Not long ago, you would’ve been considered a conspiracy theorist and Pro-Trump individual for believing in such a thing.
Now, it’s becoming truer and truer.

Let me explain something in a non-partisan way if I can.
The right and left don't trust each other. That's a given. The left is very used to the right lying about things. The right is very used to hurling accusations with no merit. Sorry, but it's true.
When the original accusations came out, they were dismissed for a couple of reasons.
1) lack of evidence. 2) the right-wing propensity (under Trump) to hurl accusations without merit BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY 3) the genetic make up of the virus did not show the tell-tale traces of genetic engineering/design 4) the virus did show a number of factors which indicated evolution across several species. And in laymans terms - if you were going to design the virus or weaponise an existing one, you wouldn't bother inserting evolutionary dead-ends to show how it crossed species barriers. In other words, you'd start closer to your end point.
In addition to this, Fauci said clearly and categorically that there was no gain-a-function research being done at Wuhan. He tried to use specific lawyerly type weasel words presumably so he could later claim that he didn't technically lie. But fuck him, he lied.
For the lay-man, think of gain-a-function research as turbo-charging evolution to see what a virus might end-up-looking-like years down the line, so you can prepare for a future pandemic.
It turns out now that Wuhan WAS doing gain-a-function research. The American Government knew this, and they had funded it. But the Wuhan lab did not have the best reputation as a biohazard 4 hazmat lab, and mistakes could have been made.
The fact that the virus was created by gain-a-function research, is not really in doubt any more. Statements have been made to the effect of "It's not really gain-a-function because we didn't make it more lethal, we just increased it's communicability". Sorry, that counts. So fuck you, it was gain a function research. So that answers points 3 and 4. It also counts as evidence, which eliminates point 1.
So the people on the Left who refuse to acknowledge the facts on the ground now, are doing so purely because they prefer a world where the Right wing does all the lying, and the Left wing have their little angelic hands clean and are always brutally honest and upright. But that world ain't this world.
Plenty of people on the political Left owe some people on the Right an apology. A whopping great big apology.
I can understand where the voices on the Left were coming from - it was unthinkable that they would be lied to by one of their own, the supposed "good" guys. And under Trump they had gotten used to hearing daily accusations from the Right with no merit behind them. I get that. I do.
But the facts on the ground are what they are - denying reality is a ridiculous thing to do, regardless of your political beliefs.
"The right and left don't trust each other" both parties are in on the Great Reset and N. W. O (not everyone in these political parties just the elites) and they are both two sides of the same coin and two wings of the same bird
"In addition to this, Fauci said clearly and categorically that there was no gain-a-function research being done at Wuhan... Wuhan WAS doing gain-a-function research. The American Government knew this, and they had funded it."
I'd like to see a link to that, because my recollection is that Fauci said the US government had not funded gain of function research, not that they weren't doing any.
"With all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect. The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute. We do not fund [he get interrupted by Paul] -- Dr. Barrett does not do gain of function research, and if it is, it is according to the guidelines and is being conducted in North Carolina."
The US government did help fund the Wuhan lab, because it was at ground zero for the last SARS pandemic. It also used to have CDC scientists in China, to catch this sort of eventuality as soon as possible.
If you are truly nonpartisan, then you won't have a problem with someone pointing out that some of your statements are misinformed.
www.factcheck.org/.../
@BeenThereLovedIt I've read that in some detail and will do so again, but from what I can see, it corroborates everything I said, including the wiggle room Fauci and the NIH tried to give themselves in their chosen use of language. I happen to agree with Richard Ebright, who told the Washington Post that the EcoHealth/Wuhan lab research “was — unequivocally — gain-of-function research.”
So if you think I'm misinformed in something I've claimed, please be specific and let's look at it.
Didn't I just ask you the same, to show us exactly where Fauci said what you said he said, and how you "know" the US government "had funded [gain-of-function]", especially in light of that fact check?
