Yeah it came from a lab. Trump and many others pointed this out 3 years ago... Remember those people you called "conspiracy theorists"? Yeah, they were right...

[you_are_soul]

We can say that we are very very confident that our confidency is low on this one.

[jasonmcsweeney]

Oh but we were racist to say it was from China??

[sumiland]

Why is the Dept of Energy investigating the "origins" of covid? Did I miss something?

[QuiltedKittenFosters]

Why is the Dept of Energy investigating a health pandemic? It doesn't seem that it is the correct department to deal with a health crisis.

[poomskins]

It’s really hard to admit that you were wrong.

[lu-vly]

😂 No response from Rachel Maddow viewers...Anyone?

[louistully]

weren’t thousands banned for saying this??

[Grubbbee]

Where it came from doesn't change whether a vaccine protects against it or not.

[Impozalla]

The department of energy has information on COVID-19's origin. That is a complete joke.

[ianmangham]

She doesn't come up for AIR miss blinker.

[dave]

MSDNC we lied about this from the beginning calling everyone who didn't do what we said a racist Trumper.

[Mary_andersen]

Can we call all these networks racist and conspiracy theorists now? Since you are not 100% sure still yet reporting about it? Can you guys at least be consistent?

[johnhanes]

Low confidence but likely? Or high confidence but not likely? WTF?

[anthill]

To put this into perspective the Iraq invasion in 2004 was based on medium level of confidence that Saddam Hussain had weapons of mass destruction and we all know how that turned out.

[cherylbradley]

No kidding. Most of us knew this in March of 2020.

[chrisseiler]

Unless Covid is used to heat my house the Department of Energy isn’t doing their job.

[oldsharkbythesea]

What’s the difference between a “Conspiracy Theory” and the TRUTH?
- About 2 YEARS.

[PainterSara]

Remember when everyone freaked out about John Stuart calling this on the Late Show?

[sizzlemcnizzle]

Maybe the Department of Transportation can provide a report on how to eradicate cancer.
