He didn't know that the virus originated in a lab. He said in the hearing that it isn't clear. The majority of gov't agencies believe the natural mutation route is more probable. He was on salary at NIH. How did he profit? His book was published after he retired. Mask studies weren't available but droplet transmission was widely felt to be present and masks had been proven effective for this type of transmission. The amount of money that NIH granted China was minuscule and vastly i9nadequate to fund research to develop a novel virus. Watch his testimony before congress recently. All of this is addressed. I have no reason to believe he was lying. Now his opponents... 14 minutes ago, Tommy Callahan said: DEMS are big Corporation. Every sector. and their parrots always follow the corporate line. ALWAYS.

This can be seen as advice to the country that there is something you can do to try to slow the spread rather than cowering in fear at home alone. Really not different than Trump admitting to Woodward that his early overly optimistic proclamations were intended to stop a panic from happening. In retrospect, neither one was a good decision. Although it does appear that people generally did not panic, but rather kept calm and carried on. Edited June 18 by The Frankish Reich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) Mask effectiveness is not settled science. The Cochran review often given as definitive proof against masks is not accepted as such among many scientists/clinicians https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10484132/ “The Cochrane review mentioned many of its own limitations and weaknesses, particularly with regard to face masks and its limited number of robust studies; it, therefore, cautioned against drawing any strong conclusions. Given the strong opinions expressed about the study, Cochrane further clarified that their review should not be used as evidence against mask efficacy per se, noting that the data were not definitive and that masks might be effective at preventing respiratory virus infection.8” Edited June 18 by Joe Ferguson forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaCrispy Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 6 hours ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: hmmm.. a bit overstated but maybe what you perceive is because so many of us were Republicans. The real ones... This is true… There is a “big switch” happening now… The Dems, who used to be for the working class, unions, and civil liberties is now represented by more Republicans… However, there are still far too many Republicans, for my taste, who are globalists and Big Corp… We are also seeing minorities starting to switch parties as well…very interesting what’s happening…One for the history books…👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still believe the source of the virus was not the lab doing research on SARs in Wuhan which had previously been cited for poor security conditions, but you believe it came from the market despite there being no shown pathway from Bats to humans?

When did anyone insinuate he parachuted into the CIA? He knew they were running SARs test in Wuhan and still played up the wet market without mentioning the lab. If you can show me one person, even Alex Jones, who insinuated he parachuted in to the CIA I will stop believing you are gullible. As for the 4 of 6 agencies, can you show me there thoughts recently?

Your article stated that the virus was definitely passed around the market, which of course happened because it is a place of concentration of people. It literally says in the sub headline that there is no evidence the animals even had it much less were the source. The fact that so many previous virus came from animals is not news to anyone except extreme liberals, but that is unrelated to this discussion, unless your only goal is political and has to be a strawman argument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the recent testimony cited above, it’s always been clear that discussions of a lab leak have been looked down on, to the point of a NYT journalist calling people racists for believing it. If you prefer to align yourself with the natural origin story, have at it. I will keep an open mind but lean towards common sense on the matter.
