Why is it so hard to believe that this virus came from a lab that creates and studies..this virus?
The minute I found out about the lab I pinned it on them...100% circumstantial evidence..but ..why not..it makes sense.
It's not hard to believe it COULD come from a lab.

But it's one thing to suspect something than to say it IS that, without evidence.

You come to an accident site, found someone bleeding and another standing nearby. The bystander maybe the cause of the accident, or a rescuer. Do you immediately jump all over that bystander and say "You hit that person, unless you can prove you didn't"?

Actually you look at skin color first before deciding.

If the person has orange skin you automatically think there guilty 😁😁😁😁

I thought that John Stewart, whom by no means was a fan of the previous administration, summed things up quite well during his appearnce on Colbert (also not a fan of the previous administration) from about a month ago.

If you haven't seen this before, it's worth the 8 or so minutes, and full of a mixtures of laughs as well as a few "start thinking for yourself please!" moments!

True, there might not be evidence that meets YOUR standard. Technically OJ didn't kill his wife and Bill Cosby didn't rape any women either, but you can put 2 and 2 together, as you can in the case of the lab

Equally, there're innocents in jail for crimes they didn't commit, just because the jury "put 2 and 2 together" on questionable "evidence".

The lab is literally right down the street from the outbreak. It's just a few kilometers, lol.

I got my vaccine but I’d never shame someone that is hesitant and has safety concerns.

If anything, I’d say people that shaming others for that and are emotional about others getting one are way too trustworthy of our government and big pharma. Like, almost embarrassingly naive.

Ever hear of these government run studies?

Here’s another time US citizens were told to line up for something sketchy. These are just two examples that popped into my head but I’d bet there’s a whole lot more.

All Anti-Covid vaxers really should be shamed unless they have legitimate health conditions that a DOCTOR suggests should give you pause. Real doctors, not Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones

If you think this is some kinda human experimentation Psyop at this point, you're a moron. And you are responsible for delaying a return to normal.

Well, that was aggressive.

all I said is it’s not that hard to understand or feel

All I’m saying is that it’s not that hard to understand people’s reluctancy, it’s called empathy.

I have no empathy for Anti-Covid vaxers

None

No quarter
“If the virus doesn’t kill ya then we will”
blood thirsty much?

there are numerous examples of this government experimenting on humans and if your relatives were involved in the experimentation you might be reluctant too

I don’t believe this is an experiment but I certainly understand there are legitimate personal experiences that make some people hesitant.

forcing people to take medical treatment against there will is such a disgusting thought to me.

You're right, probably should have let Polio, Smallpox etc run its course.

The examples of vaccination benefit to society FAR outpace the instances of Bill Gates 5G Big Pharma global conspiracies.

Look if people want to be dumb in the face of the overwhelming evidence that these vaccines are extremely beneficial to society, that's their choice.

But freedom works both ways. If businesses, schools etc, want to refuse service to those folks, that's fair too.

Right now you've got health systems in Florida and elsewhere having to shut down numerous operations and divert much of their resources AGAIN to Covid care. That's an unnecessary societal cost that there should be minimal tolerance for.

We should have patience and understanding for people who are gender confused (gender identity is just one example) and in some cases pay for them to have procedures, some would view as an “unnecessary societal cost”, to help them feel comfortable in this world but if your mentally retarded uncle was sent to Staten Island in the 50’s and given hepatitis you get “no quarter”?

caveat emptor: I have empathy for people who have gender identity issues as I do for all humans regardless of their condition
