Any reasonable person would wait more results, not sure why you are so Butthurt about France, one again it's not even validated here.
Sounds like some kind of conflict of interest or something like that.


I’m aware it’s not validated there lmao, it’s not validated anywhere.

That’s the point, but world media hyping it up likes it’s a cure to the worlds problems

Bullshit. The media is calling Drumpf a conman for mentioning that it might help.

Last I read it was a horse in Toronto. Really we'll never know the true origin because it may have been a recombination and it was so long ago that we didn't even know what viruses were when it struck.

A near identical virus was found in china the year before, the canadians brought in 96,000 chinese workers in 1918 and it spread from there.
China was the only country it was found that had low mortality rates because they already had herd immunity.

Maher's segment was good, but it would've been much better had he made some qualifying statements.

Yes, China deserves a lot of blame. Yes, calling it the Wuhan virus isn't racist in and of itself. But the administration has focused on blaming China to distract from the horrible job Trump has done, and we know they don't care if labeling it the "Chinese virus" hurts Asian-Americans. If they did, maybe we would at least see a messaging campaign making clear that's not the case. And let's not forget that Trump has praised China for their response to the pandemic. As per usual, he contradicts the messaging of his own administration.
