They'd rather blame it on China as try to get us into a war with China because China threatens the western billionaire elites. Thing is, I hate these elites, so it's hard for me to take sides in this conflict.... all I really have to say is I wish both sides the best of luck! May the most powerful win! One dictator killing off another dictator... call the whambulance. Ever since Biden took office the western elites have basically lost any support I had left for them. They continue to lie using the media, cancel culture, promote narratives, be blatantly hypocritical in their behavior, and almost flaunt the fact that they can do this.

Is anyone going to say anything about that? Shouldn't there be some accountability?

What say you?
Does that make this the “Trump” virus? It did happen under his watch.

Nobody is talking about it because it's next-level tinfoil hat nonsense.

There is not one shred of evidence supporting the OP's claim. It's just the musings of a conspiracy theorist's brain run amok. If anyone should be embarrassed, it should be the people who buy into this utter nonsense.

The NIH and Daszak (EcoHealth Alliance) started to cook up the bat soup in 2015, then outsourced the GOF research to Wuhan in 2017:

Sorry to break your bubble.
Thanks for posting the article.

Here was my favorite part...

Quote:
In October 2014, the Obama administration imposed a moratorium on new funding for gain-of-function research projects that could make influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses more virulent or transmissible. But a footnote to the statement announcing the moratorium carved out an exception for cases deemed “urgently necessary to protect the public health or national security.”

In the first year of the Trump administration, the moratorium was lifted and replaced with a review system called the HHS P3CO Framework (for Potential Pandemic Pathogen Care and Oversight). It put the onus for ensuring the safety of any such research on the federal department or agency funding it. This left the review process shrouded in secrecy. “The names of reviewers are not released, and the details of the experiments to be considered are largely secret,” said the Harvard epidemiologist Dr. Marc Lipsitch, whose advocacy against gain-of-function research helped prompt the moratorium. (An NIH spokesperson told Vanity Fair that “information about individual unfunded applications is not public to preserve confidentiality and protect sensitive information, preliminary data, and intellectual property.”)
So in a nutshell, Obama may be at fault for supporting "Gain of Function" but Trump removed any transparency from the process. And here we are. Due to Trump policy we don't know what the heck happened over there.

yes, I've heard of it, but I thought he was bringing up something relevant to the topic and within our lifetime. Who knew I had to stand up to tyranny from 200 years before I was born!

just ask Fauci. I'm sure he knows what happened in Wuhan. Maybe the Canadians too since chinese nationals smuggled gain of function viruses out of the Winnepeg nat lab to Wuhan in 2019. They were eventually fired.
