COVID ESCAPED from a Wuhan Lab???

Holy shit, could it be??? Even Fauci is "not convinced" that COVID developed naturally.

It's still too early to tell if this intelligence is reliable. But if it's true...

Thoughts?

There were a bunch of threads on here back in 2020 about the virus. I remember one distinctly that discussed Trump's rhetoric in calling it the "China virus," with a bunch of snowflakes on here and in society overall going into panic mode and calling that racist/xenophobic. 

Truth is, this was what we suspected from the beginning. It came from China. Lots of people held the idea that it even came from the lab in Wuhan, but you can watch in amazement as these people who made such suggestions were just shut down hard by the media and everyone.

Coincidence that they're all of a sudden open to the possibility of investigating now after China will have had time to cover up or destroy evidence? You decide.

 

Most Americans don’t have the ability to comprehend the difference between someone’s government and its people. That’s why. 
 

I think pretty lowly of most governments, including China’s. However, as we’ve seen, most people take that info and use it to justify their own racism and attack random people who just look Asian. Trump calling it the “China virus” was not helpful. Everyone knew it originated from China, I don’t think that was ever a question. Lab or natural, it’s still a massive screw up/ negligence of the Chinese govt. I don’t think that was ever in question either (maybe how negligent the government response was can be in question). 
 

The point being- calling it the China virus enabled a lot of idiots to be openly racist. Did Trump do that intentionally? I’ve got no clue and I doubt anyone has a clue either. Should the President of the most powerful country in the world be more careful with their words- absolutely.

No one gives a shit about Trump calling it the "China Virus" or the "Kung Flu." Anyone who committed hate crimes against Asians would have done it regardless.

 

If it turns out to be true, every single mainstream media journalist must suck off Alex Jones.

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

That's disgusting. Alex Jones would not want head from journos.

I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I'm not just gonna give you a whole spill... I mean, I don't even know where you're sitting at
 

He'll be fine. Between this and pedo-Bill Gates, Alex is like 2 years ahead of everyone.

The lab leak hypothesis has been the operating assumption of our intelligence community from the very beginning. I specifically went on record in May 2020 and sent a lengthy email to the rest of the investment team assigning a high probability COVID-19 was accidentally released from the WIV and was likely a product of gain of function research, what does this mean for our exposures yada yada. Which the media until recently condemned as a "debunked conspiracy theory" and would have gotten me booted off Twitter if I shared my view there.

I will admit that a non-zero part of my motivation for going on the record re: COVID-19's orgins back then was so I could gloat about it when proved right (I was highly confident), and gloat I shall. No smoking gun has been made public, but the circumstantial evidence is material and methinks the NSA/CIA has a pretty good idea about what happened.

The mainstream media should be ashamed and embarrassed of their conduct over the last year regarding this topic (they won't be). Just utter bullshit and lies right from the very beginning when the facts at minimum indicated that an accidental lab release was a plausible cause of the pandemic and should be investigated.

I would advise anyone who is surprised by this or even those who didn't seriously consider the lab leak hypothesis until recently to do some major reflection on the quality and range of their media consumption.

Everyone knew about this back in March 2020, and social media sites were taking down tweets, YouTube videos, etc of anyone that was talking about this very fact. The media was labelling anyone that talked about this as a conspiracy theorist and slandered them like crazy.

Now, all of a sudden, the media narrative is that the pandemic *might* have originated in the Wuhan lab (accidental or not)? What changed?

The media lies, lies and lies even more. How on earth do people still believe ANYTHING the media says?
