@clambo Don't forget that US tax money was sent by Fauci to Peter Daszak in Wuhan to work on exactly this kind of virus.
If the CCP was involved, their role seems limited to allowing it to happen. The real creation of the virus was done with US money offshore in an attempt to skirt US law against gain-of-function research exactly like this.
How can you be surprised when a "novel coronavirus" emanates from Wuhan China, where there is a CCP laboratory engaged in working with "novel coronaviruses".

So at least Rand Paul is calling for the docs to be declassified.
The report was "classified"
"according to a newly updated classified report from the United States Department of Energy obtained by the Wall Street Journal newspaper"
Here we go again.

Now that the government and media admit Covid likely came from the Wuhan lab, please enjoy Trump saying the same thing in spring 2020

First of all conspiracy theory was a term coined by the FBI to slander people questioning the Kennedy assassination. There have been many conspiracies throughout history. There have also been many theories. Theories cannot be proven, conspiracies can. For example the theory of evolution. Or the conspiracy that formed out current central bank(see Griffin).
The evidence supporting the creation of this mutated spike protein has been well established almost from the beginning. Therefore it is a conspiracy. The idea that it's naturally occurring, despite the overwhelming evidence is neither a conspiracy, nor a theory, it's a delusion. And this is the only place left for the scamdemic apologists at this point. They must live in the realm of fantasy, because the real world has beat their ego to shit for the past year.

Greenwald:
Everyone saw this happen. It was never justified to treat as proven COVID's zoonotic origin, nor any reason to mock the "lab leak" theory.
But media outlets did. That's because COVID's origin became politicized, and media outlets, as always, sided with their ideological tribe.

NEW: As the COVID pandemic unfolded, then-CNN President Jeff Zucker ordered his staff to not chase down the lab leak theory because he deemed it a “Trump talking point.”

Add this near the top of the mountains of media scandals. On a vital question of this generation - how did COVID originate? - they claimed a certainty they lacked, and banished a theory that was fully viable, because they prioritized their partisan allegiances above reporting.
Probably the most incredible media fact -- one so shameful the NYT has to ignore it -- is that their lead COVID reporter maligned the lab leak theory as *racist*, only for key parts of the USG itself to now admit it's a likely explanation.
Fauci gave the orders; they obeyed.
To ban the "lab leak" possibility, liberals like the NYT's main COVID reporter did the only thing they do: labeled as "racist" any views that diverge from theirs.
Listen to Colbert still defending the wet market theory and - if one theory must be racist - tell me which it is...
When it came to COVID's origin, all that should have mattered is the truth. But since liberals can't engage in debate without calling everyone racists, somehow "lab leak" became racist.
Far more racist were liberals who blame COVID on China's primitive, filthy food markets.
Exactly. If one theory of COVID's origin had to be racist - and, for liberals, every view deviating from theirs must be - mocking the Chinese's primitive, filthy food markets was vastly worse than suspecting it leaked from a sophisticated US-supported lab
Brennan
@TheBrennanCo
Replying to @ggreenwald
I never understood how a leak, whether intentional or accidental, coming from a highly sophisticated science lab was the racist option.

A conspiracy theory that has been floating around for a couple of years is that the virus that caused the original Covid-19 pandemic was manufactured in a Chinese biotechnology laboratory in Wuhan and escaped into the air.
Australia took this story to heart. The Australian Federal government took the official position supporting this theory. China reacted with economic retaliation against Australia. China allowed scientific professionals from around the world to tour the laboratory in question. They claimed that the tour exonerated them. Some scientists agreed with them. Other scientists claimed that they were not disclosing all.
Yesterday afternoon, WGN News out of Chicago and Al Jazeera reported that the US Department of Energy had taken the official position on the record that the Covid-19 virus was manufactured in a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan. For those of you curious, here is the link:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/2/27/us-energy-dept-says-covid-probably-came-from-a-lab-leak
Elena was skeptical of this official position as it comes at a time when China and the US have tense relations. She further points out that the DNA of the virus was analyzed. Scientists determined that it was a natural phenomenon and not manufactured in a laboratory.
Get ready for a lot of controversies and heated discussions.
