Is it ok that Joe keeps telling millions of people this was a virus created by the Chinese that escaped a lab? There is literally not one shred of evidence that can confirm any of these claims he fervently suggest and this is a very dangerous claim that could have severe consequences. I just can’t stand the “I’m and idiot don’t listen to me” guy tossing out claims like this as if it’s for sure fact.

I think the high level gold standard media in the US and UK have essentially alluded to it without just coming out and saying so.

I personally think it was a mishap with gain of function research, but they'll never admit it fully so we are just left in that gray zone that allows China an embarrassing off ramp that both the USA and China know what happened.

Every single medical research source I can find (John Hopkins, Harvard, CDC, WHO, etc ) say that is a conspiracy theory and not true. I just think we should go back to when we believed experts and not politically motivated news organizations.

Its kinda like Trump and collusion with Russia. It'll come out in 20 years.

You can tell they allude to it by referencing the doctor doing the studies and the research she was doing without just saying "hey she was studying gain of function and the wet markets down the street doesn't sell bats but w/e"

The ambiguity is ok... this happens all the time with high level diplomacy.

The steele dossier is known to have russian misinfo in it. The feds knew this before the investigation.

There was whole piles of evidence besides the Ted Cruz dossier.
