Either it came out of the lab in Wuhan, or it didn’t. Now do a little thought experiment: WHAT WOULD WE CHANGE if it turned out that it escaped from the lab where it was being studied as opposed to coming directly from the “wet market”?
I agree that if they had notified the world earlier, some of us might not have been so slow off the mark. But that’s my optimism speaking. Given who was in charge in many of the nations, it might even have been worse… because paranoia…
Conservatives just don’t get it. What Fauci wants is the truth. He has not stated that it has come from anywhere, he has suggested checking all relevant possibilities.
Fox Propaganda, under the direction of the Tangerine Palpatine, has stepped up an all-out attack on Fauci in order to discredit him based on contrived, out-of-context, and falsified accusations. The GQP falls in line.
Of course, FTucker Carlson (the person nobody should turn to for news) spearheads this effort on behalf of the Orange Foolius.
Baghdad Bok is just another of these anal fellating sycophants along with Ramirez, Payne, Goodwyn, and rest of the RWNJ head-bobbers (probably to increase the pleasure for the Rusted Rasputin).
The source is irrelevant once the Jinn is out ot the bottle, what counts is the intervention and mitigation! What did not help was the GOP/GQP acting like this would just blow over !
Dr Fauci was on Rachel Maddow last evening. "Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, talks with Rachel Maddow about the value of knowing how the Covid-19 pandemic began, to draw lessons to prevent future pandemics, but criticizes attacks on him personally by right-wing personalities as misleading and distorted. "
As usual, Chip Bok and the alt-right ignore that the former president totally mishandled the pandemic and over 500,000 died from those inactions. Just waiting until the Qnuts claim the Chinese were developing Covid-19 as a bioweapon….
The biggest mistake was made by the WHO who was very slow in demanding access to the lab in question. By the time their team was allowed to visit the premises, there was nothing left to see. Now the question is whether this is part of the Chinese nature or an attempt to deceive, Maybe we should ask THE ORANGE IDIOT? Wait, it’s in his nature to lie continually. It’s another SAD conundrum brought to you by THE IDIOT and his Repulsican Crime Family.
Swamp Creature Fauci belongs in an orange jump suit, that lying scumbag, along with the entire capitalist governments of Beijing, Washington, and Sacramento, all of whom could have but didn’t do ANYTHING to prepare for this shit show. Democrats, Republicans, all of them guilty of deliberate malfeasance.
Sigh…I’m getting a little tired of trying to explain how pandemics are known to occur and how long ago the first appearance of the bat virus in a human was detected. but here again is the general explanation. F’rgawdsake, will you guys read it and learn from it?
You’re implying a coverup. What Fauci has said over and over is that you go with the best information you have at the time. In a dynamic situation, your best information changes rapidly as new research comes in. Fauci said that it is highly unlikely, though not impossible, that the virus originated in a lab.
I have read, from a usually reliable source, about the source of the Wall Street Journal article last month that reported on the suspicious “illnesses” of three Wuhan Institute of Virology workers in November 2019 (which article seems to have initiated the recent interest in this theory of COVID-19 origination). The people who wrote that article were some of the same individuals who, in 2002, repeatedly asserted that weapons of mass destruction were spread throughout Iraq. This origin theory of COVID-19 may still be valid, but I would prefer a more reliable source for this information.
‘Ill-thought-out’: Miami Herald drops the hammer on DeSantis’ vaccine passport ban
DeSantis also placed a ban on COVID vaccine passports in his state. “Businesses in Florida are prohibited from requiring patrons or customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-transmission recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the business,” the governor’s order stated.
In fact, Norwegian Cruise Line CEO Frank Del Rio also shared his perspective on DeSantis’ controversial orders during a discussion with investors and cruise analysts. At the time, he asked, “Why is a pro-business governor standing in the way of one of the most important industries in the state from restarting?”
The question has yet to be answered as DeSantis does not appear to be backing down.

The Republicans sure seem to be out in force against Dr. Fauci. Maybe because he was trusted and popular?

There is nothing to see because the Trump admin closed the watch station in China just before the pandemic began.
Then the republicans lied and denied about covid and spread it everywhere.
Now the republicans are demanding China pay for the damage the republicans did.

Bok [ and by extension, ‘Creators.com’ ] cravenly demeans the hundreds of thousands who suffered needlessly premature deaths from COVID-19!

Dr, Fauci is an 80 year old Doctor who has more credibility in his little finger than the entire republican establishment, and that includes you.

The Republicans are targeting Fauci for purely political reasons. He is Trumps target, because Trump always has to have a target.

Now Dr. Fauci never said that. But you know who implied it, the entire Trump Admin as the virus spread across the US for over a year.
