People have based their whole lives on covid being a natural disaster which only the science could save us from with masks, lockdowns and vaccines.

That we're in a world where the pandemic was caused by scientists and natural immunity is the only thing that's worked at slowing the rate of infection is not something they can process.

The origin and the remedy are entirely uncorrelated (If anything, one would think that a manufactured origin of the virus would make "natural immunity" a LESS likely viable remedy).

Strawman is getting tiresome. You're equating the virus escaping from a lab with the virus being engineered with the virus being a bio-weapon with the release being intentional.
