So, I am following the media (not just any media talking heads and writers, but Experts) telling viewers, listeners and readers that “We need an investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic so we can know what happened and how to prevent it from happening again.”
Really?
If Nicholas Wade in his earth-moving (or is it butt-moving since it got some asses in gear?) article seemed to set the stage pretty well -- currently, the preponderance of the evidence points to the Novel Coronavirus as having escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. From there, the rest is history (and the future, too. Funny how that happens.)
Okay -- let’s assume that his escape-from-lab story is true.
Per the article, it would appear that the escape occurred because in a BSL2 lab, Chinese scientists successfully manipulated a less pathogenic virus into a more pathogenic one that needed BSL4 precautions, and it escaped before the Do-It-Right Virus Mover Co. of Hubei Province could arrive. Thus, we pretty much know how it happened.
If this is the case, then the answers from any investigations re: prevention, would be obvious:
1. Have the world’s virologists see the Jurassic Park franchise. (Spoiler Alert! Do not try to resurrect/create dinosaurs. It does not end well. Every time.)Hence, do not do gain-of-function research on viruses. It may not end well. If it makes the public feel better, you can give them a written test after seeing the flicks to determine if the lesson was learned.
2. If you are going to perform gain-of-function research on viruses, do it always in a BSL4 lab in case you succeed.
I can see the arguments:

YES
Escape from a Wuhan lab? No it was an attack.
Democrats are more concerned about investigating Trump.
The least we could do is fire the liar and traitor Fauci
You have an ageing population in China and the Boomers headed into twilight...someone may have wanted to diffuse the looming cost of a LOT of sick old people but the bug got loose before intended. Just a thought. I wouldn’t put anything past anyone anymore.
THAT BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19
Effort praised by CCP scientist doing so

Here’s that compliment paid to the CCP by the Biden campaign for bringing in the virus which they admitted really helped fix it to get Biden elected http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
THIS WAS GOING ON WHILE CCP SCIENTISTS WERE WORKING ON COVID
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership, wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so.
All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump. In totalitarian political circles this strategy has been reported to be frequently considered Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide and they should be made to pay

Yes, perfect, so long as the media continue to cover for it.
Ha!! Unless/until Fauci is prosecuted ….”Perfect Crime” is exactly what this whole thing is … and has been!!
I had the same thought, reading the article. I wouldn't put anything past those greasy slant-eyed bastards.
It certainly did seem to come along at just the right time. What's not known is whether the response was orchestrated, or simply a natural reaction.
the results were fantastic! there will be to come ..
....someone may have wanted to diffuse the looming cost of a LOT of sick old people but the bug got loose before intended.....
I think the timing was just right, to kill economies, worldwide, and to steal an election, in the USA, due to the *Covid necessitated* mail-in ballots.
(NOTE: It is important to keep in mind this article is hosted on the website run by the stupid 'Doomsday Clock' anti-nuclear scientists, so I don't know if one of them wrote the article:
"...From early on, public and media perceptions were shaped in favor of the natural emergence scenario by strong statements from two scientific groups. These statements were not at first examined as critically as they should have been.
“We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin,” a group of virologists and others wrote in the Lancet on February 19, 2020, when it was really far too soon for anyone to be sure what had happened. Scientists “overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife,” they said, with a stirring rallying call for readers to stand with Chinese colleagues on the frontline of fighting the disease.
Contrary to the letter writers’ assertion, the idea that the virus might have escaped from a lab invoked accident, not conspiracy. It surely needed to be explored, not rejected out of hand. A defining mark of good scientists is that they go to great pains to distinguish between what they know and what they don’t know. By this criterion, the signatories of the Lancet letter were behaving as poor scientists: They were assuring the public of facts they could not know for sure were true.
It later turned out that the Lancet letter had been organized and drafted by Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance of New York. Daszak’s organization funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. If the SARS2 virus had indeed escaped from research he funded, Daszak would be potentially culpable. This acute conflict of interest was not declared to the Lancet’s readers. To the contrary, the letter concluded, “We declare no competing interests...”
And then there is this article that was linked from within the above article:
"...Nature magazine has censored over 1,000 articles at the request of the Chinese government over the past several years, and runs columns sponsored by outside interests. And it seems pretty clear that their recent article, “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” is just one more example of their influence. China bought off the head of Harvard’s chemistry department, you don’t think they could buy off run-of-the-mill research scientists scrambling for tenure and funding and publication? It’s absolutely horrific that so many scientists and researchers are taking part in what’s really clearly a disinformation campaign orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party, and willfully spreading a smokescreen about something that’s already killed thousands and is projected to kill millions more across the planet.
And while the mainstream corporate media mindless regurgitates claims from the Chinese government that are falsifiable with the simplest of google searches, allowing the public to be lulled into a false sense of security and complacency, and Reddit rapidly censors and moderates anything that might indicate that this virus leaked from a Chinese lab and so the Chinese government is to blame for this pandemic – sites like ZeroHedge, that have been at the forefront of keeping the lines of investigation open, have been banished from Twitter and marginalized..."
On both of these, the point I take from them is that information, dissemination, and "informed discourse" of information is heavily controlled by Communist China via purse strings, and executed by Big Tech and a Media that appear to be wholly in their pockets.
I don't think it is too much of a stretch to say we have given them the rope by which they mean to hang us.
Great ping; post. thanks. BUMP!
That quote by Upton Sinclair is appropriate here: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
great quote. thanks.

Thanks, FRiend.
It is disconcerting. But, they recognized that they could use money against us, even if, as Communists, they think only the party should prosper.
