    Yeah. Like what if anthrax somehow got out of the only government facility that produces it and was sent to reporters and congress people who were going to vote against going to war in Iraq?

      The Amerithrax shit was insane, honestly more insane than 9/11 considering that they never found out who did it

      Wow what the fuck, I'd totally forgotten about that. There's so much sketchy shit (and plausible deniability) around the U.S. national security state that it's like the events overwrite each other.

    I like how American discourse is so decentralized Michael Tracey's take can coexist alongside "liberals only care about this so they can nuke China", "liberals funded the creation of the virus through Fauci", and "it actually did originate in the US and liberals are covering it up".

    It's incredible how quickly Liberals went from "Only Trump supporters are pushing the racist lab theory" to "Only Trump supporters are denying the very credible lab theory."

    Isn’t there a fair amount of evidence that Lyme Disease may have leaked from a US lab? I’m pretty sure I read a Fortean times article about it a few years ago.
