[ExI] it's not? indeed?

I find the lab leak theory to be exceedingly unlikely.  The wet market
origin of the spillover is much more likely to me.

But it does not matter.

It was punishable on multiple platforms to say you thought it was the most likely explanation, even if you were well credentialed and presented a thorough case.    Fauci and US government pushed such punishment as appropriate and are still pushing to punish and censor misinformation and disinformation.  Determined by whom?  Why, primarily by government of course.   Because they need to product us from wrong think.
