This feels like your personal form of masturbation.
Let me get this straight. You're on... an atheist forum.... asking why someone cares about what's true?
Do you really think you come across as a seeker of truth?
pfft...

Nope, you don't get it at all. BTW, truth is subjective (especially yours), I'll stick with facts. Where covid-19 originated is of little importance especially since we may never know. So the shit that you and others like you post is a distraction, not unlike masturbation.
I'll stick with talking about mitigating the damage now. There will be plenty of time to hash out who did what when where and why down the road, once the pandemic has abated.

You wouldn't know what was true if it crawled up to you and bit you in the face

Remember, you are the one claiming to know. I said I'm agnostic on the whole thing. You said the lab leak is as likely as aliens, so it sounds like you've got your mind made up just about.
What Brewer said is basically, "Ignorance is bliss. Stop asking questions. Stop bringing up reports. Stop looking for the truth. It's only been 2 years since the pandemic started afterall mate. Too soon to start asking questions. You know that it's customary to wait at least three years before you start asking questions. Learn the customs around here and get with the program. We need to focus on dealing with covid now. No one has ever managed to do 2 things at once. Looking for the origin and dealing with covid both at the same time are not possible, or something."

Actually it is important, if we are going to mitigate or stop similar pandemics, which could happen at any time. The scientists do want to know the origin.
Reading more about the WHO report, "lab leak" would require a full-scale coverup. It is possible, but not likely.

I didn't say scientists need to stop, but it does not matter if it was from a lab doing research. Maybe I didn't make that point clear. Escape from a lab has happened prior to covid-19. It's more important to identify the animal and any vectors.

Dewormer gets a new poster boy
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"

I think I might actually miss Joe Rogan. If nothing else, he has/had some interesting guests on his podcast.
