    Like most of the news today, I have no doubt that the liberals - a la Kamala Harris - will cackle at the truth and claim it isn't possible when their lies are exposed. This insane story that it started from bats was so bizarre that only liberals could spin a narrative about it and swear to it, while Biden's benefactors the Chinese smirked in the background.

    And what's worse in weasel Fauci's part in this and his heroic status among morons.

    This poor old country mouse takes time to dig down and read carefully.

    The topic headline is inaccurate. The NY Post story does not support the topic line assertion, nor the conclusion drawn in the OP.

    What the NY Post story actually says is that a 'source' has said that three workers in the lab were among the first to contract COVID. The number of people in that 'first' group isn't stated.

    It pays to read carefully, Ladies and Gentlemen. It pays.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    what should biden, or any american do about it ??? since you guys also believe the constitution is a suicide pact, we can not force you to inconvenience yourselves in any way.

    no matter where it started, we must protect our old people, our children, and ourselves.

    why is so much that you know about this disease at odds with our best epidemiologists?

    There would have been a lot more authorities who said it was likely that the virus came out of a lab, if Trump had not said it first.

    We should take it before the UN. It will likely not do a lot of good, but at least it lets the world know who is responsible for killing millions of people.

    "source"
    After reading MULTIPLE and continued CNN, WaPo, and NYT... over the many years.... about any and all subject as that is exactly the way they report... using unnamed anonymous sources... on here as unquestionable....

    And now you question the "SOURCE"... WOW....

    Please call 911 if you are choking over your own post...

    "Sources within the US government say that three of the earliest people to become infected were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. All were members of the Wuhan lab."

    Is very different than

    "We now know the first three people to get COVID worked in the Wuhan lab: Will the US government act?"

    Word matter.

    That being said...this is old news....we've known for quite some time that COVID came from the lab. What I'm curious to know is what do people expect every other country to do? Unless it can be proved that it was leaked on purpose I don't believe there is much any country can do about this.

    Funny.... the 800 pound pink gorilla in the room...

    Facebook censored The New York Post’s accurate February 2020 op-ed pointing to a lab leak as the cause.

    Twitter kicked journalists off its platform.

    And the White House menacingly threatened Facebook and Twitter with extinction, in the form of revoking their license to operate, if they didn’t censor “often-true content,” including stories of vaccine side effects.

    The lies told from the media were incredible. Now they ignore new evidence.....but they are on to newer lies. When those are disproven, they will move on to even newer lies. This is why the left despises history unless they can revise it. This is why it is so important we keep those montagues of lies and show them repeatedly at the hearings to come.

    The poor old country mouse may want to take a little more time to dig even deeper because he is clearly mistaken when he claims that the number of people in that "first" group is not stated.

    "What’s more, this week my colleagues Matt Taibbi, Alex Gutentag, and I broke the explosive story that the first three people sickened by the virus were the scientists experimenting with SARS-like coronaviruses."
    We now know the first 3 people to get COVID worked in the Wuhan lab: Will the US government act? (nypost.com)


    It even went one step further and the words "the first three" were a link to the article explaining that they were the first three.
    Wuhan scientists were the first to contract COVID-19: report (nypost.com)

    Even if they had only been able to narrow them down to the first few as opposed to saying the first, I am not sure why you would see that as relevant. Would you be trying to say that could therefore just be a coincidence? Seriously?


    FWIW, the first article with the headline is an editorial, and the second is not.

    Hi, popscott.

    As a routine, I never accept the word 'source' as a seal of absolute validity. Retired, I've time to do some looking to find other information. I'm also not given to presenting a 'source' as a solid gold source of truth.

    I thank you for taking a personal interest in me, but the subject of the thread is, I think, the more important object.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    Of course not. It is too late to prevent the lab leak or to fund it. It is in the past.

    Indeed you did post exactly what you posted.

    In order to avoid any confusion, it is important to note that unfortunately, when doing so, you were mistaken. According to the link, these three people were identified as being the first three cases.

    Donald Trump has said all along that it came from that lab. What did he do about it?

    We can start by not giving any more money to the Chinese Communists for lab research, especially gain of function research.

    He was voted out of office before he could have done much about it. In addition most people thought that Fauci was an “infallible god” instead the truth, which is egomaniac.

    I've been seeing stories where China made this virus as a weapon while at the same time trying to develop a vaccine which prevents them from dying from it, just us.

    By "just us" you mean pretty much the rest of the world, right?

    Yes, unless China gave them the vaccine ahead of time.

    China seems to have a stranglehold on the left and I don't know why.

    Wish for democracy in Hong Kong and you lose your job
    Call Taiwan a country and you're forced to apologize to China
    China's human rights record you ask? Don't ask
    Call the china virus the china virus and you're a racist
    Fly a spy balloon over our country? Again, don't ask
    Reinstate the original import tariffs on Chinese solar panels like we had before? Nope, Biden won't do it.
    Wanna build a huge battery plant in our country filled with Chinese nationals? Yup, Biden is all in
    Does China supply the raw materials for fentanyl? Will anyone do anything about it? Not a chance

    I meant China would give their pals the vaccine, we would have to start from scratch. In a war of any sort, that would give China and their allies a huge advantage

    We call that a red herring or a deflection.
