International Did COVID come from a Lab in China? US Energy Dept asserts it was a lab leak [megathread]

[The Audience]

Man, sarcasm and the internet do not mix, I’ve been saying since day ONE that the Wuhan institute of virology being 1500 feet from the wet market things allegedly kicked off was a convenient cover story, I’ve posted videos and sources (not AJ) of people citing more plausible evidence than someone at a bat, wombat or turtle and getting sick from it.

Its 8-9 miles from the wet market, not 1500ft

There is another one much closer.

Wuhan has two labs where we know bats and humans interacted. One is the Institute of Virology, eight miles from the wet market; the other is the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, barely 300 yards from the market.

Coming next month: Hydroxychloroquine actually does work and there really was fucking voter fraud all over the place.

LOL. That was last month's news. Notice how HQC was ok to take after they stole the election? Weird coincidence.

I vote accidental lab escape due to negligence and subsequent cover up by the CCP to absolve them of responsibility. People act as if this isn’t a entirely plausible scenario. To me, it’s by far the most likely scenario.

I don’t believe it was an intentional release, but the cover up was absolutely intentional.

is there seriously anyone naive enough to believe the numbers China put out?

Intentional or not is debatable, but the cover up and way they got ahead of it in order to gain power is incredible. Too bad the USA is too weak to do anything about it. The planned destruction of our society and culture through 'news' media and social media manipulation along with foreign interest control over the economy was also a nice touch by the CCP.

Good post by you. .

The fact that it was politically impossible to discuss as a society that China, AT THE LEAST, hid information which caused incalculable damage and death is a great indicator of how demoralized we are as a country. We couldn’t even come together to say “that looks fucky. We should be mad they withheld valuable information” without being called racist and xenophobic.

The last 18 months have been transformative for me in that I have little to no faith our country will ever come together for anything ever again. We’re toast.

Its been evident for sometime it wasn't from a wet market. But now that the fact it came from a lab and China knew back in October of 19 is beginning to become more an more accepted what's the world response? China is the world's manufacturer/ factory. Its not like we can sanction them into oblivion as they hold a lot of power both financial and military.

I dobt think it was a an intentional bio attack ... I do think it was by accident. But to know in October and keep quiet allowing the spread when it could of or at least might of been controlled is fucked up.

just another reason to bring back more manufacturing jobs to the states imo. we cannot afford to be totally dependent on a potentially hostile nation.

This is starting to gain legit steam at least it feels like. If China knowing in October n the release being an accident from a lab goes world wide main stream as it might .......... China is in for a massive hit across the board. There's literally no chance China released this intentionally but they absolutely covered it up and wanted everyone else to suffer as well.

Xi thr China prez is maybe already on suicide watch .

I think likely senerio is the factories moving to India, South America, or Africa. Would be great if we at least brought the pharm n tech ones back here tho

Yes there is. I'm not saying its confirmed but China has benefitted in multiple ways from the release of the virus, and they absolutely have shown willingness to do so.

They exported their citizens across the world and locked down domestic travel. That alone should ring some bells.

The Chinese government definitely wanted the whole world to be infected, with proof being locking down their country BUT allowing flights out of China and condeming other countries for attempting to block Chinese travellers.

That said, I don't think they intentionally released the virus. Once the virus was ravaging them, they would have figured that it is in their interest to have the virus ravage other countries also, because if only China is affected then their economy tanks while everyone else carries on as normal, leaving China at a gross disadvantage.

 

[MicroBrew]

Just goes to show how moronic the West is in their relationship with China. The CCP has been playing dirty for a long time and the West has been opening up the West to the CCP.

Why is there no chance they released it intentionally?

Daily reminder that Taiwan had one of the best Covid responses in the world, and Taiwan isn't even recognized by WHO. Why exactly did we rejoin WHO again?

Pelosi told everybody to go to Chinatown


This is such a dishonest discussion. EVERYBODY KNEW WHERE IT CAME FROM... SOME LIED ABOUT IT AND PRETENDED OTHERS WERE STUPID.. Propaganda eaters shut off their brain as usual.

The same reason the media and "experts" claimed there was no way at all that the virus came from a lab. Orange man bad

What makes you think those are fake?

Yeap.

 

[JDragon]

To sum it up, too much points to the lab to ignore it at this point. WHO deflected last year already and I believed it.

This country has never been united about anything, and it doesn't need to be to function. We had literal segregation at one point and it didn't destroy us. I don't think a bunch of people yelling about politics is going to collapse the society.
