Derp.




Not disagreeing that it probably originated in wildlife. However, that doesn't preclude that the Wuhan lab was either investigating or weaponizing the virus, and it got away from them.
I'm not saying that's what happened, I'm just saying those articles show nothing to eliminate the possibility that... "it got away from them".

There's nothing showing Trump didn't personally order the development of the virus and it's release in China, and there's nothing showing the virus didn't originate on Mars, and there's nothing showing the virus isn't the product of unicorn farts....

They also do nothing to indicate such an event timeline was a thing.

I have the feeling that w/e ailment is affecting Biden, it's progressing rather quickly. Just oin the past year he's gone from barely coherent to soon to be drooling.


I don't think Biden has an ailment, I think he's just not as sharp as he once was since he's in his late 70s. But keep lowering expectations, that's definitely a winning strategy. It won't change your opinion anyway...everyone knows that Trump beat Hillary in every debate, Romney and McCain beat Obama, etc.

True, but common sense (and a lot of movies) tells us that experimenting with deadly viruses can get out of hand.
How about the AIDS in Africa incident that was pretty much blamed on human experimentation.

No matter how you cut it, containment of a virus is a 24/7/365 job. The odds of 100% successful containment, is something we probably shouldn't consider realistic.
The scientists have to 100% perfect all the time. One microsecond of lax procedure is all it takes for something like this to "get away from them".

Odds are... sooner or later, it will get away from them.

Please please do give us a reference to what "AIDS in Africa" incident you are referencing. This is gonna be really good.

"We would like to make it clear that there is to this day no factual evidence corroborating recent reports in the US press linking the origins of Covid-19 and the work of the P4 laboratory of Wuhan, China," an official at President Emmanuel Macron's office said.

Thanks this was for time.travel.

Not finding evidence, means nothing. It's not "proof" that an accident didn't happen.

Look it up. I watched, read, etc., the reports when they were happening. The US was blamed, btw. Might have been HIV, I don't really remember.
But it had to do with sort of the same thing we have now with cv 19. Some field/lab work was being done in Africa...and guess what.... it got away from them.
In the 80's iirc.


/ee tl;dr When working with deadly viruses, the odds that it will get out, are much greater than the odds it won't.

The US was blamed but that was propaganda by the Soviet Union in order to make inroads into Africa.
