idk why MF-45 keeps insisting on his b/s, apart from it being politically expedient for his base: a distraction from his inability to address the problem and reality of all those people in the States dying, the lack of proper PPE's, etc., his failure at "keeping America great/great" financially, so as to still garner/maintain some support in the upcoming election
The facts are that scientists are gaining momentum as to what the origin
isn't - i.e. a creation of something in a lab...
"This follows reports that the White House had been pressuring US intelligence community on the claim, recalling the Bush administration’s pressure to “
stove pipe” the intelligence before the war in Iraq."
If this is true, it may be just another strategy by MF-45 to continue and justify his economic war with China.
The Guardian has published a fairly comprehensive explanation of why it is unlikely that MF-45's suggestion isn't really plausible, using even more technical scientific info to eventually conclude (at least, provisionally) that this virus "simply spread to humans via a natural event".
What is truly distressing are the poor saps and idiots who continue to believe in conspiracy theories regarding the virus by maintaining and posting their beliefs online, because such postings are inadvertently helping MF-45. Even this morning, Trudeau has to respond to a question re: the possibility of Covid-19 originating in a lab in China... (smh)
