as someone who lost a life partner to conspiracy nonsense, the thing i always come back to is “what would you do differently if this was true?” like okay say it’s an engineered bioweapon. does that mean you should lick each other at bars & not get vaccinated? it’s almost all just irrelevant wanking

Good lord. The "conspiracy" was a bunch of emails among scientists saying "this is xenophobic bullshit and is confusing the public, we should rebut it" and they were right. The "lab leak" theory still requires far more leaps, inferences, and assumptions than the straightforward zoonotic theory.

the resurgence of tcm under mao zedong was pushed so heavily by the ccp in part because the government could not provide modern medicine to the whole population, especially in rural areas. turns out universal healthcare is very expensive & it’s cheaper to tell people to treat cancer with herbs

the other part is that most americans think “socialist” means “universal healthcare” and “welfare state” so obviously communist china would have those, because americans mostly don’t consider it possible for other places to have different politics than the united states, the center of the universe
