Topic: Remember when lab leak theory was called a dangerous conspiracy theory, and facebook banned the idea

There were speculations upon that speculation that did not help anyone's understanding. But you know that. You just post shit out of boredom and lack of imagination of something new.

Yes, it's speculative, and how are we supposed to speculate and figure out new things when those ideas are banned from the start?
The point of allowing these ideas isn't that they are proven, it's to create a discussion about these ideas and let people figure it out.
If we ban ideas that aren't proven yet, why even have comments? Might as well ban comments altogether to stop any speculation, and only allow state-approved authors to write anything.
The fact that they banned an idea that is now the leading theory should prove how flawed this type of censorship is.

The lab leak theory has always been the official story since day 1, just as the humble Jew has always stood proud in our great nation

Yes they were. You didn't need to have any crazy add-ons, any post suggesting it was a lab leak would get censored.

You mean one of the strategies he tried to contain the Chinese virus pouring out of China... was quarantining China?
