"People do, on occasion, conspire. There are many theories. Some theories that appear to explain observed phemomena are plausible and supported by evidence. Some imaginative theories are not only unsupported by the evidence, but are implausible to the point of absurdity. If you regularly believe the latter kinds of theories, and further believe they involve a conspiracy, then you are indeed a conspiracy theorist and potentially you're a delusional idiot unwilling or unable to think critically and fairly assess the whole of the evidence."

1. If SARS-CoV-2 is a bioweapon, it's a pathetic one. Far better choices existed.

2. The best available evidence is in no way compatible with the bioweapon theory, it's compatible with zoonotic origin, which is consist with past outbreaks (SARS in 2002, MERS in 2012, Zika, Ebola, West Nile, etc.).

Go do some research to learn why the lab leak theory is simply not substantiated by the genomic evidence, even if you believe the preposterous conspiracy theory idea that the Wuhan lab was a gain of function bioweapon facility. 🤨

Anyone who wants a serious discussion can read this paper about the origin of SARS-CoV-2 and the genomic evidence, and respond.
