The whole "lab leak" thing was one of those conspiracies that got you censored on facebook, reddit and many other sites.

Three years later, it's becoming a mainstream discussion and it became a realistic possibility.



So this list is perfectly sane then I suppose, it’s as simple as that. I think the reason so many people like this stuff is they get to pretend they’re smarter than everyone and have the real information. You see, they did the research. They are big brained and everyone else is too stupid to understand. A convenient fit for a “smartest person in the room” fantasy. Authors like this provide fuel for that fantasy.


So what? Anything bad happens, people have many theories that go against the official narrative, from quite possible, to absolute idiocracies, from "Epstein didn't hang himself" to flat-earthers, from usa involvement in iran coup to "bush did 9/11"...

Somehow we have netflix documentaries about flat earthers (even if making fun about them), discovery channel has "documentaries" about ancient aliens, mermaids, ghosts, etc., but a "lab leak theory" has to be censored everywhere.
