I admit I hadn’t considered the possibility that @Giltil had an independent knowledge of Garry’s private communications, rather than just copying Kopp’s words without confirming their veracity. Perhaps he has brilliant investigative skills and I’m not giving him enough credit. Though if that’s the case, I wonder why he besmirches the forum with misquote-mines?

61 posts, many of them @Giltil’s. He has yet to address any actual evidence.
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

A good summary, consistent with what we’ve seen in this conversation–those pushing the lab leak narrative (nowhere close to a theory) ignore the mass of evidence.
