They were putting bat virus spike into mouses and it wasn't from the covid family of coronaviruses anyway.

When your argument depends on the audience not knowing anything, that's called an appeal to ignorance. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It sounds like "China!" but with extra steps.

sorry it's 1934 and you are saying the nazi party is probably OK and all the rumors are fake.

Science is political now both sides.

parties went down the drain.

Ah, no "serious" scientists. "Serious" scientists are the ones who agree with you, I presume.

No true scottsman believes this!

The NIH *admitted it*. Dear lord. How wedded to your ideology are you?

The only scientist I trust is that Republican lady who was screaming about demon sperm at the hydroxychloroquine presser ✝️

What the hell are you talking about? Sars-cov-2 *IS* the current pandemic virus. It causes the disease known as Covid-19. You follow? You're thinking of Sars-cov-1, colloquially known as just "SARS" which was a briefly-lived virus in 2004. Technically it does still exist, but almost nobody gets it. "SARS" was much more deadly than Covid-19, but much less contagious. So they kind of have an inverted relationship.

The NIH admitted they were funding gain of function research in wuhan. *They* admitted it. How much more will it take for you to accept it's not some wacky right wing conspiracy theory? Gain of function is the process of manipulating a natural virus to make it more transmissible and more dangerous to humans, in an effort to develop more effective defenses against such viruses.

Their excuse is essentially "well, err, we didn't realize at the time that's what it was. And fauci didn't lie exactly, cause he didn't know at the time either! derp!". Like, are these people professionals? They apparently don't even *KNOW* what they're funding??

Keep blaming everything on republicans though, and all the mental gymnastics that entails. Rand Paul was totally right about this, get over it.

I did slip up with the 1 and 2 admittedly but that doesn't change that we have had other instances of Coronavirus in the past causing death to millions in the 1800s.

Others have been infected in the past if not months before the most recent Coronavirus was first reported.

I assuredly can blame Republicans on there absolutely horrible means of handling this Pandemic. Our nation was one of the worst to handle this pandemic, if not the worst.

There were so many times the previous Republican administration suppressed, hid or mismanaged it. Hell, Jared Kushner's team did some of worst heinous things:

"Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner's team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. "The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy."

And you conveniently left out the part the NIH reported:

NIH chief Francis Collins insists none of the bat viruses studied under this grant could “possibly have caused the COVID-19 pandemic.”

So yes I very much am blaming the party in charge of actually trying to do the worst job possible to manage the pandemic that killed over 600K Americans.

And not just the previous administration many Republicans who are anti-mask and more still are to blame.

Regardless of whether it was the origin of COVID, there are labs in developed countries who are tinkering with viruses not to make weapons but in an attempt to understand them better and to defend against them better

It is inevitable that occasionally due to accident or unforeseen circumstances these will end up getting out

We had the Chernobyl disaster and the entire world took notice and took steps to prevent another one. Then Fukushima happened anyway
