In-Depth Analysis on the Origins of Covid

Its mystifying how on 5-9-2021 we can read posts like this. The clueless nature is more than just partisanship it’s full on delusional.

Conservatives spent a year getting everything about covid wrong, and on purpose.

And they’re still whining about masks.

You do get that one the persons in charge of the last administrations covid team was Dr. Fauci? You also may want to ponder the fact that under a progressive admin vaccines would have more than likely been tied up in regulation or folks sent to death locations as Cuomo did and then hide the data of deaths.

I’m guessing this posts claims that it’s only past Trump supporters or current (Rs) have issues with masks. Here’s the thing, when our leaders side step even the CDC recommendations for outside mask wearing for some odd political optic it absolutely shows and gives the wrong message with the vaccine push. In reality they don’t want mask mandates to be canceled because it’s not just about the mask it comes with power and control with school and business openings and other.

Just look the stupid optics with the VP and husband kissing with masks on, they were outside, both vaccinated and distanced and surrounded by only vaccinated people. What getting back to normal with getting vaccinated does that support?

Trump bragged about overruling his team constantly, but I know you get that. You may want to ponder the fact that I don’t have to wonder about pretend scenarios in order to discuss Trump’s real world failure.

Oh look at that CUOMO so now covid is real again derp derp derp…

Trump never bragged constantly about overruling his covid team, link to that if you can. What he did do unlike the figure head and chief we now have that’s strings are pulled by his cabinet of former lobbyists is manage the pandemic, you know, the thing you do when elected president. Curious, can you point to anything of substance the current admin has done compared to the warp speed progress of the last admin.

Take note, this is a debate platform and I have given you plenty of topics to challenge me on over a these few posts. If you are unable to debate anything of substance why do you bother to take the time to reply?
 
A well-done 43-minute read on what appears to be more than just a right-wing nut-job conspiracy theory - gain of function experiments in the Wuhan Lab.

Governments do not spend $Billions weaponizing a virus that kills a mere 1% of the population.

It's even more absurd when the overwhelming vast majority of those who died were elderly and don't work, or immunodeficient, or otherwise disabled and not working, and none of them would contribute anything to a war-time economy.

Now why don't you explain to us exactly what the anti-vaxxers have to stop the worst pandemic in a century?

Exaggerate much? The Spanish Flu killed more Americans than COVID and the Spanish Flu was around longer.
 
We had a pandemic kill 500k Americans because Trump lied about that pandemic.

Conservatives seem to feel the path of covid goes from china, leaps over TRump, and lands directly on Andrew Cuomo.

I am not a conservative, for one thing. I think most of the blame should go to the people who started the pandemic, who were careless and ignored all the warning. Maybe Trump should have been god-like and all-knowing, but he wasn't. Neither was Cuomo, or almost any other politicians. No one knew what to expect at the beginning.

I see people outside walking alone with masks on. I see them driving alone in their cars with masks on. They probably wear masks at home, and when sleeping.

Masks might help a little when indoors with strangers spraying spit all over. Other than that, it is stupid to wear them. And very stupid if you are trying to exercise and get fresh air.
 
Interesting and enlightening post, So,158 million deaths world wide isn’t enough to investigate the origins to ensure this is never repeated. The sad part is that we already know the origin and offender but the truth always gets deflected because of politics and greed.

For me, anyone that has excused the obvious with the Wuhan China connection and the Wuhan Institute of Virology were the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was working on coronavirus pathogens is bizarrely naive. It’s very hard for me to grasp that anyone could be partisan enough to ignore these facts.

You seem to care a lot about what China did, but why do you have no problem about how your president made the problem much worse once it arrived here? Why do righties do nothing but project and deflect?

Actually the scientists were telling us all the way back in January 2020 what to prepare for. The idiot in the White House would not listen, thus many more Americans died than should have.

Deflection and denial. What do the anti-vaxxers have to stop the worst pandemic in a century?

The article doesn't ever posit that the virus was fashioned for weaponization

What it does present is that US agencies funded coronavirus research in a Wuhan lab, including gain of function research and the alteration of coronavirus genotypes, which escaped via accidental human contact. Not only is his theory well documented, his presentation is scientifically stronger than the bat theory that was trotted out early 2020.

He didn’t need to be: he was told it was 5X deadlier than the flu by Xi himself, and then Trump told us it was just the flu.

And then even after he knew how dangerous it was, he still played it down every chance he got.

So you think it was ok for reckless scientists to start a pandemic. And then investigate themselves and decide it wasn't their fault.

We agree: 500k dead and a wrecked economy was Trump managing covid. But I’m happy to see a conservative acknowledge a potus should manage a deadly plague. Refreshing!

The current admin did what the former guy refused: create a coherent *national* strategy and surge resources/personnel to the states to help organize. Yknow, all the stuff Trump and his base kept saying wasn’t his problem. And as a result we are looking at an amazing summer and even better fall.

President Biden is just doing the bare minimum of what we should expect from the leader of the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. Shame that the former guy couldn’t even jump over that low bar.

I think you think i’ts okay that Trump lied to his own citizens about a pandemic using CCP talking points. Right?
 
Oh you're funny. Let us not wonder how the pandemic started. Who cares? After all, we would like to have more pandemics and more lockdowns and vaccines. Of course. What's good for the drug industry is good for America. Let us not question the wisdom of Anthony Fauci, who promoted GoF research. After all, he is a MEDICAL DOCTOR, so he can't ever be wrong about anything. Creating dangerous viruses in labs is FUN, and we don't want to ruin anybody's fun, after all. YEAH, keep those pandemics coming virology labs! Who are we to question your great wisdom.
If Covid was really lab created and all the reputable scientists who say that is impossible because "they can tell" are in on it and lying to us then we can throw in the towel. It's all over. I don't believe that is true though. Viruses have been mutating here for billions of years they aren't going to stop now are they?

"Any technology, no matter how primitive, is magic to those who don't understand it."

This thread is not about Trump!!!! What Trump did or didn't do is unrelated to how the pandemic started.

You responded to my post, and I responded to yours. It didn’t go where you needed it to, so now you wanna discuss the origin.

I don’t evne know why cons care about the origin. It was a hoax. Covid was no big deal. Shrug.

The scientists who investigated are the ones doing the research. They don't want their research banned. Do you really need to have blind faith in experts?

I told you I am not a conservative. And I never said it was a hoax. I don't understand why Democrats now days have blind faith in medical authorities.

I certainly trust a consensus over one rogue group anyday. That is how science checks itself. You can believe in conspiracies if you want though it is all the rage now. That does not make them any more real though.
 
Not sure why it's so hard so difficult to admit that;

Fauci et al authorized the outsourcing of coronavirus gain-of-function research that eventually set fire to the world, and
Trump bungled the extinguishment of it.

Those two things can both be true at the same time.

There are plenty of scientists who think the pandemic started from a lab accident. I posted several links. They are mainstream news sources.

Only if you believe in conspiracy theories with no basis in facts or evidence.
