I think we need to make one very important differentiation. The report released this weekend suggested that the origins of Covid were 100% natural (in fact, they go on to say there is zero evidence whatsoever suggesting gain of function research was happening, or that the virus itself was actively modified), but that it was collected and then, due to incompetence, poor safety protocols or poor adherence, it got out. It's even less likely that they knew what it was and purposefully released it, because why would they release that right at home when they could just bring it to NYC and release it?
Anyway, I fully expect that distinction - which is incredibly important - to be ignored by a large percentage of our population.I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...

The Chinese labs are known to have researched coronaviruses, esp post SARS. A leak doesn’t mean malicious intentOriginally posted by BobbyBrady

Also, some other things to note. The report specifically calls out its own low confidence in the findings and cites several other conflicting reports. This was basically a report saying "yeah, we'll never really know. Here's one possibility that's as likely as all these others".
And keep in mind that any time a virus is allowed to grow and reproduce, it can mutate. Whether that is in a damn petri dish, a wet market area, or, ya know, an out of control pandemic. This is kind of that observers paradox in a way. But that doesn't mean we're actively aiding the mutation.I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...

Would you be more or less mad if a family member was murdered in a targeted way or if they were wiped out by a car in an accident?I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...

Seriously, What the **** is this ****ing bull****?

@SpeakerMcCarthy
For years, Democrats in Washington refused to have a single hearing on the origins of COVID. Now that Republicans control the House, the truth is coming out.