And maybe a link to that place where Ebright says the lab was doing gain-of-function research, so we can see if that was the US-funded part of the lab?
Nobody gets an apology for things said with the backing of all the evidence available at the time.
Hell, do you expect apologies to come from the people claiming it was a bio-weapon, when it is proven that it wasn't? It will be like all the apologies for suggesting Obama wasn't American, they'll just move on to the Jewish Space Lasers or bamboo ballots.
@goaded I'm not even sure where you are going with this. Fauci has made many inaccurate statements over the last year. Many of those statements were made with the available information at the time, and he later changed his statement or opinion based on new information or data that became pertinent. There's also going to be some data that is classified and that while he makes decisions based on that data, he cannot elaborate on how he came to that decision.
If you took the time to read the article I posted, then you realize that the "gain-a-function" terminology can have different meanings depending on how (and in what country) that it's applied. I believe the article states that the lab worked only with naturally evolving viruses that mutate between animals and humans, and not creating genetic 'possibilities' that could never evolve without human intervention. The CDC works with scientists and labs around the world, and none of them are interested in wiping out humanity as the talking heads like tucker carlson are screaming about. He cares about ratings and nothing else. So many others do too.
@BeenThereLovedIt I was talking to @Belgie - who hasn't posted anything backing up his claims. I asked him for something specific, which he ignored, then he asked you for something specific. I was simply asking again, while pointing out the hypocrisy.
We agree: there's no reason to apologise for giving the best advice possible at the time, it's completely unreasonable to expect perfect solutions to a novel situation.
You started out right, but the right should have no apology. Trump hurled this accusation without any ounce of evidence. Possibly being right in the end doesn't change the fact that he had no idea what he was talking about and only desired to trash-talk China. That people originally dissed the lab-leak as a conspiracy theory is of no surprise. And clearly, even if scientists believed it, you wouldn't want to give reason to someone who was right for the wrong reasons. You would be justifying this kind of behaviour. So no, absolutely no apologies!
Media: kid shot dead by cop.
People: burn the bastard!
Truth: kid was 25.
People: he wasn’t doing anything wrong!
Truth: he had a knife to someone’s throat.
People: he shoulda given the kid time to give up.
Truth: kid was talked to for nearly 20 minutes before he was shot.
People: the cop should have never had a gun. What if your was your son…
Me: My fucking kids not dumb enough to pull a knife on someone like a fuckwit, bring a knife to a gun fight, AND knows when police say stop it’s probably best to listen.
When TF did we lose accountability?
@rcljr " the recreational abortion came to be. "
Yeah, because that's totally a thing. I hear women all the time planning get togethers with their friends. "So what are we gonna do after brunch?" "I dunno. Want to go the park?" "No, I was thinking, do you know what I haven't had in a while? A good relaxing abortion. Let's do that, then go to the park." "Okay, sounds fun!"
You're a f***ing idiot.
To be honest, I don't trust politicians. ANY of them! My Dad said he would never trust a paid lair, since he died, I have watched and I have seen what he meant. Not just politicians but the news channels that are so full of crap. Anyone really. I prefer to trust a person whom I know, until they give me a reason not to.
I really like Jon Steward's take on this issue. I had no idea he was going to take this stance on the issue, but I am glad he made it clear in a comical and understandable way. While I am not sure if it did originate from a lab, it is important to find out.

It was engineered via mold spore toxins both in the US and in China, through grants and exchange student programs, sponsored by Malthusians like Gates looking to invent the perfect bioweapon in order to enforce the Georgia Guidestones.
It was run through to the Wuhan lab via numerous dummy corporations, to launder the source of funds, in order to get around the fact that numerous international laws were violated in the creation of this contagion.
The perfect smokescreen: if you live in China, you'll hear how it's America's fault. And it'd be partially true. If you live in America, you hear how it's China's fault. Once again, the conclusion would be half-true.
