There are people who understand the difference between a conspiracy and a cover-up.
And there are people who are grasping at straws.

There's a big difference between calling something a conspiracy vs a cover-up.
Cover-ups happen regularly and often follow accidental mistakes.
Conspiracies have a different, nefarious meaning to many people. And a conspiracy theory has become synonymous with a crackpot theory.

This difference is so basic but some people need it to be explained to them again and again.
If you called the lab leak hypothesis a conspiracy theory in 2020 (or even 2021), please find your courage and stop telling people you meant that a lab accident would require some form of cover-up afterwards to hide evidence.
It would be refreshing to find scientists who can tell us, "At first, so many of my peers said a lab origin of SARS2 was a conspiracy theory that I bought into it. But as more information emerged over the past year, I realized that it was a plausible hypothesis to investigate."
