I've watched/read him before and agree, he seems relatively reasonable. That article was a bit long-winded, but most writers tend to be.
The article restates the original I posted in terms of possible "origin stories" for the virus. I am less interested in the political implications of each, but everything these days is political, so what are you going to do. I agree with Frum that stating both theories have about equal credence at the moment and to deny one or the other is playing the politics of your side. The Dems would be wise to stop treating the public as children (however tempting that may be) and acknowledge they don't currently know how it originated, but that discrediting a lab-grown theory (for whatever purpose it was grown) without evidence to the contrary is not helpful to the world in general.
I also hadn't considered the actual lab staff may have initiated a cover up for fear of retribution from the CCP. Thought hadn't occurred to me. Guess that's why Frum writes speeches for presidents and I just read him.
