''He insisted that Covid originated in Italy, due to some rat species''

nope, didn't insist - just showed evidence that it was very possible

it still is

and as far as 'some rat species' - you don't even remember the name of the animal - which just happens to be in plague proportions near EXACTLY where the very first evidence of Covid has been found

but, don't you worry about it - all that shit about evidence is rubbish - conspiracy theories are much better
