So f’n tired of this xenophobe bullshit. Started right off the bat when Trump stopped flights from China. Who the hell was right about that, Trump or the f’n wokes?I feel like it was an instance of we didn't know what we didn't know. There was also a groundswell of xenophobia which prominent far-right wingers didn't help/exacerbated by labeling it the 'China-virus' or 'Wuhan flu.'
I agree that there were signs that it pointed to a lab leak being a strong possibility early on, but to prematurely state that with such strong conviction without iron-clad evidence - which most certainly did happen - didn't really help matters.
