He didn’t say “could have” though did he? They never do.

The lynch mob come out when people declare beyond the shadow of a doubt that COVID-19 is bio-engineered.

I have a very strong hunch that COVID-19 originated from rookie mistakes related to research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Unfortunately, we do not have enough proof, and can never move past the wishy-washy phase of it's probable. The Chinese apparatus made sure to quell any source of information that might leak.

People declaring it as fact without referring to the unfortunate reality that China has cast a veil around the origins of the virus is not helping the cause of truth.

Source for the lynch mob claim? I remember skepticism but no lynchings.
