Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

So I have vehemently pushed back on my friends and acquaintances who have proffered the THEORY about COVID arising from a Chinese lab in Wuhan because I did not see any credible support other than trying to demonize the Chinese government and blame someone. Well lookie here:

U.S. intel report identified 3 Wuhan lab workers who fell ill in 2019

I guess its more than some fearmongering rumor, but still how about people blame only the Chinese govt. and refrain from demonizing those of us who's families have been here over a century (grandpa came in 1910)? Is that too much to ask?

 

So the going theory is that the Chinese deliberately created a mutant virus to kill us all and also any steps taken towards mitigation are a hysterical overreach designed to destroy our freedom. Is that what we’re going with?

 

So that's what you take from my post? I guess my writing is a bit unclear. I'll work on that.

 

By giving credence to the theory that the virus came from the lab doesn’t mean one is saying China did it on purpose.
I see it more like a Chernobyl-type fuckup.

 

No it is what I see the GOP setting up on the tee box, contradictory logic be damned. And their violent yokel constituency will nod right along.

 

I'll give him his last words: "I regret that I have but one life to live to pwn the liburls with."

 

Rand Paul: on the road to DaMASKus

 

I mean, that article passed speculation as a real explanation of what happened using something that happened in the 50s and interviews with people who had no knowledge of the tracing of the covid origin as proof. He was hocking a book. Forgive me if I declared shenanigans on that article.

 

I'll admit that I thought that the zoonatic jump was the cause and dismissed the lab connection because that seemed to be simple "What if?" analysis which is not helpful. However, I realize now the error of my way.

I frankly refused to give it any credence until some solid evidence was shown because people were using that hypothesis (Not enough for a theory) to blame the Chinese (and all Chinese) for intentionally attacking the US (what about the rest of the world?)

 

Perhaps I'm slow. Oh, fuck the "perhaps." But I fail to see the difference between Xi's horrible dictatorship covering up a leak from a research lab (sadly frequent all over the earth) and Xi's horrible dictatorship covering up the fact China's live food markets are sinks of possible disease. I mean, in which scenario does he look good?
