Coronavirus lab escape theory advances
Washington Times ^ | 4/8/20 | Bill Gertz

Posted on 04/12/2020 7:11:48 AM PDT by dontreadthis

For weeks after the COVID-19 outbreak began, mainstream media outlets, reflecting propaganda themes voiced by the Chinese government, have sought to label public discussion about a laboratory origin of the coronavirus as an unfounded conspiracy theory.

China’s government and many scientists insist that the virus resulted from a naturally occurring mutation from bats to humans, with a possible wild animal host as an intermediary carrier.

Further, critics of the lab escape theory deceptively have conflated the idea that China bioengineered the virus as a weapon together with the possible inadvertent escape of a bat coronavirus.

Will the next one also be labeled a accident too?

That’s almost always the smart bet, but at this early stage of finding out what exactly happened, the fact pattern supports both the “intentional” and “incompetence” theories. We’ll have to wait to see, but this is way too big to sweep under the rug, IMHO.

And there’s the third possibility: this was both a result of incompetence and infliction of intentional harm. We won’t get the exact picture, but we’ll get close enough.

In any event, the CCP needs to be made an international pariah, and be made to pay a heavy price.

And when China knew it was circulating widely they allowed planeloads of infected Chinese to fly all over the world to infect people in other countries.

On purpose.

Chinese sent infecteds to particular targets, that’s the explanation for “some places and not others”. This is an ATTACK, they sent people to deliberately spread this, and the worst hotspots are where they sent the most infected people.

Like human smallpox-saturated blankets (allegedly used to decimate Native American populations)?

Very right it is all about portfolios and campaign funds. Look at the Republican and Demoncrat legislators who dumped millions of dollars in stocks AFTER being notified of this problem, before it was released to the people.

I enjoyed seeing their heads on pikes alongside the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Didn’t you?

Wait, I must have dreamed that. No one in Washington has the balls to go after these people.

It was intended for home use. China needs to be rid of about a quarter billion people. They found or created a highly contagious virus that kills mostly the aged or medically compromised, the useless eaters, but allows the strong to recover. It got loose before the planned time, and the commies took advantage of it by ensuring its spread to the enemy (that’s you and me, folks) by withholding information about it for a month and a half.

Prove me wrong.
