All of these news stories about the origin coming from the Wuhan lab go into deep analysis over the virus not being created in a lab. That's not what the intelligence agencies are looking at though. The intelligence is focusing on a naturally occurring virus being released from the lab - either intentionally or unintentionally.
ReplyDeleteThis is a huge deflection and misleading headline giving the Communist party of China a pass. The casual reader would read this headline and believe China is free from responsibility. Is this another Bloomberg news agency that is avoiding critical coverage of China?
Bing bing bing 1:52.....WHO wouldn't respond to a question about whether the virus originated from Wuhan but was willing and eager to say it wasn't artificially created? Can we say pandering to the Commies? Why do they pander to the Chinese scientists? A true investigation would hold their words and conclusions until a full analysis has been made. These bread crumbs are just supporting China's narrative that they are the responsible country and everyone else is to blame. Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever leave your little bubble where everything is either good or bad, black or white? So, what would you have the WHO do in this situation? I'd like to hear your strategy. Because they have to toe a fine line between working with governments and regimes and having the door completely slammed in their faces with access to NO information. So let's sum this up in your little world, you call out China for all their wrongdoings and China says "fuck you, no more information or access" So now we're flying completely blind but hey, we got the truth out there. Next breakout, we're fucked because we have no access at all. Use some critical thinking.
DeleteCongrats goes out to the guy from TN who was selling chiefs gear! The NFL doesn't need that money copyright or not. Ha Ha Ha I hope he made a ton of money!
