Considering the complete 180 and sudden viability and admission of supression around the lab leak theory in Wuhan I can 100% see why lableak conspiracy is going over level 9000 for any such thing now :D

I have not done any kind of research into if the Wuhan lableak story is true or not, but the admitted supression by the govt has made sure I cannot trust any kind of conclusion around it.

Exactly why would a government not suppress a conspiracy theory? More importantly, why would you trust any government that didn’t at least attempt to suppress conspiracy theories?

Since when is the government supposed to suppress anything?

I don’t mind if the government tries to suppress the ideas that the Earth is flat, that birds aren’t real, that the moon landings were faked, that the four elements are air, water, earth, and fire, etc.

We sometimes call that education.

Since at least the moment the species developed the concept of law and a government to enforce it.
