    Not saying the conspiracy theory is right. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable to consider there’s a chance it escaped the lab. Like even a small chance.

      By bringing it up, you create the false perception that it is a larger chance then the miniscule possibility it actually is.

      Are you making a point about something? Nobody is arguing that it did or didn’t start spreading from the lab.

        Person above you is arguing that it’s only a “minuscule” possibility. The number of people downvoting me suggests they strongly disagree that it might have come from that Wuhan lab.

          I don’t think you can assume they’re downvoting you for that reason.

          A lot of people have used the suspected origin of the spread to imply that the conspiracy theories were correct all along. In fact, YOU replying with the origin appears to have the same purpose. Otherwise it’s just not even relevant information. Either way, the downvotes are justified.

          That one person arguing with you is either confused or just reflexively arguing.
