"Covid-19 was deliberately engineered in the Wuhan lab and leaked into the world?"

I honestly cannot believe you led with this. A considerable number of experts now believe that Covid-19 was deliberated engieered in the Wuhan lab and (inadvertantly) leaked into the word. It seems like the most likely scenario by far at this point. We know there was a real conspiracy to suppress this information and paint it as an unhinged conspiracy theory, led by Peter Daszak. Is he a friend of yours, perhaps?

Oh, but it appears that the conspiracy theory that President Trump told people to consume disinfectant is alive and well...

I buy the point that a lot of these conspiracy theories are less widespread than most people seem to think. But what about the Arizona recount and other state-led election investigations? If the election-was-stolen conspiracy theory is not that widespread, why are politicians caving to calls for recounts? Presumably giving in to an unpopular but vocal fringe group would not be good for them politically?
