While "conspiracy theory" is often intended to be dismissive of an idea, it does not automatically mean the idea is false. Conspiracy theories occasionally end up being true, or close to the truth.

This theory doesn't even involve people conspiring, just an accident occuring. Except I guess if you believe the CCP is conspiring to prevent certain facts related to the early days of COVID's emergence from being known. What an outrageous suggestion that is.

Yes, virology experts like Vincent Racaniello claim it’s bs conspiracy. I’m not virology expert, but trust people who actually know what they’re talking about vs fear mongers.
