Was there evidence supporting the lab-leak “theory” at the time? I think there was not. And yet, Fox News was harping on this hypothesis, Trump was calling Covid the “Kung Flu”, and racists were hate-criming Asian Americans in the streets. There is a reason we were saying just shut up about the lab leak at the time. (Admittedly, it might be true, but that doesn’t mean its proponents in 2020 were right.)
