Its about time the truth is revealed. So what should the world do to China?

https://nypost.com/2021/08/12/covid-...who-scientist/

The first person infected with COVID-19 could have caught the virus from a bat while working at the controversial Wuhan virology lab — but Chinese officials pressured the World Health Organization to drop the theory during a probe into the pandemic’s origins, according to an astonishing admission from a WHO scientist.

In the stunning reversal, Dr. Peter Ben Embarek, who initially dismissed the lab leak theory as “extremely unlikely,” said he now considers the possibility a “probable hypothesis,” according to the Washington Post, which cites a documentary airing on Danish television channel TV2.


And probable hypothesis means this:


1 : supported by evidence strong enough to establish presumption but not proof a probable hypothesis. 2 : establishing a probability probable evidence. 3 : likely to be or become true or real probable outcome

“An employee who was infected in the field by taking samples falls under one of the probable hypotheses,” Ben Embarek told the interviewers.
This... is not the same as a lab leak. Do you get that?

Did you not get this far into the article?

You're splitting hairs.

You're also missing the larger trend being formed as new information comes out. It's leading somewhere. We haven't reached the end of the line yet. Look at where it's going.

It leaked out of the lab. Of course it is the same thing. That is what the lab leak theory is. The official line has been it came from a bat at the wet market nearby.

Perhaps the lab leak was not an accident?

Worldwide boycott of their goods. Basically cut them off from the world. That is the bare minimum. But start by insisting that they open the lab to a full international inspection. Full access to interview everyone who worked there at the time. Give them one chance to make this right.

Changing from it's not a possibility to it is a possibility is not what amounts to stunning. Many have done the same since the lab leak cannot be eliminated.
