COVID Lab Leak: A State of the Evidence
YouTube video by Debunk the Funk with Dr. Wilson COVID Lab Leak: A State of the Evidence

Lots of people still feel strongly that COVID came from a lab. Conspiracy theorists say that this has even been confirmed. And still many believe things about this story that just aren’t true. Here is the truth as best we know it.

Didn’t they try the same tactic last year? It didn’t end well for them then and they’re even weaker this year.

The big idea: do we worry too much about misinformation? Seeing falsehoods everywhere is as damaging as believing too much. Our focus should be on helping people interpret information better

A bunch of sycophantic "Labour" MPs have published a statement saying that starving the poor and sick instead of taxing the rich is the way forward. I hope you didn't vote for any of these ghouls. I didn't. Still, it got the Tories out, right? Right???
