Because it is their nefarious lab that leaked it and they didn't want anyone to think it was intentional.

It’s called tds.

Trump says take the vaccine, they all say no. Biden says take the vaccine, they want to jail anybody that doesn’t take it.

Because NPR and CNN said to be opposed to it.

That’s truly all it takes.

Because thats what they were told to believe, and if you didn't believe that it was because you were a racist conservative.

The folks who pushed back on the lab leak origin were compromised by Chinese leadership and did what Xi told them to do.

Meanwhile, they pushed a racist stereotype that Chinese eat bats and armadillos at wet markets.

Ron Unz thinks the lab leak theory was actually planted by the IC. The used independent media to run with the lab leak theory and used mainstream media to push the “wet market” theory. He found evidence that some obscure media sites were discussing the lab leak before the Chinese authorities even knew the virus was spreading through Wuhan. There’s also evidence that the virus was created by the Americans and released in Wuhan as a method of biological warfare. It was an attack that essentially got out of hand and backfired tremendously

It was a bioweapon used by dems and gope to push for mail in ballots. Mail in ballots allowed a way to defeat orange man. 81 million votes....

Because the censorship dam would burst and the evidence would prove that the Deep State was working with and paying for the CCP's bio lab. CCP would drop this and the DS dominos would begin to fall. Same with Ukraine. Because they can't LEGALLY do it/Gain of Function here they pay these relatively insecure yahoos in other places to do it. That is a sure fire pandemic. Thank you Deep State. They own the blood.

Simple. It would demonstrate the academia and government are less than perfect.

When talking about masks trump said just wear a scarf.

Npr then did a study finding wool is too breathable, trump is wrong. Denim was the best material for face protection.

Because they were made to believe anyone questioning the narrative was a member of their enemy tribe (MAGA/conservatives)and/or a whacko right-wing "conspiracy theorist."

They're only cool with left-wing conspiracy theories.

Also, it was a way for their side to exert power/authority over their enemies and Fauci et al. were their war leaders. That whole time period and situation was authoritarian retribution porn for the left.

Lock-Step with 4AM talking points. "Journalists" adhere to them or find another profession

Capitalizing on an opportunity at a power grab doesn’t leave much time for self reflection.

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 democrats have an automatic, involuntary, violent, nauseous, knee-jerk abject reaction to truth. We already know this.

It put China in a bad light - “our best and brightest aren’t bright”

China owns the D Party, and demanded that the D Party not put China in a bad light

Hope this helps

Because they didn’t want to admit that this was designed in a lab. Because that would trace back to China and, in hindsight, Fauci signing off on this.

Because in the Woke ideology, the farther from white that people are the more innocent they become.
