Reply to comment by the_hack_is_back in On Facebook, Visual Misinfo Widespread. In the runup to the 2020 U.S. Presidential election visual misinformation was widespread across the platform, and that it was highly asymmetric across party lines, with right-leaning images five to eight times more likely to be misleading. by Wagamaga

It's important to distinguish between natural virus accidentally infecting a person vs an engineered virus, designed to kill people.

The right are still pushing the narrative that the virus was engineered in a lab specifically to kill people. Also that Fauci funded it.

No organization has concluded that that is realistic. The only conclusions being drawn are that there is a possibility, with a low confidence, that a natural virus being studied in a lab accidentally infected one of the scientists studying it.

Jon Stewart couldn't have said it more plainly for even you.

"You're telling me, the covid vaccine in Wuhan, didn't come from the Covid lab ... in Wuhan .. "

Hell even the Energy Dept. and Feds are admitting to it the last couple weeks. If you still believe that you weren't lied to and the people who called this out years ago who were silenced were not correct this whole time - then there's no helping you.

I'm looking for a transcript of Colbert's response. I haven't found it yet, but as I recall Colbert pointed out that it doesn't take a lab to cause venereal disease to spring out in Cancun during spring break. Even if the disease gets named after Cancun.

A lab leak is by definition either negligent or malicious. From there it's just speculation.
