is there a reason to care about the origin of the virus other than scoring points on twitter?

@yarrriv I'm getting tired of the news cycle where a paper based on flimsy evidence comes out defending the lab leak hypothesis, the lab leakers claim "VINDICATION!!!", and then the evidence falls apart after minimum scrutiny.

I resent the lab leakers bizarre misunderstanding of the scientific debate. An accidental lab leak has always been considered a possible explanation, but it's unlikely given the evidence we have.

@yarrriv Nate Silver and co confuse people getting annoyed by their bad arguments with a campaign to discredit the lab leak hypothesis as an impossible explanation.