It was deliberately leaked from the lab into the wet markets. From there, the mold spores infected pig food, and the pigs became the major spreaders. Workers who then had to dispose of the pigs got sick, and it spread from there. Anyone exposed to them spread it to their coworkers and animals on the wet market - including bats.
Just as Legion was cast out into pigs; so through pigs, we have unleashed other demons on modern society.
Not surprisingly, that same Wuhan Lab was the world capital for Big Adrenochrome - which took a huge hit when Trump closed that one port in San Fran and busted those Chinese pedophiles. It has been all-out war on him and his supporters ever since. Literally everything about how 2020 was handled, was about revenge over the San Fran port. Big Adrenochrome holds bigger grudges than Kayako Saeki!
But the part about the Wuhan lab is the only part you're gonna be allowed to know. Because you're still required to view the rest as "only a theory." By the same jokers who let Hollywood throw the plan right in your face with movie subplots for almost 20 years, while dressing it all up in monkey, mutant, superhero, spy, cyborg, and Guy Fawkes suits to make it all sound ridiculous. And as if that weren't enough, letting M. Night Shayamalan get away with making "The Happening."
They used plane chemtrails to drop mold spores on neighborhoods with poorly-protected 5G towers leaking radiation. Thus, filling neighborhoods with ozone from all the ionization, which helps multiply the spore toxins' toxicity in your body. So in a weird way, something similar to pollen made thousands sick. Just like Shayamalan's movie. And then, they played it up to be 225 times deadlier than it actually was, to use fear porn over the fake threat to blind you to the real threat.
Fauci is a puppet to some of the most despicable psychopathic criminals ever to exist.
Lets get one thing strait BOTH party s lie for their side that is a given no foul called this instance. The Wu Han virus was from that lab China knew what happened and closed that part of the country down. No travel into Wu Han but international travel out of Wu Han was ok for weeks before they were caught spreading the virus un checked The mighty DR F has had dealings with them and the WHO [WORLD HEALTTH ORG] for years and has flip flopped many many many times to help cover their part in this and I bet you that you did not know that from first COID 19 relief the Wu Han lab was given $28 million from the package and millions more from the second COVID19 relief package. May I ask WHY? So many people knew that the virus was from Wu Han lab they sat on it in hope of a world pandemic for a world reset they were betting on BILLIONS dying not a few million. As much as people are going to bitch and moan the ORANGE MAN saved us by closing the border when he did no matter what you call him he did save a lot of lives when he closed the borders while Pelosi was in Chinatown saying it was safe to travel at the same time saying Trump was lying. Who was telling the truth? This is not the end of this kind of attack on freedom from China it just showed them how we can react so the next time they do it that reaction will be built in already to cause more death.
It was probable a year ago, the media is just propaganda and too many people blindly follow bullshit blindly. If you have any level of education you should constantly be picking apart the falsehoods presented in any media broadcast. It's hard to watch that nonsense for any period of time. I couldn’t even deal with the level of lying 21 years ago. Today it’s just uncomprehending how there are actually still people that trust anything the media says. If someone trusts the mainstream media at all, that is a good indicator that they are mildly retarded.
I always looked at it as a possibility, that being said I was hoping it didn’t come from a lab. It was bad enough China covered it up when we though it was a bat or pangolin, lab is a lot more troublesome because it means we can no longer work with China for anything, not even to manufacture kid toys or even pencils. We will need to cut off all trade with China if that lab theory is 100% true.
what may be even more consering is if it was released on purpose that would be grounds for war and we all know that would be WW3
You're as daft as them. It's not become "truer" just because some dipshit talking heads want to push that story about Wuhan.
There are accounts of the virus already circulating before Wuhan
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/03/210318185328.htm
Meaning it could not have come from the lab.
