COVID-19 conspiracies soar after latest report on origins

WASHINGTON (AP) — COVID-19's origins remain hazy. Three years after the start of the pandemic, it's still unclear whether the coronavirus that causes the disease leaked from a lab or spread to humans from an animal.

Ask no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.

The report has not been made public, and officials in Washington stressed that a variety of U.S. agencies are not in agreement on the origin. On Tuesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Fox News that the FBI “has for quite some time now” assessed that the pandemic’s origins are “most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan.” But others in the U.S. intelligence community disagree, and there's no consensus. Many scientists believe the likeliest explanation is that the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 jumped from animals to humans, possibly at Wuhan's Huanan market, a scenario backed up by multiple studies and reports. The World Health Organization has said that while an animal origin remains most likely, the possibility of a lab leak must be investigated further before it can be ruled out.

So how is the "lab leak" theory a "conspiracy theory"?

If you want to talk Fishing, well I guess that would be ok.

” it’s still unclear”
That, is a deliberate lie.

“Three years after the start of the pandemic, it’s still unclear whether the coronavirus that causes the disease leaked from a lab or spread to humans from an animal.”

_____________

Three years will become a decade, which will become a generation, etc., and this very sentence, rewritten only as to the number, will be thrown out like chum, or, perhaps more aptly, spewed out like Giant Squid ink, by the AP for the benefit of the unwashed masses.

Damn,

The Asspress is asking questions.......

If they really dig, they might find out it was intentional.

Nah.

"Three years after the start of the pandemic, it's still unclear whether the coronavirus that causes the disease leaked from a lab or spread to humans from an animal."

Still unclear? Then why was the AP so insistent at the time that the lab-leak theory was utter nonsense, a "conspiracy theory"?

[Skwor]

"The World Health Organization has said that while an animal origin remains most likely, the possibility of a lab leak must be investigated further before it can be ruled out."

This is an outright lie. When first reviewed by the leading virologists they already knew it was likely outside of nature and was most likely created, the sequencing does not support a natural mutation. Certain government agency leaders (*cough* Fauci *cough*) put political pressure on them to not speak openly about it. They buried the truth.

Only the mighty Fauxi knows for sure....and he ain’t talkin’.
He’s gonna take it with him all the way to the grave.

[eyedigress]

Yep.

Let their slueths all research back to Canada and NC.

Let us all see what Dr. “Pandemic” Fauci has been doing for 40 years.

CIA knows.

[EastTexasTraveler]

The origin is only hazy to the Ass. Press. It is very obvious it came from the Chinese lab which was illegally funded with our tax dollars by Fauci.

[one guy in new jersey]

Dead right.

If it’s “unclear” at this point in time, it’s because somebody wants it that way.

Really hate that word in news stories. Anything with a passive voice, or a 1984 doublespeak stripe to it, just sticks out in contexts like this, and flat out says: “I am lying.”

[Steve_Seattle]

I could be wrong, but wasn’t the lab-leak theory largely based on the claim that the genetic makeup of the Corona virus was considerably different from anything observed in nature, which would give credibility to the idea that it escaped from a lab where gain-of-function research was being done?

[sauropod]

Precisely.

[Steve_Seattle]

Right on schedule, the MSM push back. You’d almost think they are following orders from somebody. At the very list, they all have the same instincts and the same agenda.

[joe fonebone]

Really??!?!
REALLY?!?!?!
Back in early 2020, you had 2 choices as to what to believe...
1) It was released from the nearby bio lab, or
2) Some guy ate a bat out of a barrel of water..

Only a true low IQ idiot believed #2.

[one guy in new jersey]

He’s already taken it with him all the way to the bank.

[Boogieman]

“COVID-19 conspiracies soar”... after the government admits there may be merit to COVID-19 conspiracies.

[lgjhn23]

“...He’s already taken it with him all the way to the bank....”

LOL...ain’t that the truth.
IF ever there was a crook that needed bustin’, it’s that guy.
