Lab Leak: The conspiracy theory is shaping up to look like real possibility

[seanD]

They unleashed it in wuhan to hit hong kong?

Releasing it in Wuhan and blaming some wet market selling exotic animals would be much less suspicious than releasing it in HK at ground zero where the uprising is happening, wouldn't it?

He's been slacking lately.

Something about trying to change his ways.

If demi were being paid off by the Chinese government, they should get their money back.

Why not the story about the US soldiers in China releasing it? Is that any less credible than the Chinese lab? Though the Chinese were pretty thorough, getting the virus into wild animals.

Its just SOP trolling (i.e. acceptable), accusations of being in the employ of the Chicoms. You are not supposed to take it seriously.

Yes that would be an abuse of you're moderator powers

BBC news:

He [The Donald] also said the US was looking into unverified reports that the coronavirus emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan rather than in a market.

US media have reported that the US embassy in Beijing raised concerns about safety at two laboratories in Wuhan. However on Tuesday General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that US intelligence services believed it was more likely that the virus occurred naturally.

The WHO is like the UN or US Labor Unions --- started out great, and filled a need, but greed and corruption prevails.

Withholding funds would probably be in breach of the Impoundment Control Act. I know that Trump does not care about the law, but I do expect better from you, whether or not you think the WHO is well run or not.
