The trump admin is already busy bending reality to its will.

A top Chinese official on Monday denied suggestions from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency that the Covid-19 pandemic was triggered by the virus leaking from a lab.

“The conclusion that a laboratory leak is extremely unlikely was reached by the joint China–WHO expert team based on field visits to relevant laboratories in Wuhan,” said Mao Ning, Beijing's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, at a press briefing, according to news agency AFP.

Mao added that “this has been widely recognized by the international community and the scientific community.” Several studies have said that the virus originated naturally, arguing it may have spread among people who were exposed to infected animals sold at a wet market in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

But officials in Washington have harbored suspicions that the virus may have originated in a lab, before leaking out to the general population and causing a pandemic that killed millions of people and sent much of the world into harsh lockdowns in 2020 and 2021.

Over the weekend, the CIA issued a new public assessment about Covid just two days after former Republican lawmaker John Ratcliffe was sworn in as its new director, in the new American administration under President Donald Trump.

I have no dog in this fight. I always felt the accusation about the lab leak was trump's way of distracting the public away from his incompetent response to COVID. Something he's very good at. But I looked at the debate over the source of COVID being more of scientific than political significance.

The larger concern here being a trump appointee already using his authority to change a CIA assessment to please the boss. Authoritarians benefit from controlling the flow of information. It's just another example of how trump is doing what authoritarians do. It comes quite naturally to him.

This is only the beginning, hopefully mainstream news organizations don't shirk their responsibility and fail to point out how our government sounds more and more like the Kremlin, one leader, one voice.

The overwhelming amount of evidence(and common sense) points to COVID leaking from a lab. You have been lied to in order to protect Fauci and others. It is amazing just what you people will believe.

Sez the CCP and the WHO....Now there's a couple of totally trustworthy sources!

The comparison to the Kremlin is an apt one. Establishing a singular voice is the goal. He wants truth to be a matter of opinion, not demonstrable reality. Because it serves his purposes.

The question I have, is do you think they did it on purpose or was it an accident? They harmed themselves more than anyone, if China did it on purpose, which I tend to find very hard to believe....

Bwahahaha, “I have no dog in this fight”….says the TDS moron.


Now you are pushing pro-CCP propaganda, “we didn’t do it!”


There is ZERO proof this virus came naturally from an animal. It was created in their Wuhan Lab, funded by Fauci. The first people to fall ill were literally scientists that worked there.

Three years into the COVID-19 pandemic, we are still debating whether it started with a natural spillover event or a lab leak. What are the merits of each of those theories?

The basis for the first one—that a virus circulating in the animal population “spilled over” into humans—is that about 75% of emerging infectious diseases are found to have spilled over from an animal. In the large outbreak of SARS-CoV-1, for example, civets were determined to be the source animal for the spillover. So that’s certainly a very legitimate concern.

The second possibility is that something happened involving a human accident—either scientists brought the virus from nature into the laboratory and accidentally infected someone who then spread it, or the virus was changed in some way in the lab that then led to the infection of a human and it spread from there. So when people say the laboratory was the source of infection, they mean something human-generated that was not intended.

Lab leak or spillover event? While it’s important to understand how the pandemic started, we should be working now to prevent both scenarios—either of which could spark a future pandemic.

It's clear that airliners full of people flying out of Wuhan, that Xi knew to be infected, was done on purpose.

When Progs and Republicans destroyed common men and women who ran as Tea Party candidates, you deserve no respect on opinions. Not agreeing on their views is much different than destroying their personalities.

How telling that you speciously accuse me of pushing pro-CCP propaganda (a predictable response) while the scientific community continues to struggle with answering the source question. Instead, pushing trumpian propaganda, as Radcliffe did.

There has been so much fucking noise about this, like everything else, and it's been so politicized, like everything else, that I'm glad I've only paid so much attention.

I remember some early talk, in the first few days, about a "wet market", whatever that is.

But since then, it's just been my understanding that it was a lab leak. Okay, got it.

It's a shame this country can no longer communicate with itself.

LOL, “the scientific community”….you mean all the shills that are bought and paid for by Big Pharma, which also owns the NIH and every single “medical association” these “scientists” work for?

You really have no clue how things work, do ya?

By the way, have any of these “scientists” shown us scientific proof the virus came from an animal by natural means? That ought to be easy, right? But of course they can’t prove that with science because it didn’t happen.

To save face with his own people, perhaps (and the world)? As China still seems to be doing today, if true? (Trump praised Xi's handling of COVID at the time....)
