According to the intelligence community, multiple people working at the lab were hospitalized with covid-like symptoms. Even Dr. Fauci has now changed his tune and has done a complete 180 and is finally publicly admitting that the lab leak hypothesis should be taken seriously.
Vindication. This is why I don't care that people call me a conspiracy theorist and try to shame me. Those people only have egg on their own face now. Scientific consensus was wrong and plagued with politics. Let this be a lesson for people here. Just because something is scientific consensus, that doesn't make it right.
And before anyone tries to say I'm still the conspiracy theorist because I believed without proof it came from the lab, like I expressed many times in the past, I have been agnostic about where the virus came from and I remain agnostic about where the virus came from until further information comes in. I just always took the lab leak hypothesis as a very serious possibility, and it does feel good to be vindicated about this, but at the same time, it's super sad to see how wrong the establishment, media, and scientific consensus were and how they got this so, so wrong. As a lover of science, it hurts me to see how scientific consensus can be shaped in part by politics.
People are investigating, but it is you who loves to jump to conclusions.
When it comes to mass diseases, they were always blamed on someone. Like the plague was blamed on Jews, and even AIDS was believed by many people that it was created in labs in the U.S.
Even if Coronavirus has a completely natural origin, there would still be people who would claim that it was created in some lab. So people, including you, should be very careful about making accusations.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
