the origin of the virus tormenting the world remains shrouded in mystery.

No. It doesn't.

Most scientists believe it emerged in the wild and jumped from bats to humans, either directly or through another animal. Others theorize it escaped from a Chinese lab.

Please ignore the remarkable coincidence that a level-4 virus lab just happened to be in Wuhan.

It came from bats that lived far away from Wuhan. Then the bats flew to Wuhan and played with gain of function research at the virology laboratory. They took the manipulated virus to a wet market, dropped it on some food and flew back home.

there’s no evidence that this virus was in a lab

It appeared first in Wuhan. That is evidence enough.

The so called VIRUS did no such thing you stupid little presstitute, GOVERNMENTS used it as a Hammer to Torment the people.

Now can we talk about repealing 19? and maybe we just need some common sense Licensing and Regulations on Commercial Speech for Compensation or Gain, because falsehoods like this deserve punishment

“The Associated Press” Says it all. No need to read further.

That statement makes the guy below happy, so happy that he’s willing to give those scientists grants for future study. Just don’t stray from the party line, comrades.

Since COVID-19 emerged, many types of animals have gotten infected

Among other things, this means that we will never achieve "herd immunity".

Perhaps because I’m not a virologist I don’t get it. So many indirect pieces of evidence it was from the lab:

Was in middle of Winter when bats don’t fly, bats associated with the virus 900 miles away. Bats don’t even like cities.

Lab requested enhanced air ventilation system weeks before the outbreak

Satellite imagery showed greatly increased parking lot use at Wuhan labs even at night, in days before outbreak

Increased cell phone usage same time

Some of first victims worked at lab

Chinese virologist took bat samples from the “guano mine” that killed miners and sent to Wuhan

Some Chinese whistleblowers like Meng Li (name?) Yan testified the virus was engineered and released intentionally

Failure of Chinese authorities to cooperate

Chinese authorities destroyed evidence, deleted data

Chinese whistleblowers “disappeared”

Proven ability to hide genetic engineering

Many previous safety leaks at Chinese labs

Probably as many I’ve forgotten that I’ve listed here…..

That was my automatic response as well.

Referring to the Chinese Communists as “animals” is racist….but I’m okay with that.

but “there’s no evidence that this virus was in a lab"

False -

- the virus shows structures never seen in Nature before

- the first corona outbreak occurred less than 20 miles from the Wuhan lab

- that lab had some of its workers "get sick" with corona in October 2019 - three months before it hit the US

- similar viruses "disappeared" from the Winnipeg Biolab where 2 Commie-Chinese researchers worked ... those 2 researchers are now under arrest by the RCMP and the Cdn. Gvmt. is going to court to prevent anyone (even our Parliament) knowing anything about why they were removed

** ignore the AP disinformation, all the signs DO point to a lab leak

Take a look at this marionette’s bio—and tell me how you can be surprised that he jumps when his strings are pulled:

Anyone who doesn’t understand it came from the Wuhan lab also thinks masks work and that Fauci is a real scientist.

More AP disinformation. I’m sure Fauci is pleased.
