It is, the narrative last year was that if you pointed at Wuhan, or Chinese Lab Leak, you were racist/bigoted.

That's not how I remember the narrative.

It was split in two.

1. Calling it "the china virus", as the former president was wont to do, was labelled racist/bigoted/nationalistic by those who did not simply agree with anything he said.

2. The claim that it originated in the Wuhan lab was viewed as unlikely, and there was (is) an alternative biological origin story which at the time seemed credible and more likely.

Lol. A lab near the wet market, who studies bats and viruses. And people ignore the obvious because orange bad man said it.

When someone demonstrably lies constantly, it's not unreasonable to assume that the truth is most likely the opposite of what they say.

>>abraae+yd
No, the reasonable response is to completely ignore what they say, because otherwise you are still being manipulated by the liar.
