The title should be "People with absolutely no knowledge of science decided the Covid-19 pandemic came from a lab leak".

Every article that used actual real scientists as a source stated it came from the Wuhan food market. I think I will go with that conclusion.

I guess this is the start another 4 years of ignoring science and quackpots decide what real facts are. A bit earlier than what I was expecting.

By 2029, no one in the rest of the world will believe anything coming out of the US.

Ignoring paid scientists isn't the same as ignoring science.


scientists should be homeless/work pro-bono? :)


no but what they "find out" is not necessarily true. The scientist badge shouldn't work like a priest badge that pretends to be the voice of God.


that is exactly right but you should listen to them more than Mary from Pennsylvania's opinions on "X"
