June 9, 20215 yr I feel like we're never really going to know exactly how COVID-19 developed, besides it came from somewhere in Central China... So the conspiracy theorists win. They can never be proved wrong.

So the conspiracy theorists win. They can never be proved wrong. This is not necessarily true. While there are seemingly open threads to many other conspiracy theories depending on how much you want to buy in (e.g. Epstein and broken cameras or hyoid bone, 9/11 and WTC7, JFK and Jack Ruby, etc) phylogenetic analysis is well understood and can easily mute any rational zoonotic skeptics if an intermediary is found in the wild. It took 15 years to find the progenitor of SARS even though an intermediary (civets) in that case was suspected and confirmed relatively quickly. The link to camels was a bit longer with MERS, but in both cases, researchers had the luxury of searching for it amid less obtrusive conditions. Each year that passes without finding an intermediate host drops the likelihood of a zoonotic origin though.

Most likely just a snap judgement, or he's tempering his assessment to hedge against the possibility of being proven wrong.

I don't care enough about Obese Buckeye to spend a nickel on his banishment. Especially since he did it for free!
