get lost, asshole.

Don't bother using logic with him. He's already point blank stated he only cares about "me, me me" and not others. The irony is that a a lot of the anti-vax, anti-mask crowd will call themselves "patriots". Yet no true "patriot" only cares about themself.

This - 100%.

To those of you who gave me a hard time for this prediction circa 1 year to 1 year 2 months ago (you know who you are). Kindly suck it.

Gottlieb says there's growing circumstantial evidence that Covid may have originated in a lab

With other coronaviruses, SARS and MERS, researchers were able to identify the animal those diseases emerged from at this point in those outbreaks.

I believe it did..but no evidence for or against it has come up. I find it weird that for some its an impossibility.

the fact that 2 lab workers went to the hospital with covid symptoms in November of 2019 is a good start. Maybe we should be looking inside that lab, if they have not gotten rid of any evidence.

Take a look inside a state run, bio-chemical research lab that is working on most likely weaponizing virus stains? I am sure they will just invite the US right in to check out what they are doing. I mean communist China has always been so open to scrutiny. LOL

You can bet that everything's gone that can be gone. Frankly I'm surprised a handful of scientists havent "disappeared" yet, but that might be coming. China took their public library of viruses off-line late September 2019 if you want another bit of highly suspicious circumstantial evidence. And the road to the cave in southern China where the bats with the most similar strain to COVID19 live, has been blocked off & is under guard. The WSJ reported that one journalist managed to make it to the cave entrance circumventing the road by bicycle & had his camera confiscated. All very non-suspicious of course.

I wonder how China will (likely let) this play out, especially with the 2022 Winter Olympics coming up in less than a year with Beijing as the host city.

Do they let the truth (or some portion of it to their desire come out if it was indeed a man made virus that escaped) out soon and deal with the repercussions on the world stage and try and host the Olympics successfully.

Or do they take the risk the somehow the truth won't get out and put their leadership in the position where the ire of so much of the world is directed at them, including the likely boycott of the Olympics that could ensue and how that would certainly tarnish their image on the World's Stage?

Not exactly the best of options of the etiology of COVID does indeed be shown to be of lab origin.....

Not a chance. After the outbreak, China stopped domestic flights & allowed international flights, they started procuring PPD globally which screwed other nations over, delayed alerting global healthcare authorities about the virus, denied it was p2p transmissible, etc.. so there is 0% chance China admits anything.

And given all that matters in this world is money, China will be allowed to host the Olympics no problem. Just ask John Cena, whose Hollywood handlers today forced him to issue an apology to China for acknowledging Taiwanese statehood. Yet another reminder that "woke Hollywood" will trade support of slavery & human rights violations for cash.

The fact that countries play around with germ warfare is amazing. Its not a very directed weapon. Once its out..it spreads..possibly right back to whoever sent it out. We shouldn't be playing around with these things. But..we do. I can just imagine what Russia cooks up.

 

[deadheadskier]

Nah

Russia is OG dirty. They just straight up poison any adversaries to the state and then gaslight and deny

Cool what do you think Putin's interest is in purchasing Jay Peak and/or Burke.

Putin is crackin' up over the Political Trash Talking Covid Denying Idiots.

Keep it coming. Great reading. Ha Ha

Those mask mandates may have been useless:

Mask mandate and use efficacy in state-level COVID-19 containment

Background Containment of the COVID-19 pandemic requires evidence-based strategies to reduce transmission. Because COVID-19 can spread via respired droplets, many states have mandated mask use in public settings. Randomized control trials have not clearly demonstrated mask efficacy against...

I find it interesting - MA had an outdoor mask mandate which did not make sense to us. We generally only masked up indoors. We did get some looks for sure. Now the outdoor mask mandate has been lifted and we see people wearing masks everywhere. That must be do to lack of knowledge and they have not heard the news or they are fearful. I do not understand it otherwise.

Rural MA - NO Masks, most people
Downtown Boston - Everyone is still wearing masks

The "COVID fear porn factor" in some is very high, and will take a long time for it to go away in some select folks for sure.

One can certainly make the case that at times, the leanings of one preferred news sources were an advantage to get people to take COVID seriously, whereas now as the urgent, emergency status of the COVID pandemic shifts into a non emergency endemic situation for this country, many of those same news sources that scared the living daylights out of some, will have a tough time getting those same people to accept that it actually is OK to live a pretty normal life again.
