If you recall at the time, the Left was pretty adamant that there was no way Covid was a lab leak, and instead a wet market.

They were pretty lock step on this. What was the rationale? It was bizarre.

Because that was the theory put forth by conservatives. Don't overthink it.

Because President Trump was the one advocating that it came from the lab.

Because Trump said the virus came from a Chinese lab, so they set out to disprove it.

Theyre children.

Because it wasn’t a leak. It was released on orders from the left.

Because American tax dollars helped fund the lab.

It isn’t rocket surgery

They did not want people speaking badly of their commie friends over in China who they conspired with to release it on us

Lab leak was pretty obvious from the beginning with just a little research into some of the lab's published papers. The left simply has an aversion to truth in any subject.

Because it means the talking head on tv was wrong. The talking head is never wrong and all ideas originate from him.

It was an attack on the US population in order to usher in mail in ballots, allowing the Dems to steal the 2020 election

Why did the Dims/Groomers believe paper and cloth masks stopped the spread of COVID19?

Why did the Dims/Groomers believe the MRNA Juice not only prevented the infection of COVID19 but also believed the MRNA Juice stopped the spread?

They believed this ^^^^ shite long after the science proved both of these claims were false

Progressives believe in strong leadership and advice. They arent independent thinkers.

To accept the lab leak theory would destroy faith in those who told them otherwise. Thats not acceptable, so they believe the lie.

The left quickly arranges lock step behind the mainstream narrative. Why was that the narrative...probably because it would be politically dangerous for the power hold of certain people

Because it was true, and they knew it. And if that truth was clear to the public, it would have significantly changed the response and Trump’s perception in the public

Quoting this because it really needs to be repeated.

Because they wanted to elevate, indeed worship, a pretty bad doctor in Tony Fauci.

Fauci meanwhile oversaw and encouraged funding, educational instruction, and cooperative work with the Chinese on Gain-of-Function, and had previously said even if such work caused a pandemic, it would be worth it.

7+million deaths later, most of the planet would strongly disagree. So Fauci had to lie about origins.
quote:

what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario – however remote – should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision?

Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks.

Because it would open the possibility of malfeasance or worse, so don’t look in that direction!
