@_roko >COVID-19 made in lab
The fact that the person who wrote this then made a version replacing this with "COVID is a bioweapon" highlights the knot in that person's thought patterns that blocks them from becoming less of an idiot.
Not that they aren't wrong on other things in that list, and independent of whether COVID-19 was or wasn't made in a lab, by changing it this person basically admitted that it wasn't a crazy fringe belief that should be suppressed because it harms people. Realizing such a strongly held belief is wrong SHOULD be a prompt to reassess the very basics of their belief systems, not a small update.

@guizzy I don't understand Jeff's claim that #COVID-19 is a bioweapon.
If I was doing a bioweapon, I'd do something that was symptomless but highly for several days, then rapidly fatal after that. The intent being that $OPPONENT would have casualties in the hundreds of thousands or even low millions before they even knew enough to institute distancing and PPE / masks & gloves.
And I'd have immunized most of my population and all of my military before release.

... symptomless but highly contious ...

One more try.
... symptomless and contagious ...

@lnxw48a1 I don't think the bioweapon angle makes much sense either, but I was more commenting on the chart author's casual updating of an extremely strong belief (that believing it was made in a lab is dangerous "science denial"). Realizing a strongly held belief like that is wrong should prompt a much stronger shakeup of someone's belief systems.
