    Person above you is arguing that it’s only a “minuscule” possibility. The number of people downvoting me suggests they strongly disagree that it might have come from that Wuhan lab.

      I don’t think you can assume they’re downvoting you for that reason.

      A lot of people have used the suspected origin of the spread to imply that the conspiracy theories were correct all along. In fact, YOU replying with the origin appears to have the same purpose. Otherwise it’s just not even relevant information. Either way, the downvotes are justified.

      That one person arguing with you is either confused or just reflexively arguing.

      I believe that it may have been released from the Wuhan lab inadvertently. And I’m downvoting you

      Because when you first brought up the Wuhan lab it was as a rebuttal to somebody talking about the conspiracy theory that it was a bioweapon engineered to eliminate conservatives. So while you may be right about it’s origins, it makes it seem like you are trying to defend that conspiracy theory, whether you actually are or not
