The lab leak theory is not a strict scientific theory, but mostly a narrative of different allegations Rand Paul is not only falsely accusing Fauci of creating SARS-CoV-2, he is endorsing a very stupid version of the origin theory that has incredibly strong evidence against it. Let me illustrate:

In what @noupside.bsky.social accurately describes as “declassification theater”, the point of these stunts is not to offer the public transparency, or lo and behold, actual evidence of the allegation, but to provide news-baity spectacle with the allure of secret documents to reach virality.

Conversations expressing concern about population decline never seem to discuss the fact that it took roughly 300,000 years to reach 1 billion humans, then only 218 more to reach 8 billion. I’m not convinced we need to keep going at such a rate, especially given what we tend to do with resources.

Claims and ideas which happen to favour the ruling class don't dominate public life by accident. They're paid for by oligarchs and corporations then promoted by media outlets other oligarchs and corporations own. Once they've been drummed into our ears enough, they're internalised as "common sense".
