Check out Peter Daszak twitter profile for an example for the abuse you will get if you speak out against the lab leak hypothesis:

Quite understandable if you would not want to participate in that.

Somewhat telling that you need a "throwaway" to point that out...

But seriously. It is easy to be labelled "CCP-shill" or "useful idiot" if you question the lab leak theory.

And what is even crazier is that the lab leak-proponents are convinced that they are being censored. Even though they are completely dominating here (and elsewhere) in the hn comments, commenting on a pro-lab leak theory article from a major UK newspaper.

Facebook, Twitter and Instagram deleted millions of posts for simply discussing the mere possibility of a lab leak.

That's not conspiracy, that's fact; and it's weird no one called you out on it.
