Jon Stewart Goes All-In on Wuhan Lab Leak Theory
Asked how he s feeling about the state of the scientific response to COVID-19, Stewart added, So, I will say this and I honestly mean this I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science. Science has, in many ways, helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science.
Taken aback, Colbert asked his friend, Do you mean perhaps there s a chance that this was created in a lab? referring to the ongoing investigation into the so-called lab leak theory that started as a right-wing conspiracy.
A chance? Stewart asked. Oh my god, there s a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China, what do we do? Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab. The disease is the same name as the lab. That s just a little too weird!
When he’s right, he’s right.
