This thread is so full of unfounded conspiracy theories, it should be titled:
"SILLY CONSPIRACY THEORIES!"
It amazes me that people get hung up on where it came from. Personally ,as a scientist I think its a natural mutation, but even if engineered as a biological weapon (again, I haven't seen proof), how can the administration's response be justified?

Thanks for your response Tiny. I do not believe covid was engineered and purposely unleashed on us by China. So, no need for retaliation. I Do believe that the administrations response to the natural threat was irresponsible at best considering the revelations of the Woodward tapes. I don't deny that I'm a scientist and believe in sound science, therefore, in my opinion, it's proven that we've been lied to from the beginning. I suspect, but can't prove, that it is ongoing.

Sure, travel from China was shut down, but consider travel from China to Russia or anywhere else in the the world as an intermediate leg..it's worldwide, not regional. Sorry, but blaming the country of origin is not an answer or curative response. Coupled with taped acknowledged intel of the danger of the virus, I call bullshit. If engineered, we were caught with our pants down (not the only time current POTUS has been in a similar situation), if not engineered, we were caught with our pants down...either way, didn't respond correctly to protect our taxpayers citizens, only those that don't pay taxes.