Or that the USA is responsible for the covid outbreak
https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1187598.shtml
Yeah I never understood why it was considered such a wild stretch of the imagination to suggest it might be a good idea to investigate the working theory that the highly contagious Covid virus that started in Wuhan actually originated from a gigantic government-run highly contagious virus research laboratory (whether it be on purpose or by accident) that just happens to be less than 10 miles from Wuhan. It's like believing that Hostess isn't responsible for Twinkies.
Because research laboratories have very strict protocols to prevent anything leaking while similar corona-viruses have simlly transferred from animals to humans 🤷🏽
@tartaarsaus So because there's "protocols" in place at the Wuhan virus laboratory, there shouldn't have been an investigation when a virus breaks out in its proverbial backyard? With that logic, all the operations around the world, whether privately owned or government run, should never be investigated when there's a logical and/or tangible nearby link, simply because there's "protocols" in place. That's ridiculous and absurd. If a place that breeds mice is right next to a city, and suddenly that city has an invasion of mice, are you just going to shrug your shoulders and say, "Nah it can't be the fault of that mouse breeding facility. They have protocols. That city must just have a shortage of cats. Let's look elsewhere." Come on now... that line of thinking is naïve and illogical. You investigate the obvious, eliminate the obvious, *then* look elsewhere. What's happened to this point over the last nearly 2 years since the Covid outbreak started, in terms of the investigation origin, has been thoroughly backwards.
@NYCQuestions1976
Lol that’s not what I’m saying. Sure, you can investigate it by simply examining whether some member of the lab got infected and left. But that does not somehow imply that a lab leak theory is super plausible, because the procedures mitigate the probability that anything like that could possibly occur.
We’re simply talking about probabilities here
I mean, these laboratories basicallly everywhere have protocols in place to mitigate the probability of a leak to extremely small. At that point, it is very fair to say that it is not the most likely or obvious way it could happen, as opposed to natural causes, especially since there is a long history of coronaviruses spreading from animals to humans
@tartaarsaus I'm not disputing anything that you've posted. My point is this: You eliminate the obvious first, then go from there. It's not like I'm suggesting that a pie factory should've been investigated. A highly contagious and deadly disease was first discovered in Wuhan at the end of 2019. Just outside of Wuhan, there's a highly contagious and deadly disease research laboratory. That laboratory should've had a knock on its door before the start of 2020 by the World "Health" Organization. Instead, the Chinese government, with the help of the World "Health" Organization, went out of their way to lay blame anywhere else without even considering an investigation of that laboratory. That's completely unacceptable. Then to add insult to injury, with still zero investigation, the World "Health" Organization announced in May 2020, along with support from other "officials" and "experts", that the virus laboratory outside of Wuhan wasn't to blame for Covid. Two weeks later, the Chinese government "donated" two billion dollars to the World "Health" Organization. Again, completely unacceptable, and borderline criminal.
It is becoming more apparent that it is an international manipulative tool to alter the course of politics and as it dissipates, new stains are being introduced (spearheaded by Fauci, Chinese and vaccine developers) to keep what appears to be a secret war going.
Indifferent. Studies trying to assess where viruses originate from often take a lot of years. Also, the material is so specialized that the opinion of virtually everyone without a PhD in the relevant areas isn’t particularly valuable.
So we’ll definitely see in 10+ years what the origin is
*definitively
They literally have the emails with fauci and other scientist discussing this very fact that dna sequences look engineered
@cjmtherfcker
Yeah here’s a shocker to you. Academic studies that go beyond “looks like” take years. “Looks like” is not actually rigorous evidence that it is engineered
Well That may be fine an well, but people with PHD's in the relevant material said its suspect. Plus we already know what was going on in that lab. I mean you really think its more logical this thing came from a bowl of bat soup?
🙄 surely you must realize that some of them having some preliminary thoughts of it being “suspect” is in no shape or form even remotely close to being rigorous evidence that it actually came from a lab
Isn't the lab leak the simplest explanation?
Whether it is the simple explanation is not even marginally relevant in answering the question about the source of this virus.
