of gain-of-function research and the Covid-19 origins search. Seven said that the work appears to meet NIH’s criteria for gain-of-function research.

Yeah, I'll take that source with a HUGE grain of salt.

Every news organization other than Wikileaks is flawed and has done bad journalism. If someone posts an article from the New York Times, I'm not going to post "Hey, the NYT has been wrong before, therefore I just debunked your article." That's not how things work.

I’ll tell you what, IA. When there is a scientific consensus that overturns the current one, you might have something to say on the matter. Until then, you’re just pissing in the wind.

We have been over this. Your samples are too small to the point you're competing with the ICR for credibility. You can accuse me of arguing in bad faith all day it won't change that, And Brewer is totally right to cast doubt on the intercepts reporting.

But you see the lack of a shift will only prove it was a cover-up. This is the issue with fringe think. It can only be confirmed because everything is evidence for it. Kind of like religion.

Bret is on the best selling list now for latest book, so clearly people know him. The wokeists reject him now. The same goes for his brother, Eric Weinstein. He's being thrown under the bus for taking the new UFO information seriously. The same goes for Sam Harris. Sam is taking the new UFO information seriously, so that's going to make Sam a fraud to many. Dawkins? Supposedly now he's a fraud who hates transsexual people. Good thing Hitchens died when he did. If he was still around, Hitch would be public enemy number one to the wokeists. You either die a hero, or live to become a villain.

'The atheist community' doesn't really love anyone. We're not really a community and our affection, such as it may be, is as provisional as our consideration for a new hypothesis. It's fair to say we have a real community on this forum, predominantly of moderate skeptics. A pat on the back when you get something right, a WTF when you get something wrong. Being a hero today doesn't give you a permanent pass to screw up going foward. And screwing up today doesn't mean you won't get credit where it's due tomorrow.

Ah, so many normal people around.

I have a different lab leak theory about COVID

Maybe something about h2o2 has been posted before, maybe not. Should work splendidly with ivermectin.
