That's a huge pile of BS. You should get sued for libel.
Not to mention that what you say doesn't make any sense.

Sued by who? The communists?

Why? What better way to create a pandemic than by contaminating the very things people turn to for protection.

Yes, for instance.

The masks are tested and distributed randomly. When they make them in the factory they don't know where they will end up. Here in Europe random mask shipments are tested all the time, some have been confiscated, but not because they were infected, but because of missing CE certification. Like with any products that are manufactured in such massive numbers, there will occasionally be a defect lot.

Nor is there any foundation for your claim as such.
To the contrary, it is pretty obvious from the numbers worldwide that where people are not strict, the number of cases and deaths increases more strongly.

There are various factors to consider, though. Age, population density, poverty, existing health problems, etc. And just a few days ago there was an interesting article saying that according to geneticists people that have certain genes on chromosome 3 are almost twice as likely to end up in hospital. The genes in question are from Neanderthals. There has long been speculation about the impact of Neanderthal admixture on our immune system. Africans and East Asians overwhelmingly don't have those Neanderthal genes in chromosome 3, but in South Asia they are very common, up to 60% of the population In Europeans (and hence probably white Americans as well) the number was 16% if I remember correctly.

"Yan did claim that SARS-CoV-2 was made in a lab, but the suggestion is false, misleading, and based on a non-peer-reviewed report that was published in pre-print server Zenodo, which means that the research had not gone through rigorous editorial critically evaluated by scientific experts with an extra degree of scrutiny. Research that has not been peer-reviewed is akin to a blog — anyone can publish one online with little expertise."

False and misleading. On CD? Come on now !

No Wuhan lab was funded by the US. That accusation was already proved wrong months ago.

So? It stands to reason that Europe would get them first since transit time is generally shorter than to the US. Plus, when trying to create a global pandemic, does it really matter where they go?

Tested for coronavirus?

So that's a no.

Do you realize how much the communists have been attacking the western world? Look at something a lot more complicated, computer chips. It's basically been confirmed that the communists have been planting malware directly into certain chips that ship out of China! Do you really think sprinkling a virus on some masks and gloves is out of reach of them?

Look at Georgia vs New York, New Jersey, California. Look at Argentina.

Chinese virologist says she'll release evidence proving COVID-19 was made in Wuhan laboratory

A Chinese scientist who reportedly fled her home country out of fear for her safety has said that she intends to release evidence proving that SARS-Cov-2 did not arise in nature but was actually manufactured in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Virologist Li-Meng Yan claims to have done some of the earliest work on COVID-19 when it first emerged in China last year. She has said she left China in April and that she is currently in hiding in the U.S.

On the British ITV television show "Loose Women" on Friday, Yan said she intends to release evidence showing "why this has come from the lab in China, why they are the only ones who made it."

yawn. Do you have a more credible reference than "justthenews.com?" That website is run by a far-right conspiracy theory nut job, John Solomon.

Get back to us when a more credible, unbiased source talks about this. I've seen nothing about it on Fox News.

That doesn't make any sense. The pandemic started in one of their big cities. If China had wanted to cause a pandemic, they would have started it abroad, not in their own country.

Also, masks are not chips. Those masks take weeks to get here to the West, the virus dies off within 5 days or so, on most surfaces much sooner.

There does seem to be a risk of longer survival of the virus on frozen foods, there have been a few frozen food shipments to China that were infected. And it makes sense because freezing is used to keep organic things fresh. But masks don't get frozen.
