I don’t do videos. I can read and synthesize material at about 4 times the rate of human speech. Videos bore me to tears.
Written material is far easier to fact check, which is leftists and lunatics prefer video to push their cons and conspiracies.
Who made the video and what are their credentials and expertise?
I actually agree with you 100%. I do not like watching videos. Sum it up in writing! There are a few people in the video that are pretty plugged in to Fox news, conservatism, etc. One is Tony something; I hate that I can’t remember his last name but he’s on Fox often as a military expert. The other is Gordon Chung, an expert on China. The video essentially goes through the details of how this did not come from an animal or a wet market but was synthetic
A co-vanity from me: China needs to be rid of about a quarter billion people. War would do it, but would devastate the infrastructure. So that Wuhan lab has been researching disease based methods. They found one that is highly contagious and mostly kills the elderly or medically compromised, the useless eaters; the healthy and strong mostly recover. It got loose before the planned release. The communist leadership’s response was “Let’s see if we can spread it to the enemy”.
It did the desired damage and more.
Tinfoil? You got tinfoil? All I can ever find is that second-rate aluminum stuff!
But it achieves their goal of culling the weak and elderly, while most "workers" recover.
Amen. We're on the same page.
This is true, but then why did it take so long to get the viral DNA structure out? Either way, if they were studying it they should have had this information. Which actually just leads thought towards to malintent end of the spectrum as to its origin and purpose.
I suppose it could have come from the lab, been naturally occurring, and unknown to the researchers all at the same time. But harder to believe that since the origin hypothesis suggests the purpose of the lab was precisely to study SARC-COV-2 viruses in bats. Then again, just trying to be fair, the lab may have been closed for the Lunar New Year leaving few people around to raise the red flag. Recall, this was being called a spike in pneumonia cases during the first many weeks. At least outside of Wuhan, they didn't know what to look for.
Because the natural reaction of low level flunkies is to hide their mistakes and lie their asses off. That’s why they are still low level flunkies.
People who take responsibility and fix or try to fix their errors tend to move up in an organization until they reach their level of incompetence (Peter Principle).
And this coronavirus may not have been one they had identified yet. Bats host many of them. Bat shit turns to powder rather quickly and would be easily inhaled while cleaning cages while not wearing PPE (like an illiterate cleaning lady). She picks up quite a viral load that way, but only gets mildly sick, spreads fomites all over the lab.
Maybe everyone at the lab gets mildly sick and thinks nothing of it, because it’s flu and cold season, so it just keeps spreading out into the <60 workforce until it deepens enough into the population that it finally gets to the older, sicker, stays mostly at home folks where it is now a noticeable problem and showing up at the hospitals.
This is just as likely, possibly more likely than accidental or intentional release of a virus that they’ve been tinkering with, because lab personnel would be aware and more cautious, knowing they have an actual infectious zoonotic specimen.
SARS1 and MERS were natural zoonotic events, so the fact that another natural zoonotic viral event happens is neither abnormal or unusual or rare. A synthetic zoonotic event has never happened before.
Doesn’t mean it couldn’t... but when you are looking at two explanations where the first explanation has happened many times in human history and the second explanation has never (yet) happened, then the first explanation is far more likely to be the correct one.
I heard that they're mainly a bunch of wankers.
He’ll probably make some money off the bug.
