Remember how ok conservatives were about the parts of covid you could be racist about? Yeah they’re more or less going to do that but just those parts and probably unrelated to a virus.
A lot of people blamed Asians conceptually for Covid, everything from saying it came from eating dogs to the idea of the Chinese government making it on purpose.
Well, wasn’t the lab leak hypothesis the going/accepted story during late 2019 and first few months of 2020? That’s all I was hearing. People often get locked-in to the first explanation they hear, racist or not. People are bad at updating their worldview, and unfortunately they often get initialized on some racist positions.
Extending to pet eating, etc, is just virulently racist.
Think about it for a second, even if it was a man made virus how would you go about proving that without somebody saying “yeah it was me and this is how I did it in immaculate detail”, and even if somebody did that there’s a decent chance they’re lying for the fame.

And the parts that inconvenienced them.
If NY was locked down with refrigerator trailers full of the dead, that’s fine. If Dallas has the same, fuckit, we’re going to Applebee’s.
There’s a serious level of chauvinism to their ideological club.
Curious to know what you mean here.
What parts of a virus could they find to be racist about?

I read that there would be genetic markers of a manmade virus, and that this virus’s RNA matched a natural evolution.
Every action leaves some sort of trace.
well then there’s stuff like this that scratch my head link
