Told another journo that if it's not a conspiracy theory it's without doubt a 'theory containing a conspiracy'. I hope they get sarcasm.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

All of this is so fucking dumb. Glad to see David and Andrew hammering the "it's conspiracy" really hard on Twitter too :wink:

It really is important - the issue isn't about lab leak, it's about that they _must_ have had the virus prior to the pandemic, which (a) is hugely unlikely and (b) there's absolutely zero evidence for - in fact, the evidence quite strongly suggest they didn't!

Told the same to Simone at the SCMP

@Kristian Andersen Yes hopefully the more sensible ones on the BS letter will see what they were actually saying. But I was avoiding saying anything about the evidence fore the zoonosis as that needs a better venue than Twitter.

Sorry about this but could you post the link for the letter again?
