Day 725: The Omicron Hypothesis

He actually covers seven hypotheses about the origins of the Omicron variant, as well as the reasons one might be spouting wild theories about such a mild and unassuming "variant". If you've missed any omicrankiness, from the patents to the lab leaks to the variant's variant, it's in there, along with the author's even wilder conspiracy theory.
