    Below is a screen shot of what you'll see at the beginning of the video, a video which I'm surprised to see CNN air.

    Many of us believe the china virus came from, let's face it, China. But China has been trying to push blame for their virus onto Italy, Spain and India. Now the former director of the CDC says it's his belief the china virus came from a lab in China.

    Thoughts?

    If any country had a reason to develop a virus that kills mostly old people it would be China. Old people are more of a drain on the collective if you know what I mean.

    I don't honestly know what you mean. Would you care to explain that comment?

    The comment speaks for itself. If you want to add something go ahead.

    Well, Cuomo took advantage of it by killing off thousands of old people and cutting his state's medical costs.

    I hate to say that you are right, and I notice that it was liberal states that killed thousands of old people by packing them into nursing homes, along after we knew that CV19 was killing the hell out of old people. Cuomo said “They died.”

    If China wanted to kill off their old people they would have them all line up along the strait separating them from Nationalist China and do a "Great Leap Forward" so as to build a causeway to their former territory. Chinese aren't like us, or rather they're all like Trumpers, they'd be glad to do it if Ping said he'd be happy.

    No, he is saying that the evidence convinces him, that the virus was being worked on in a lab and inadvertently escaped. It's up to Trump and his minions to say that it's being deliberately done by the Inscrutable Yellow Peril to destroy humanity.

    Had Trump not dismantled the branch of the CDC that deals with pandemics a few months after the CDC warned him that just this was very likely to happen Covid 19 would be a laboratory curiosity that nobody had ever heard of. Then again Trump might still be President. You win some, you lose some

    It did. Worse, Fauci steered US taxpayer money to help fund the manipulation of these viruses in the Wuhan lab because the US Congress, in an unusual display of foresight and good sense, outlawed the manipulation of these viruses in US Labs, but Fauci, simply subbed the "gain of function" work to the Chinese Lab in Wuhan, which is also the Lab that the Lying Outlaw Slavers of Beijing uses for their bioweapons research. Do not view Fauci as a disinterested observer on the question of whether or not this deadly virus came out of the Wuhan Lab.

    No wonder China has no respect for us, we were likely funding their military research that they are developing to use against us. They know they would never be dumb enough to do the same.

    I like how Democrats line up to defend China and try to shift the blame to trump.

    Since when did Cons start believing the opinions of a scientist? I guess they will believe whatever suits their narrative.

    Notice how he said he has no proof, but many of you already take it as a fact.

    For starters, when those scientists said boys and girls are biologically different and offered science as proof.

    CNN seemed to take it seriously. CNN. Think about that.

    Well, the left believes every word they say.

    But the big deal is when CNN comes out with a story like this it's telling. Could it be their going to blame China for their virus in order to protect Biden, Cuomo, Whitmer, Newsom and others?

    The vast majority of the scientific community seem to disagree with Dr. Redfield??

    Yea right... read the attached article. Basically to even voice the opinion that the virus could have originated from the lab was to risk your career. This is cancel culture for political reasons. This time it is in favor of China and at the expense of the rest of the world. We have entered into dark times as this marks the emergence of Chinese hegemonic power.... THEY SET THE NARRATIVE and America's elites bent the knee to it and enforced it. Kudos to the heroes who have shown the courage to take a stand.

    How is this story protecting anyone? Biden had no role in the pandemic response early on. Cuomo still deserves blame for putting old people in nursing homes. If anything, doesn't this story make China look bad and Trump look good?

    Let's pretend in an alternative universe the virus did come from a lab. How does any of that absolve anyone of culpability? Does it make it right that Trump knowingly lied about the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine or saying it was going to just disappear one day or the fact that people politicized masks?

    Sure the thing probably escaped from a lab. My biggest complaint about the Donald was that he was still letting people into the country from China just as long as they didn't have a high fever. That was my only real WTF ARE YOU THINKING!!!! moment with the Trump Administration and the whole pandemic response stuff.
