Eh, they were already edging towards it previously, some democrats just followed the party line this time around. Reminder that USians were always easy to propagandize considering post 9-11 Bush had 90% approval ratings.

I'm not convinced it came from a lab. But the idea of it coming from a lab is not a conspiracy theory. It's only a conspiracy theory if you think it was released on purpose.
This was already heavily debunked last year. Now that Biden supports it, you have Wapo changing the name of an article last week, originally written in february of last year from : "Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked" to "Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus fringe theory that scientists have disputed."
FB has also reversed its policy of removing posts pushing this conspiracy theory.
Meanwhile, the US has admitted to releasing these kinds of viruses on their enemies, as recently as the 1970s:
- In 1971, A CIA operative told a reporter he delivered a strain of the African Swine Fever virus from an army base in the Canal Zone to anti-Castro Cubans. An outbreak of the disease then occurred in Cuba, resulting in the slaughter of 500,000 pigs to prevent a nationwide animal epidemic. It was labeled the "most alarming event" of 1971 by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization.1
why do you think that it is not a possibility?
Cause as we all know diseases are all man-made and do not occur in nature.
