    If the government were honest and open about covid and the lab leak hypothesis and masking from the beginning, no one would lend credence to new outlandish conspiracies.

    can we uh… get some elaboration here on what exactly is meant by “honest and open about about covid and the lab leak hypothesis and masking”; as far as i’m aware governments were broadly, if anything, too conservative with their recommendations on how to handle COVID and masking and it’s ambiguous what you mean here if you’re alluding to that.

    as far as i’m aware there’s also nothing that privileges the lab leak hypothesis above any other explanation for COVID’s origin, except low-confidence speculation by some branches of the US government (who don’t all agree on it either).