Just because an explanation is simple does not imply it has any merit
Conspiracy theory bashers are a funny bunch. If you don't believe rich, powerful people conspire with each other, against the unwashed masses, solely for their own benefit, you need to take a closer look at history.
These people aren't rich and powerful because they care about the starving poor. They're rich from taking any advantage they can
Obviously. But coming up with science fiction stories is no better. People are called conspiracy theorists because they come up with stories with ZERO evidence. That's what Trump did. He might have been right in the end, but he had no idea of what he was talking about. All he wanted was to trash-talk China and divert the spotlight from his horrible handing of the pandemic. "Your handling of the pandemic sucks sir." "LOOK! It's China!"
@spearheadbt is there a possibility that he had access to information we don't have?
@JayParris Trump? What kind of information? Clearly there is no sufficient evidence right now to say that it was a lab leak. If Trump has access to this kind of information, surely those who shared it with him (or Trump himself) would share with the rest of the world? If it was indeed a lab leak, the Chinese government wouldn't try to prevent people from getting that information if it was already shared.
@spearheadbt so you're saying there's no way the president could have information you don't have...
@JayParris Reread my post: that nobody has. Why would the US and other governments like the EU try to get info out of the Chinese governement/Wuhan lab if the US government already has it? Makes no sense. If the US had that information, it wouldn't be a theory anymore!
@spearheadbt that's still not an answer. But you don't even seem to know the difference between information and evidence, so hey... just keep on thinking you're informed.
If you think the top levels of government don't have access to information unobtainable to you and me, you haven't been paying attention. And if you don't think they'll withhold information just to keep you where they want you, you REALLY haven't been paying attention.
I like to ask simple questions. The answers say more than you think they do. Refusal to give a straight answer almost always shows some sort of ulterior motive or bias. I don't like wasting my time on someone who can't answer straight and honest.
@JayParris Waa? How would that information be of any use if it was not evidence? That information HAS to be evidence in order to be used to make such declarations. Otherwise it's just out of your ass. "Oh, I have "information" it was a lab leak, but it's not actually evidence" Yeah, right. You're trying to dig yourself out of a hole here.
"If you think the top levels of government don't have access to information unobtainable to you and me, you haven't been paying attention."
You haven't been paying attention to what I said. I obviously know that. I NEVER talked about ME having information. But the GOVERNMENTS. Governments say all the time they have information on something without actually sharing it to people! Again, let me repeat myself ONCE again: WHY the hell would the US government be looking for information/evidence (call it whatever you want, it's the same damn thing in this context) it already has? Because it doesn't have it! WHY would the Chinese government try to withhold information that has already leaked out? Because it has not leaked out! Simple. I don't need to know what that information is. I don't need to know the nuke codes to know that the US president has them.
And clearly, when Trump made those declarations, no one from outside China had even visited the lab. (and of course when they did, they got nothing of value out of it because of the Chinese government). All Trump knew, is that there was a lab in Wuhan where they study Coronaviruses, and so that technically it could have been a leak. Information (indeed here it is not evidence and I specially say information because it is not particularly useful) everybody has always had.
At the risk of triggering the nuts and looneys that is actually the complete opposite of the truth. A new comprehensive study out today has actuaaly shown that the wuhan lab theory is extremely unlikely.
Remember if Trump says it then it's a lie. 100% guaranteed.
Firstly, what, exactly, has changed since January, when that first video was posted, to make you think it's more and more probable?
Secondly, the "conspiracy theory" part is that it was release deliberately (in their own city?), or designed as a weapon (which would be even less likely to accidentally get released).
It's always been possible, but not likely. Like you could be a multi-millionaire lottery winner, but you're probably not.
P. S. Jon Stewart is joking!
There where CIA assets in the lab. Release of Bioweapon on China, has to at least explore the possibility of this being an attack. Not an accident
@cjmtherfcker Ooh, nice one! You're right: the USA attacked China with a bio-weapon! C:
You saying its impossible?
