>> I GUESS THIS IS IT! >> Stephen: IT'S A DELIGHT TO
HAVE YOU HERE, MY FRIEND. >> OH, MY GOD THERE'S NOTHING I
WANTED TO DO MORE THAN -- BREATHE EVERYONE'S AIR. ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: THIS IS WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOU, WE ARE TRULY
DEAR FRIENDS, AND YET THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN YOU IN
THE FLESH IN 15 MONTHS. >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> Stephen: RIGHT. AND I AM SO REALLY HAPPY! AND I KNOW WE'RE ALL EXCITED AND
I'M NOT GOING TO GET COVID, BUT I'M GOING TO GET SOMETHING. ( LAUGHTER )
HONESTLY, THESE PEOPLE DID NOT TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEMSELVES
DURING THE PANDEMIC. >> Stephen: LAST TIME,
ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME WE TALKED DURING COVID, I WAS STILL
IN SOUTH CAROLINA -- >> THAT'S RIGHT, YOU WERE LOCKED
DOWN. >> Stephen: I WAS LOCKED DOWN,
DOWN THERE, AND THE FAMILY, EVIE AND CAN KIDS WERE THE ACTUAL
CREW. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> Stephen: THAT'S HOW WE WERE
DOING IT, IN A LITTLE UNUSED BEDROOM WITH CABLES THROUGH THE
WINDOW AND A SATELLITE TRUCK ON OUR LAWN. >> FANTASTIC. >> Stephen: THE ROOM WAS TWICE
THE SIZE OF THE DESK, REALLY TINY, BUT THE POINT WAS TO GET
SOMETHING OUT THERE, WE REALLY WANTED TO DO THE SHOW. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> Stephen: WHEN I WAS
INTERVIEWING YOU FOR IT, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW LITTLE
PROGRESS WE'VE MADE IN SCIENCE IN COMBATING PANDEMICS. IN 1918, THE ADVICE WAS WEAR A
MASK, WATCH YOUR HANDS, SAME A HUNDRED YEARS LATER. >> I THOUGHT IN 1918 THEY WOULD
BE, LIKE, DRINK A I THINK THETURE OF MERCURY AND BUTTERFLY
JUICE. IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING. >> Stephen: HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THE SCIENCE NOW? >> 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. ( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE ) AND THAT'S KIND OF -- NO, NO,
NO, NO. LISTEN. >> Stephen: IT'S COFFEE. I WOULDN'T DO THAT TO YOU. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? DO YOU MEAN PERHAPS THERE'S A
CHANCE THAT THIS WAS CREATED IN A LAB, THERE'S AN
INVESTIGATION -- >> A CHANCE? OH, MY GOD! >> Stephen: IF THERE'S
EVIDENCE, I'D LOVE TO HEAR. >> 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. ( LAUGHTER )
THAT'S JUST -- THAT'S JUST A LITTLE TOO WEIRD, DON'T YOU
THINK? AND THEN THE ACTUAL SCIENTISTS
ARE, LIKE, HOW DID THIS -- SO, WAIT A MINUTE, YOU WORK AT THE
WUHAN RESPIRATORY CORONAVIRUS LAB, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? THEY'RE LIKE, OOOH, A PENGUIN
KISSED A TURTLE? NO! LOOK AT THE NAME! LET ME SEE YOUR BUSINESS CARD! SHOW ME YOUR BUSINESS CARD! OH, I WORK AT THE CORONAVIRUS
LAB IN WUHAN! OH! BECAUSE THERE'S A CORONAVIRUS
LOOSE IN WUHAN. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? MAYBE A BAT FLEW INTO THE CHLOE
OF A TURKEY AND SNEEZED INTO MY CHILI AND NOW WE ALL HAVE
CORONAVIRUS. >> Stephen: WAIT A SECOND, JON -
OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD! THERE'S BEEN AN OUTBREAK OF
CHOCOLATY GOODNESS NEAR HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA, WHAT DO YOU THINK
HAPPENED? I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE A STEAM
SHOVEL MADE IT WITH A COCOA BEAN, OR MAYBE IT'S THE

BE RIGHT. IT COULD BE POSSIBLE THAT THEY
HAVE THE LAB IN WIT WUHAN TO STU THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS DISEASES
BECAUSE IN WUHAN THERE ARE A LOT OF CORONAVIRUS DISEASES BECAUSE
TO HAVE THE BAT POPULATION THERE. >> IT'S A LOCAL SPECIALTY AND

WE SHOULD DO THAT. ( LAUGHTER )

Why is this theory so hard to believe? Its so hard to believe some scientists in a lab somewhere fucked up and the Chinese government covered it up?
Accidentally leaked from a lab ≠ made in a lab. The former is a legit possibility, the latter is highly unlikely (scientists can tell from its genetic makeup). People keep conflating the two and it makes discussions and opinions so frustrating to read.
It's completely possible it escaped from a lab. Especially given China's heavy handed approach with lockdowns and censorship then releasing the genetic code once they realized they couldnt contain it.
That being said, what infuriates me the most is that the lab leak theory came from the same people who decided to treat it as a hoax. If it leaked from a lab then we had the largest national security failure in US history and we're still not prepared to defend against any attack of that nature.
It's still somewhat baffling to me that the "there's a super complicated lab in Wuhan where they study Coronaviruses, maybe it leaked out by accident" was considered the "racist" theory but the "look at these people with their exotic wet markets and their bat eating" was the "accepted" one.
It's funny how loved he was until he said one thing his audience disagreed with.
I love this man and I miss him, daily.
Jon Stewart hasn't changed. His audience has.
I find it hilarious that people are so dismissive of the lab leak theory. It's the only level four lab in all of China, and it's less than seven miles from ground zero. I mean, this is some Blues Clues level shit. Even Redfield came out and said he believed it "escaped" from the lab. Don't let you political beliefs blind you.
Why ppl so defensive of the "Wuhan Lab"?
