I don’t think there’s here anyone who believes Chinese statistics.
I’ve had several FR members cite both the total deaths China is reporting and the number of infections “going down” as reason to not be worried.
I don’t believe them. Nor do I believe Iran.
This was a bioweapon that escaped the lab. Iran was there to get samples of it or had technicians going back and forth.
Likely it originated in the Canadian lab where Chinese research workers were expelled from last year. A Cat-4 biolab.
Chinese didn’t want the sequence out because it confirms origins and they could have made a buck from it selling a vaccine to the rest of the world. Some scientists displayed courage sharing this information with the world and likely punished for doing so.