@cjmtherfcker Oh, you weren't joking? Do you think I won £1,000,000 on the lottery?
No, but you really believe it more likely this thing came from a bat soup than the BIOLAB?
@cjmtherfcker I think it came from a cave full of bats a decade ago.
Fair enough. For me the simplest answer is the Lab
There's a difference between an accidental release during legitimate research being reported by credible sources like US intelligence agencies, and the conspiracy theory that it was manufactured and intentionally released to sabotage trump's election chances peddled by trumptards on facebook.
I don’t think those were the main/general sides.
I think it was rather simple.
If you thought it came from a lab =pro-Trump/conspiracy theorist
If you thought it came from eating bat soup= normal
none of that makes a difference. trumptards thought it was manufactured and intentionally released to sabotage trump and had no credible sources for that bullshit.
I think very few people legitimately take up that position.
I think it really is just the main two above that I mentioned.
Doesn't really matter. China clearly did not do it intentionally as the virus has destroyed their economy and killed lots of their people as well. The only reason conservatives are pushing this is because they think it will make Donald's handling of the virus look better. But it doesn't because Donald still failed to get everyone to wear a mask and failed at getting people vaccinated.
If the Anti~Trumpers would have not been so political at this onset of the pandemic. Just imagine how many lives might have been saved!
I think that it will be proven that American tax dollars were supporting the Chinese lab that designed this virus. That is why they are so hesitant to investigate.
My dude, gorillas were considered to be a conspiracy theory animal before someone shot and killed one for the clout.
Its far easier to diceve everyone than convince one person they have been diceved.
I don’t understand why this matters either way. Like maybe... contain your stupid experiments more efficiently?
matters because if it was engineered on purpose it works different from something that evolves naturally in the wild.
It has nothing to do with being pro-Trump or anti-Trump. China's leadership sucks and so does Trump. I don't Trust what China says on anything, the same way nobody can believe what Clown Boy says on anything.
I believe him. At the very least he was right about… Russia, fake media, Democrats, Democrats, China virus in most ways, business, Biden, and so much more…
Meanwhile look at Biden. Defending the minorities at the cost of the majority. July 17th I think it is the atf loses all state support on firearm control no matter what Beijing Biden says.
@VanillaSalt Yeah but you are battling mental illness.
Whaaaat? You mean the government and mainstream media lied to you. Say it isn't so. Ohh woe is us for the appocolypse is nigh.
Honestly who didn't see this coming. And boy if this makes you mad just wait till all those election fraud "conspiracy theories " get proven to be true
I hope more people begin to realize that the two party system has been rigged since the beggining (presidents are selected not elected)
It is not becoming more probable. The probability has been the same from the start. It is only the probability that people might believe it that has changed.
I had a feeling it was man made from the beginning, but I still have mixed feelings don't know what to believe
Yeah, it *really* could be either. The truth is, we'll never know. Good luck having China being transparent enough so we can rule them out (or not). Lack of evidence doesn't mean something is untrue, and it also doesn't mean that if it is true, we can ever find the evidence to prove it. What if, given it was indeed a lab-leak, they destroyed any evidence? Then all we have left is the very plausible (as it happened several times in the past too and the genetics allow it) jump from animals to humans.
Your so right. We will probably never know. I try and educate myself but who knows, but who knows if the source is reliable
@spearheadbt yet the leftists savior, his highness biden the brainless is busy sucking off the Chinese premier every chance he gets…
Hahahahahaha don't get me started
No it's you are haha I mean politics and Biden I can't stand him
I know I know I meant lol
When I see him speak publicly I wonder to myself this is who y'all picked to represent us. Really. He's so frail and stumbles speaking. I've read in a few articles that he might have dementia I don't know what to believe anymore I stopped buying a lot of products to stop supporting it like Pepsi coke etc. I buy locally as much as I can
Haha I bet he nibbles his neck a little like thank you daddy what else you want me to do hahaha
You can also add your opinion below!
