Anytime anyone starts talking about left or right in a scientific discussion I instantly discount the rest of their view, because we aren't talking about science anymore. Nothing is gained from making this discussion part of that asinine tribal tug of war.


You ignore the tribal tug of war at your own peril.

You become a useful idiot to those that would manipulate science for their own needs.

In a broader sense, when one side wants to make change, and one doesn't, the "centrist" position benefits the side that doesn't want to make progress.

The scientific reality is that at this point in the pandemic cycle, the best evidence now suggests credibility to the lab leak theory. In 2020 it did not.
