You've convinced me that I need to modify my messaging on the subject to fit the current political realities. I'm used to discussing the lab origin with incredulous friends several months ago before it became part of the national conversation. Now that the hypothesis is in the zeitgeist and is being used to further imperialism, it's more important to acknowledge that the evidence is inconclusive and that dozens of labs in the world could just as easily be the culprit.

I try to synthesize it like this now.
