Ron Desantis is partially correct.
SARS-CoV-2 did not escape from a lab, and there is no scientific evidence that shows that it is anything other than a bat virus that crossed over into humans. Its most likely route was through the wet markets which are still used extensively in China.
What the Chinese government did, early on, is try to hide the outbreak (because bad things like pandemics cannot arise in perfect Communist societies). They had a window to contain the outbreak, but instead persecuted doctors who tried to raise the alarm. And that early obfuscation and refusal to take action is what the Chicoms should be held accountable for.
The virologist who won the Nobel for the AIDs virus very much disagrees with that excuse put out by the Chinese. He said no way it was a naturally occuring virus, it was man made in a lab. Also, there was a journal in India that published their evidence that it was man made. Lo and behold, they soon were forced to retract the article. In response, the French Nobel winner said, paraphrased, that he was old and already had an established reputation and had no need to retract his statements like others who had been forced to.
“Ron Desantis is partially correct.
SARS-CoV-2 did not escape from a lab,”
Yes, it did, either by accident or deliberately. And Ron knows it. Most of us do. And Ron also knows about Fauci secretly funding Gain Of Function research on coronaviruses by that lab.
The virus was a natural one, but modified by the Wuhan Lab to be more contagious (and possibly more deadly) in humans. And Fauci funded it.
Fauci knows his secret is getting out, too. He couldn’t hide the money trail well enough, even with the cutout org he laundered the cash through.
And Ron Desantis knows all this, and is starting to talk about it. But like the well trained JAG officer he was, he waits until he can back it all up with evidence before making accusations.
And china will do anything to keep him out of the oval office.
There’s no evidence that it came through the wet markets. I’v always felt that it was a bat virus that the Chinese were studying in a lab, maybe they might have tweaked with it a little, and a accident occurred.
So was it the willingness of the Butchers of Beijing to allow international observers into Wuhan that causes you to believe that the virus wasn’t accidentally (or deliberately) released?
