How Distrust of Donald Trump Muddled the COVID-19 'Lab Leak' Debate



It requires a more neutral thinking process to investigate properly, or you bias the outcome.
Kmom is right. Hatred of Trump is no excuse for anything.

As I have mentioned before...military intelligence briefed last Jan/Feb time frame that it had in fact leaked from a Wuhan lab. I have had my bowl of popcorn since then watching the media flip flop and the sheeple calling everyone conspiracy theorists for believing it and now we seem to have come full circle, lol. Too funny.

I think the US would be completely and totally insane to go to war with China. It’s come out that the US did help fund gain of function research at the lab so I’m not sure blaming China solely makes sense either.

Who cares what the New York Times says or believes? The left call everything racist if you don't agree with them. They don't dictate what we believe. lol

We need to discuss the origin of the virus until we get the truth. We don't need something like this ever happening again and if there is something to help to prevent it, we need to get answers.

Don't care if any MSM or lefty calls you racist. Stick to what you believe and tune them out. They spit nothing but lies.

what do you call it when you hear them giggling, laughing, and applauding Biden?

Wishing the downfall of the U.S.

I do believe it was a lab accident, not biological warfare. They did not behave as the global citizen the Left in the U.S. insists we be.

The "lab leak" debate has been global, not just the US.

It has nothing to do with racism, Republicans or Trump himself.
The world does not revolve around US foolish politics.

Remember when the NYT was all white guys? Back when it was a well written and respected publication? I can see why that had to change.

Well, that pretty much describes both the NYT and the modern Democratic party.
