After Trump claimed the Corona Virus was likely leaked from a lab in China, Libs went out of their way to say he was wrong. They had no proof, they just had to oppose Trump. Now we have gotten to the point where claiming that Covid was leaked from a lab is somehow considered xenophobic, which makes even less sense, so it is of course a Liberal stance. But 27 scientists claim that the virus could very well have come from a lab in China since we never properly investigated it, despite what the WHO claims.
“MIT Technology Review reports that “A group of 26 scientists, social scientists, and science communicators… have now signed their own letter arguing that WHO investigators lacked ‘the mandate, the independence, or the necessary accesses’ to determine whether or not SARS-CoV-2 could have been the result of a laboratory incident.” The letter was in response to a letter from 27 other scientists published in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet, insisting that SARS-CoV-2 had a natural origin, and dismissing any alternate theories as conspiracy theories that create “fear, rumors, and prejudice.”
The article centers on Nikolai Petrovsky, a professor at Flinders University and founder and chairman of a company called Vaxine that develops immunizations for infectious diseases. Petrovsky has received tens of millions of dollars in grant funding from the NIH to support vaccine development over the years, so it’s not like he’s some fringe nutjob. But for the sin of positing that there’s a chance the virus escaped from a Wuhan lab, he’s been called a conspiracy theorist, ridiculed, and shunned by some in the scientific community.”
Petrovsky claims he was going to release his findings much earlier but politics got in the way.
“But in late April 2020, as Petrovsky’s group was thinking about where to publish their work, “Trump blurted out” that he had reason to believe the virus came out of a Chinese lab, Petrovsky says. And at that point, he adds, much of “the left-wing media” decided “they were going to paint the whole lab thing as a conspiracy theory to bring down Trump.”
Everyone that investigated to see if COVID came from the Wuhan lab benefitted from the lab staying open and the continued funding that we send. So of course the lab was cleared by the WHO and Chinese officials. But if we were to send independent investigators, which China would never allow, we would likely find that this whole pandemic came from that lab in Wuhan.
