The Fish Sticks Origin Hypothesis
The Fish Sticks Origins Hypothesis achieved a 9.8/10 absurdity score for prima facie absurdity, but fell down lower due to lack of substantive impact.
I still haven’t made up my mind fully on the true origin of SARS-CoV-2. I keep “probabilities with error bars” in mind, but the higher probabilities include (these can be overlapping) lab leak or intentional release of an engineered strain for study or vaccine production or biowarfare. I’ll give zoonotic origins a tiny probability, still, Alina Chan aptly demonstrated the absurdity of the pangolin origins theory that got paraded in [very] serious (“serious”) scientific journals.
What I’m less inclined to believe [than even the thinly-veiled zoonotic origins propaganda] is the CCP’s claim that SARS-CoV-2 was passed into China through shipments of frozen foods, which I’ve dubbed the Fish Sticks Origins Hypothesis. The WHO team sent to investigate (or “investigated”) the origins of SARS-CoV-2 actually spent time examining this hypothesis, which may be one reason you feel like you might be living the Truman Show.
