It's weird seeing people that were so skeptical about elements of the COVID narrative now unquestioningly accepting the US government telling them it leaked from a Chinese lab as if they would have no reason to lie about that.

The more likely explanation seems to me to be the one Ron Unz has been offering for the last couple of years: that COVID was released by the US Deep State to target the Chinese economy.
