    Let’s ask some surgeons who wear masks all day for work how that “brain damage” is working for them.

    Surgeons wear light paper mask so the CO2 affect is not as bad. Those mask are to keep spit and nasal discharge from ending up inside the person they are operating on. The people in my post were wearing much more restrictive mask. The adult was wearing a half face respirator and the kid was wearing a N95 mask. Both of those are much more restrictive than a surgical mask. See below.

    1. The CIA's assessment was not based on any new evidence that hasn't been publicly known for a while.
    2. The actually controversial claim is that the virus was genetically engineered in a secret lab experiment and leaked out that way, not simply that it leaked out of a lab which as far as I can remember has always been considered a credible possibility.
    3. The CIA's assessment still comes with the caveat of "low confidence" and might very well be politically motivated to put more pressure on China.

    I really don't see anything here to be talking about "vindication" for a conspiracy theory. Sorry.

    you should go back and read some of the contemporaneous posts. this assessment was roundly scorned by many folks here, as well as in the media and the Biden admin (but I repeat myself).

    The "conspiracy theory" relating to a lab leak -- the one that got significant push back -- was that it was a result of secret genetic engineering research. Can you point out where in the CIA assessment that this claim has been validated in some way? Please quote from it, if you can.

    And the notion that it originated in a lab has never been very controversial, though people are right to question over-confidence in that position while evidence was still being gathered. And, we still don't have definitive evidence for it (hence the CIA's assessment being "low confidence").

    In 2021, the DNI's assessment was described as follows by CNN:

    Wuhan lab: New US report on researchers’ illness furthers debate on Covid-19 origins | CNN Politics

    "The current intelligence reinforces the belief that the virus most likely originated naturally, from animal-human contact, the sources said. But that does not preclude the possibility that the virus was the result of an accidental leak from the Wuhan Institute, where coronavirus research was being conducted on bats."

    As I said, the push back wasn't that the idea it accidentally leaked from the Wuhan lab was far-fetched. Rather, it was that there was no strong evidence for it, so people claiming matter-of-factly that it must be the case were challenged on that basis.
