I love the way that there is a 100% overlap of (a) people who are sure it was a leak from a bioweapons lab, and (b) the people who think everyone is overreacting to the virus

So you believe: (a) the virus leaked from a lab, and (b) lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates were totally warranted as response to the virus.

I think the evidence strongly supports the lab leak theory and that the response to the virus was reasonable, considering how dangerous it was. We still don’t understand the full effects of long covid or how it’s mutations could continue to be a problem.

All those things may not have been as effective as hoped and I think vaccine mandates are authoritarian and do more harm than good. But I got the vax, despite concerns over it.

Those concerns aren’t based on any conspiracy, just the fact that the US has a piss-poor history of allowing companies to use known toxic materials in their products. I got it anyway because I felt the benefits to all outweighed my personal risk.

No, actually there’s not. The people who are most read up on the lab origin hypothesis seem to mostly be in support of a strong response to the virus.
