Can't revert to something you introduced dawg. My theory is that if it's found to be of lab origin, it was introduced by the u.s. government to destabilize china. donny is also known for projection so him introducing the accusation pretty early on doesn't help.

Well I'm gonna be honest, for me it did sound like an unlikely conspiracy theory, but the more the chinese fight this the more likely it sounds.

...we’re not talking about the lab leak theory now because there’s direct evidence for it, or even much evidence for it at all. We are talking about it because there is an ongoing scientific inquiry into how the pandemic started, and because a number of journalists are following those lines of inquiry or see talking about it as a corrective to past bias. Simply: There is a very small possibility that the virus came from a lab, a possibility some scientists (and now many other people) are interested in exploring further. A recent New York Times headline might sum it up best: “Scientists Don’t Want to Ignore the ‘Lab Leak’ Theory, Despite No New Evidence.” Or, as Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO Health Emergencies Programme, said Friday: “Over the last number of days, we have seen more and more discourse in the media, with terribly little actual news, or evidence, or new material, and this is disturbing.”

You mean headlines aren't evidence?

I know. Surprising, right?

I forget where I read this specific poll result - but the majority of US citizens do believe in zoonotic origin. The fact that there's a viral research lab that was working with Bat coronaviruses a block away from the wet market that COVID-19 purportedly originated from was not enough to raise a majority of eyebrows.

I believe it happened with the labs doing their testing..happened before and will happen again. They try to solve a problem like this time seems was the bats carrying around these virus's which they have been for yonks and end up being the spreaders of it....My Son had the virus before Xmas and ok he is not so ill and he was never hospitalized, but just not fit enough to return to work....just another stat though and just another figure that dont count.

Okay, now I think we've reached panic mode. I've done everything asked of me, I wear masks, I keep social distancing, I've gotten my vaccine, I will get the booster when I'm due, probably in January.

But now they're telling me I have to have a Covid test before my next medical appointment. There's a chance I may have to get a heart transplant and now they're giving me even more hoops to go through. Look, I get that the hospital is just trying to protect its staff and patients, but come on, already. There has to come a time when we have to function like normal human beings again.

And for all those morons who refuse to get a vaccine because they think Donald Trump is the second coming of Jesus or something, thus, making life more difficult for those of us that are trying to follow the rules. I'd rather you didn't take the shot. Maybe if enough of you die, you'll leave the rest of us the hell alone!
