I fell for the "lab leak theory" in the first couple months of the plandemic, but I think its part of their "cover both sides" duality trick to get all sides to believe in covid BS. The left believes it's from nature (climate change / freedom) and the right believes its from lab leak (bioweapon / freedom) so both sides need to get vaxxed + controlled, just like they had politicians on both sides corralling the sheeple.

Another possibility is there really was a bioweapon release but it fizzled out quickly, because they failed to make any real contagious bioweapons, so they use the media to spin up scary stories instead.
