Let’s face it Republicans said Covid is just a flu, it’s better than flu, same Republicans said Covid is a bio weapon, you can’t make this up! Make up your mind, it can’t be both!
This is absolutely powerful! It is such a well-reasoned and presented indictment of those who politicized the whole issue of pandemic origin research.

More important than the number of agencies is the agency themselves. Intelligence officers have no training in virology or epidemiology. Scientists who do have that required training all agree it was natural transmission.

Now do the natural origin: 1. No intermediate animal has been identified 2. (My favorite): Covid which presumably originated in bats, does not infect bats 🤣 3. Grant proposal in 2018 aimed to bioengineer exactly the type of virus that caused #COVID19 4. Scientists who now support #Fauci, in private emails said the virus looks genetically modified 😂😂😂

This is pretty weak propaganda... and is explaining the issue really poorly somewhat intentionally.

Incidentally, this is also very much my own thinking on the matter, as is the response by #AI. As you rightly present, though, the majority of the available evidence does indicate a natural origin, a.k.a. spillover event as has happened earlier as well. Virologists have noted how such events happen, and it is pretty much expected that such events will happen in the future. So, the emphasis ought to be on preparedness, and what can practically be done when such an event happens. What would humankind do to take steps for mitigation when there is another outbreak, or what are we doing presently that can be improved upon so that the response to the Covid-19 pandemic is in proportion to the understood risk, taking into account that human society is divided into many levels? Clearly, the involvement of local governing bodies with international surveillance is critical. And, we must root out arrogant, anti-scientific movements that do it out of greed and selfishness. We definitely need better communication of intentions and plans, and we need transparency. Thanks.👍

WHO & Lancet Covid19 Commission have said it's v plausible. Wuhan Institute of Virology was part of a proposal to add furin cleavage sites into novel SARS-related bat coronaviruses which could have lead to SARS-CoV-2. They refuse to share their records. thebulletin.org/2022/08/nih-…

This is extremely manipulative and borderline gaslighting. Most people thought Covid may have originated in the wild, and was brought to the Wuhan lab and escaped through poor control practices. You and every other liberal MSM refused to investigate, and worse yet called those 1
