I am also still of this opinion. We are considered crackpots for one of the most logical explanations, as well as one of the most plausible explanations.
You don't have to know the truth to reject obvious lies and misinformation from " legitimate authorities".
If "legitimate authorities" have demonstrably spread misinformation and lied to you multiple times - you question the truth content of everything they say going forward.
Once you allow yourself to question or reject statements by lying authorities you expand the Overton window on what is possible.
You can now weigh all possibilities.
You hold all sources to the standard that caused you to reject the lies of "legitimate authorities".
You don't logically reject one set of liars and gullibly accept others.
I considered the bioweapon/gain of function, attack/escape theory early on and nothing has falsified it as far as I can tell. It is a real option on the table still.
The official narrative is filled with so many lies, contradictions and incoherencies that I'm finding it hard to trust anything said by those who hold/held to the narrative. Including President Warpspeed.
It is hard losing confidence in all the institutions you've trusted your whole life, but nobody said rejecting lies and demanding truth was easy.
Not knowing the whole truth is better than believing lies masquerading as truth.
