Honestly wish everyone would spend less time on either side of the lab leak vs natural origin and more time on issue that has actually defined the pandemic: airborne transmission and the overall institutional response that emphasized droplet transmission
Maybe it’s just because I have not dived into it to any meaningful degree, but I don’t understand the stakes of the lab-leak theory. What does it do for people who propound it? What would it challenge or undermine if it were proved true?
I get that this sounds plausible to lots of people but it is not congruent with the evidence!

Genetic data indicates the virus didn’t come directly from bats. The Wuhan lab ONLY studied bat viruses.

until yesterday the priority of the Canadian Medical Association was having the capital gains tax increase repealed

so on day one of the campaign, I'm going to suggest that professional organizations that have advocated for the rich to get richer have shown us what their social priorities are
An election will be held on April 28, and Canadians have made themselves clear: health care matters.

Patients are asking for timely access to care. Physicians are asking for a health system that works. Read about @cmadocs.bsky.social's priorities during this election ⬇️

Friendship isn't hindered by masks; it's strengthened by a mutual commitment to each other's health. Masks challenge the status quo of individualism. Masks are a symbol of shared responsibility, emphasizing collective well-being (something Jeffrey doesn’t want to be reminded of).
