      2018 - June : Discovery of Novel Bat Coronaviruses in South China That Use the Same Receptor as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29669833/

      They published this paper , they were studying the virus family, in the lab , in the city that it first detected from. A lab knowing for not being up to code, have concern of Chinese government using it to work on biological weapons, among other things.

      At the end it doesn’t matter if it is from a lab or not and I am not sure why people get very offended by it. I understand if the cheesiness government tried to hide it, but people in the state calling people conspiracy theorist for suggestion that is crazy.

        Yes, and further studies have shown that the strains in the lab and the strain that became Covid 19 were too different to have come from the same place.

        We’re calling people conspiracy theorists because they’re peddling a conspiracy theory.

              The US Government Report ?? that mainly talk about the involvement of the USA cooperation with Wuhan lab, and searching for strain in the document doesnt bring anything useful to your claim??

              I was expecting at least a EU research or WHO reports explaining why “the strains are not the same” or a peer review article not something from the US government that politicized the whole thing that people are label conspiracy theorist for pointing out clear concern…

                The report is riddled with sources that aren’t government based. It’s filled with scientific data.

                Again, it’s just democrats saying listen to the scientists.

      Proof from the democratic party isn’t proof, they’re also corrupt and take lobbyist cash. There’s also reason to believe the ties between the US and China specifically researching these kinds of viruses in a lab in the same area as where the outbreak started is very suspicious and more reason to not believe the “old power” in the US.

      Not that Trump and Co is any better, they want to topple the old power to bring about even worse things.

        It’s not the democrats who are doing the tests and saying it wasn’t from a lab; it is scientists. Democrats are just saying the scientists are right

        Republicans themselves are calling themselves scientists and saying it was from a lab.

        See the difference yet?

        Stop peddling conspiracy theories.
