So, you still think Covid came from Bats?

As you know I'm on the same page with adav8s28 on this. However, hypothetically suppose that Andersen leans toward believing that COVID 19 is the product of gain of function research in the Wuhan lab. What's he going to say? If he and other colleagues piss off the Chinese, then they're potentially cut off from getting any information out of China or working with the Chinese to make the world a safer place. You've got a lot of people in China living on top of each other, wet markets, etc. It's a breeding ground for deadly viruses. Here are WHO updates on ones since 2000:

You'll have to excuse my skepticism on this but I don't have any faith in the idea that the Chinese will cooperate with us on finding the origin of this regardless of what we say or how, especially if they had any sort of culpability. Do you really?

I'm also skeptical that doing this type of research actually does make us safer. So was the Obama administration. So are the 3.7 mil who died.

A bunch of clowns arguing about this on a hooker board isn't going to change anyone's mind about the issue. We'll have to leave that to science and it's practitioners. But, science won't and can't find the answer if it is prevented from pursuing legitimate avenues of inquiry by claims of racism or by associating them with the Carnival Barker in Chief.

No fake why do think there microchip shortages.

I'll phrase it in a question: Why IS IT that 99% of the pharmaceuticals dispensed in the U.S. are being developed and manufactured in China? And will continue to be so until the DimWits get out of control over the pharma industry in the U.S.

It is refreshing that there are some interested professionals who desire to obtain the documents that have been safely shrouded over the years with respect to the concerted effort to reduce the costs to the U.S. pharma companies while avoiding domestic controls over research, development, manufacturing, and approvals by the U.S. government agencies overseeing that process.

A problem exists with the "big tech" censorship hounds who are systematically removing from the internet access the articles and research documents that have been "published" in the past that would disclose the campaign to shift the pharmaceutical business overseas.

The same loons want open U.S. borders, but must deal with a country whose borders are CLOSED to oversee the pharma business. So to cover up their incompetence and total disregard for the U.S. public they blame it all on a bat.

What happened to the "baboon"? Looks too much like their cousins?

Or were you too busy pretending to know what you don't and reading MIT articles?

The pharma companies register their DESIGNS of those cells with the U.S. government to protect them ... so all you have to do is a little research to discover the reality ... unless the current administration has sealed them!

Does it really surprise any critical thinkers on here that the same LOONS fabricating this BAT THEORY are the same ones who consistently advocated the RUSSIAN COLLUSION LIE? And did I mention the HUMAN GLOBAL WARMING THEORY?

They belong to the PROTECT CHINA CLUB!

I recommend "Unsettled" by Steven E. Koonin. He IS a scientist. Not for the Covid19 CELL, but for the broader viewpoint of the bullshit OUR GOVERNMENT publishes to satisfy foreign governments like CHINA! He actually reviews the DATA accumulated on "global warming" and what is published and what is not. Any one who claims that topic to be "settled" by "consensus" is an extreme fool.

If you established it was transmitted to humans from a wet market or a bat cave, maybe you can put pressure on China and other countries to shut down wet markets or make people wear protective gear when they enter caves. There are people here in Texas who visit bat caves with nothing more than a hard hat, without even masks.

The Wuhan lab was notoriously unsafe;

You're handwringing.

The Wuhan lab's history of safety protocol violations was discussed over a year ago. The people who discussed it were deemed "conspiracy theorists". Senator Cotton discussed intel reports that suggested the virus originated at the Wuhan lab. Again, "conspiracy theorists." Chinese scientists who worked at the lab basically admitted that the virus came from it. Again, "conspiracy theorists."

There is no "bringing them up to our standards" and I don't even know what "our standards" are. You are worse than naïve.

There are multiple problems. The big one is any enforcement and correction of the problem isn't going to happen. The media is going to yell "TRUMP" and "CONSPIRACY THEORISTS" and along with the ChicomDemocratic media complex shout down any disinters and embrace the WHO, UN, "anonymous sources" or other corrupt US bureaucracies that distract from Chinese guilt. Witness the last year and a half.

Right now every American should be asking "where's my COVID check from the Chinese govt?"

IMHO, it is not the "PROTECT CHINA CLUB!". I think it's more of a "PROTECT MY INCOME STREAM FROM CHINA CLUB!"

Besides the fact that this is a classic "close the barn door after the horse is gone" syndrome, just how exactly do you and the other members of the PROTECT CHINA CLUB intend to "bring them up to our standards"?

Seriously?!? The first step in the classic twelve step program is admitting you need help. Let go of the wet market. You fell for for it. It's as simple as that. Kick that neuron out of your brain pan and on to the floor, then do a Mexican hat dance on it, then call the EPA to come clean up the toxic waste residual of it. You still won't be ready to go all John Wayne on China, but at least you will be able to replace that neuron with stern words from Joey "Where am I" XiDen

If the powers that be ignore the wet markets and bat caves they could be setting us up for another pandemic. The right answer isn’t necessarily the one that’s politically expedient. You’ve got people in China who believe the COVID virus was created by the U S military and intentionally unleashed in Wuhan. You’ve got people in the USA who believe the Chinese created and intentionally unleashed the virus on the world. They’re both being misled by their politicians, leaders and media. I’d say this is how wars get started, but there aren’t enough people who believe COVID is a biological weapon to make that happen.

I vaguely recall that critical mass can be as small as one. Leastwise, that's what I gleaned from a song written about the evening of April 18, 1775. While not necessarily a rousing ditty, it goes something like this:

By the rude bridge that arched the flood
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.

I mean, if you're into music and whatnot.

Now you are selecting "pixels"! The "income" is here ... the pharma companies didn't keep their dough in China from the Rx and NonRx sales in the U.S. and through the U.S. aka government pass through efforts. The little people on here .... don't have a clue.
