#3Go back and listen to the exchanges between Rand Paul and Dr. Fauci... Fauci repeatedly lied before Congress regarding funding for this GoF research which now appears to have been the source of the virus. This shouldn't be a partisan issue... trust the science.

Yes, they funded GoF research at WIV. And it's founder Peter Daszak worked to undermine the lab leak theory as a member of the WHO COVID19 origins investigation team... can you say "conflict of interest"?

#7I could be missing something but this isn't exactly the smoking gun the title makes it seem. I'm sure there are proposals, plans and applications for all types of things. What I'm waiting for, perhaps naively, is strong evidence, revelated an independent investigation, that there was some foul business going on here. Until I see that, I'm more inclined to rely on the word of experts who have no connection to any of this. A novel aspect of a viral genome isn't enough for me to leap to the conclusion that it's human made.

It is reasonable & responsible to downplay theories that get constructed in absence of sufficient and meaningfully qualified evidence.

Every anti-chinese story on here usually gets flagged into oblivion(or page 2, even with plenty of upvotes), be it by bots or Chinese tech workers.
