There is an important principle at stake in the search for the origin of COVID-19: our faith in science.
Passengers, some wearing face masks wait for their train at a railway station in Wuhan, China on May 8, 2023. China’s top official in charge of COVID-19 pandemic prevention said the country will remain vigilant against the virus and push forward vaccination after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 no longer qualifies as a global emergency.
Experts’ positions have hardened, but at least the facts about the two competing theories are clear enough today for the public to understand, even if the correct theory for the origin of COVID-19 remains uncertain. Many virologists and epidemiologists are on record supporting this theory, including Dr. Paul Offit, the noted pediatrician and vaccine expert, who is this country’s leading authority on the history of vaccines. Offit’s opinion carries significant weight, but he has still not backed his opinion with dispositive evidence.
It has become fashionable to use the term “conspiracy theory” to discredit anyone or any idea that is contrary to a mainstream belief or political view. Where once the term was reserved for such confections as faked moon landings or multiple shooters firing at former President John F. Kennedy from a grassy knoll, now it is a fashionable ad hominem way to discredit people without confronting and refuting their arguments through discourse.
