Reply to comment by simpkill in [OC] More Americans are believing COVID-19 originated from a lab in China. However, there is still no conclusive evidence to support one theory over another. The topic is highly politicizing both internally (US Political Parties) and externally (US-China relations). by Square_Tea4916

Unfortunately for that theory no, we do know

We have actual research on the ground from the actual wet market it spread from

COVID-19 was some magic mutant only a lab could make, look at every variant since, that's what natural evolution looks like, it spreads mutates, jumps species

That this is still rocket science to the public after three years it's freaking insane

But if the public wants to believe whatever conspiracy theory they want than what's the worse could happen again

Well I think what keeps people unsure is articles like this:

And conspiracy theories aren't a problem. The government does and has conspired to cover things up. I'm not saying that is happening here, but I can't blame anyone for not trusting the authorities.
