A Chinese Lab Virus? So Now What?
American Greatness ^ | June 16, 2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 06/16/2021 10:16:50 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

For over a year, the American establishment and media borg have ostracized anyone who dared to connect the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic with the Chinese military-sponsored, level-4 biosafety Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Then, suddenly and without apologies for their past demagoguery, “journalists” and “experts” concede that the nearby Wuhan lab may well be the most likely genesis.

Why the abrupt change?

Donald Trump is no longer president.

There is now no need for progressives to declare everything Trump once asserted as truth a lie. And that paradox includes Trump’s spring 2020 insistence that the lab, not a wet market of sliced-up bats, was the source of the outbreak.

The recent release of Anthony Fauci’s emails, along with the new information about Dr. Peter Daszak’s gain-of-function research, make it indisputable that both were knowingly channeling U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Chinese for coronavirus research in Wuhan.

So now what?

We are left with a number of lose-lose scenarios about China’s failed efforts to lie about the origins of COVID-19.

One, will China continually deny what is appearing to be undeniable? Perhaps, if we remember it is a country with a Communist Party hierarchy that once killed 60 million under Mao, and whose present apparat has put over 1 million Muslim Uyghurs into camps.

A stonewalling Beijing likely will conclude that the risk of appearing guilty for causing one of the greatest “natural” global disasters in a century is not nearly as destructive to its interests as admitting it.

Will China then wait us out, in O.J. Simpson fashion, denying the obvious facts—until wearied Americans move onto another of their media frenzies?

Or, two, could China confess that its SARS-CoV-2 virus was birthed in the Wuhan lab, but claim its appearance was a “joint” effort with the United States?....

Now what?

Avoid buying anything from China at all costs as much as possible.

I realize that with some things, it cannot be helped, there is no other source. In that case it may be possible to find something used online or at a thrift store or yard sale.

"A Chinese Lab Virus? So Now What?"

Now what? Probably nothing. China will continue down the path towards world dominance. The United States is so economically entwined with the Sinos and so self absorbed with social justice that we too would do nothing. At this point in time what difference does it make how the virus originated? America can no longer be galvanized into actionable unity.

I think the Chinese will pick #1 and the democrats and all our social institutions will do nothing because they are in bed with them.
