What infuriates me most about this sort of thing is it's not like there's a shortage of experts to ask before parroting conspiracy theories. @microbetv.bsky.social ...has plenty of information on the subject. Actual bloody virologists!
Also @thenewsagents.co.uk if you're going to bring up stupid conspiracy theories, at least acquaint yourselves with the science that it shows there's absolutely no evidence to support them. youtu.be/rZ1FGCPenns?...
I want to thank both @angierasmussen.bsky.social and Dr. Vincent Racaniello at @microbetv.bsky.social for the video about gain of function because the conspiracy theorists only emphasize the term only under worst case scenario situations or in lunatic conspiracies you mentioned.
