- iopq 3y agoTwitter owners did not engage in promotion of conspiracy theories back then
- pauldenton 3y agoIf we look at the Durham Report all the claims that Trump was colluding with Russia were infact a Conspiracy Theory. Like Iraq having WMDs in 2003 was a Conspiracy Theory.
- iopq 3y agoConspiracy and conspiracy theory are not quite the same. Some things are just false claims. A conspiracy theory usually refers to something that has a semblance of consensus. The Iraq war had a decent amount of opposition before it happened, there were like 100K people in San Francisco for the protest I went to.
- ekianjo 3y agoFunny how some conspiracy theories end up actual being factual conspiracies. Remember when your news sources told you that 100% covid did not come from a lab?
- iopq 3y agoI don't believe it's been conclusively proven either way.
- porkbeer 3y agoConclusive? No. But like tire tracks leading to a pulverized deer in the middle of the road, you can see the signs clearly.
- iopq 3y agohttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9348752/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9348752/ there's evidence to suggest that there were two separate events from different strains at the start of the pandemic this doesn't disprove the lab leak theory, but then they would have to be studying two separate very related strains and it would be strange if they just kept leaking different strains You could, of course, take it as proof that the lab leak happened at around the same time as lineage B, while lineage A is from bats
