Pretty sure the dominant opinion for Republicans is that COVID is a hoax.

Wuhan lab leak conspiracies are mainstream. 52 percent believe the virus came out of a lab, including 59 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of Democrats, while 28 percent said it was from an infected animal.

What those numbers tell me is the majority of democrats are just as stupid and chauvinist as Republicans.
The problem is bipartisan. We were fed anti-China propaganda by our media and government; this is the result.

Don't talk to me like that.
My information wasn't wrong. It clearly showed that a majority of Democrats agree with Republicans, and that hasn't changed. The only thing that has changed over the years is that Republicans have become even more stupid and chauvinist. It was outdated, I didn't notice, but the updated information doesn't contradict my point.
You're trying to make this about Republicans vs Democrats, but the reality your own link shows is that this conspiracy theory has been made mainstream by our government and our media. Republicans are worse. Who fucking cares? Death to America.
You need to accept that the Democratic Party has played a major role in spreading these lies. Don't absolve them.

I recognize your point. My point is that it's not just Republicans. We can't let Dems off the hook for their complicity.

Well when I pointed out a huge number Democrats believe this shit too, you argued against it by saying it doesn't compare and it's not even close.
But a majority definitely compares to a supermajority. You can't just gloss over that to focus on Republicans.
