Current Events > houghts on people who believe covid is man made?

(+) Yeah! (+)

im curious

Had someone say that this morning on a conference call. We just got quiet and let her go off.

Three or four minutes later, she admitted to being vaccinated.

I mean it could be? Gain of function research is a legit thing.

Fauci ended the ban on gain of function research so it could very well be man made

...what?

If it was, what was the end game?

...what?

Gain-of-function research is medical research that genetically alters an organism in a way that may enhance the biological functions of gene products. This may include an altered pathogenesis, transmissibility, or host range, i.e. the types of hosts that a microorganism can infect

Seems far more probably than not.

Explain this to me like Im five

Honestly it really wouldnt surprise me if it was man made. Thats the sad / scary part.

Making viruses stronger and more capable of infecting other species.

Why?

I literally just posted it. You want evidence? Read the Vanity Fair article it is intensive and detailed journalism that provides tons of evidence.

MICHALECOLE posted...

Why?

To make stronger cures cough(bioweapons)cough, and advance medicine cough(kill us all)cough.

The coughing parts were a joke cough(maybe)cough.

MICHALECOLE posted...

Why?

To gain knowledge about how they work so that if a similar virus ever originated naturally in public, they would in theory be better equipped to fight it.

Wouldnt be surprised but also DGAF where it originated. Just want people to get vaccinated so we can move on with our lives.

Nothing good

So if it was man made the people who made it should be not be held responsible?

It would be good if it ended.

It would also be good if it never happened again and if it was the result of a lab leak, everybody and every institution involved was held to account. They have an insane amount of blood on their hands (if it did indeed leak from a lab).

More importantly TC, I love your username.

Im not delusional enough to expect anything to happen to China if it was made there intentionally. It is already known that they are responsible for initially covering up and downplaying its existence leading to its spread and nothing has happened. China is engaged in an open genocide and the world does nothing because we like cheap goods too much. Its not going to change if it becomes known they made it in a lab.

thanks bro

It very well could be.

At this point, does it really matter?

...yes?

All available information points to it being man made, and having leaked from one of the labs in Wuhan.

If China would allow a full-scale investigation to take place we might find out it came from a natural origin. Their unwillingness to provide accurate information (or any information at all) means we'll likely never know.

prove it

Garth_Marenghi posted...

I can't. No one can.
China won't give anyone access to the information needed to figure it out conclusively.
For now we're stuck looking for a natural origin we're never going to find. An effort that China has also been hampering by keeping researchers out of Wuhan.

Can't really say I blame China for their cover-up. It's a situation that could very easily lead to a world war.

prove something an untrustworthy and non-transparent country won't divulge?

Your silly aggressive reaction right now kinda make you look like one.

That was a yes or no question.

Didn't the US claim that China could have made the virus only because the US officials were too fucking stupid to get someone to translate the reports provided by China?

Garth_Marenghi posted...

then shut the fuck up, the both of you..

Nah, I'd rather not.
If people stop talking about it China wins its propaganda and disinformation war.

Here is a serious take on the lab leak theory:

No?
They claim China made the virus based on the fact that the Wuhan lab submitted a proposition to do the exact research that would have led to Sars-CoV-2, but was denied. The CCP then mysteriously increased their funding and installed a member of their military in the lab. Then in late 2019 just before the WHO declared the outbreak a worldwide pandemic they deleted their entire database of Sars-covid viruses so no one could see what exactly they were working on prior to the leak.

Even disregarding all that...they sat on the genome data for two weeks before one of their own people leaked it to the world (that guy is currently sitting in a jail in China). Data that Moderna took and used to develop the vaccines in 48 hours. That delay alone can be said to have caused a massive loss of life.

I think my favorite piece of damning evidence is the action they took against one of their own researchers at the Wuhan lab because they found out he was selling laboratory animals to third parties for some extra money. Just this year (2021) they outlawed the selling of laboratory animals. Just this year.

The governing body of the UK is not a "far-right conspiracy theorist".

Do you guys really think it came from a pangolin?
