Welcome back to the Ed Sullivan Theater! What tasty conspiracy would you like to start with today? On Monday’s The Late Show, Stephen Colbert welcomed his old brother-in-arms Jon Stewart to be his first studio guest, where he was promptly told to “stop with the logic and people and things” and give in to what Stewart believes is the correct coronavirus theory: It came from a lab, and not, say, “a pangolin kissing a turtle” or a group of feisty bats in a market.
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. That’s just a little too weird, don’t you think? Look at the name! Show me your business card! Oh, I work at the coronavirus lab in Wuhan. Oh, there’s a coronavirus loose in Wuhan.
“This is the problem with science. Science is incredible,” Stewart concluded, “but they don’t know where to stop.” We’d say there’s something ironic about that sentence, but, hey, he has a new show, he’s got to promote it somehow.
It is likely true that it leaked from a lab. And it is true given the right environment, a scientist somewhere will do science without being bound by social constructs like ethics or morality.
Jon Stewart stopped being funny like 10 years ago…
Huge bummer to see Stewart use his schtick for lazy, unfounded racism.
The f is this nonsense
We have bats in Australia too, and in Queensland they were behind the Hendra virus in horses that spread to people. Humans and livestock encroaching into wildlife habitat is the cause of these viruses. Blaming it on a laboratory does not solve the cause of virus, which is us.
'endorsed' is an interesting word to use here.
This was embarrassing, dumb, and irresponsible. We have enough science-denying conspiracy theorists in this country FFS.
Yeah. This was bad. He’s getting old.
Soon the Group Thinkers will say Jon Stewart isn’t funny, like they suddenly don’t think Clapton could ever play guitar.
I'm so happy our celebrity overlords have allowed us to think for ourselves now with their approval.
Lol NY champagne libs are such a joke. But hey keep on entertaining the rest of us.
