Anti-science Republicans attack scientists who pointed out that zoonotic spread was the most likely source of the pandemic.

I'm really not invested in this and I honestly try and avoid it as much as possible. I guess it just doesn't matter to my daily life whether it's zoonotic or some lab created Frankenstein. In the end I'm going to do everything that I can to avoid it.
What I don't get, though, is why people who believe it's an evil lab creation are so eager to get it over and over again, and then make certain that everyone gets it repeatedly. I'd gladly let them write that it was a lab creation straight into the history books if they'd commit to stopping its rampant spread and start helping people who are suffering from its after effects.

I think it all comes down to "owning the libs." It doesn't matter if it's an evil lab creation, as long as they can repeatedly infect liberals. What they clearly don't understand is liberals are more likely to follow recommendations to prevent spread, so they ultimately end up thinning their own numbers. But, they don't seem to care about that as long as they believe they're taking liberals down with them.
