Kobe, Mello, HHusky, GR gator individually, “Hold my beer!”
I wouldn't necessarily lump @GreenRiverGatorz in that group. Thinks for himself.
I was originally team bat, but the new evidence, particularly Rogin's work, has completely @Swaye'd me to team lab outbreak.
It may be lab (probably IMO) or maybe bat. Whatever. What pissed me off then and still does now was that segment of media & politicians & Twatter bluechecks calling even asking the lab-leak question racist, conspiracist and xenophobic. Literally[/i] anti-science, the lot of them.
It fits in line with much of the media's disturbing new "trust the establishment" bent. Peter Daszak, the virologist who was selected by the WHO to oversee the Chinese investigation, had such absurd conflicts of interest that no layman could ever mistake it as impartiality. Yet it took over a year for that to be publicly understood by a wide audience. In the meantime, he was able to pump out absurd amounts of misinformation that can't be clawed back from the minds of most casual observers, and the media not doing their due diligence on him is wholly to blame.
Back in March 2020 when nutjobs like me were speculating that it was very possible if not probable that it came out the lab, there were many stories of those in China involved went poof. Like all of them. Any investigation in 2021 of this is wheel spinning and window dressing.
It was common speculation of a lab leak before it hit the USA. Those of us used to watching international news were aware of the pandemic in Wuhan AND that there was a lab in Wuhan it may have escaped from. This was common speculation in January & February before the CCP got ahold of US propaganda outlets and squashed those very basic correlation questions. The chocolate spill in Hershey PA am I right?
I remember wondering what in the fuck we were doing allowing international flights from Wuhan(which came into the OC btw) while they were blowing up bridges and destroying railroads domestically to isolate Wuhan in China.
