    And even if this is true, what does investigating a lab leak do to stop the spread of a virus actively working its way through the population?

      I’m not worried about that question, I’m worried about the ability of government to silence people simply for disagreeing with them.

        If people making the lab leak claim were silenced, why the hell can I not stop hearing about it?!

        What simple disagreement are you referring to exactly? Everything you’ve mentioned has been pretty clear disinformation that lead to people dying not simple disagreements.
