Clink. Clink. Clink.
On a warm summer evening in July 2014, a laboratory worker on the National Institutes of Health’s sprawling campus just north of Washington, D.C., exited Building 29A toting a cardboard box. Its contents rattled inside – an assortment of fragile glass vials labeled with faded typewriter script: Q fever, rickettsia and, worst of all, four strains of variola – the dreaded virus that causes smallpox.
Highly contagious, variola is one of the deadliest viruses the world has ever known. It could rip through most of the U.S. population and cause a global health disaster if released. It killed as many as 3 out of every 10 people infected

Why does everything have to be "all or nothing" in terms of cause/effect? If the Chinese let the virus out on purpose, it's an act of war on humanity, but if it were an accident and they gave the situation a "Cloward/Piven" response to see what the world's response would be to this kind of attack they gained valuable intelligence.
Remember...they banned internal travel to/from Wuhan before the US banned travel from China in toto. I don't think it was on purpose, but regardless of how it got out, they learned a lot about us in the months after.

After all, Fauci said in January 2017 that Donald Trump would be dealing with an infectious disease during his term. How would he know that?

It was done intentionally. This was set up and financed by Fauci (gave them over $3M) The first person in the US came down with covid at the end of Jan. 2020. I came down with it about two and a half weeks earlier. I was working a model home in the Austin area. One to two weeks before hand 11 families who claimed to be from China came in to look at the model. They were all families of 4 to 6 people. I tested for the antibody. Since I wasn't going out at that time the chances were very good it came from one or more of the families. They all (yes all 11) told me they were from Wuhan. I thought that many coming from China was very odd. Fortunately, When they signed my Welcome Sheet, it was on a laptop that automatically took a picture of every family. Yes DHS came by and talked to me afterwards. But this was an act of war.

The problem with saying that the COVID virus was created or came from China is that the leftist Democrats and their media minions have been claiming you are a racist for bringing the Chinese Communists or China into that equation. Even the Chinese Communists have figured that out, and are using historic US or even bogus racial issues as excuses to challenge US democracy in their bilateral rhetorical beating up of the Biden Administration’s “snowflake” appointees and representatives.

I think it was deliberate. I think the Democrats were in on it. I think they set it up with their media as to timing, presentation, the flip flop when then they stopped b***hing about Trump wanting to restrict travel and use quarantine, to demanding why he didn't do it sooner. Their governors turned nursing homes into virtual gas chambers by shoving Covid positive in with residents with medical problems.
All so they could gain political ammunition to attack Trump.
When people didn't buy their bs, they had to use Dominion to program their voting machines to cheat, call on Red China again to mass produce mail in ballots, and tap those same goverors that murdered our elderly, to change voting laws to allow for the steal.
They better hope a real insurrection doesn't show up, because I'll join it.

In China, I was once told by someone who knew first hand, if you make a mistake in the lab, you will be harshly punished (sometimes even if it wasn't YOU who made the mistake). Therefore, if there is a mistake in the lab, you simply will try to cover up your involvement with that mistake rather than dealing with the reality of the situation. I always remembered that conversation and thought that would explain what happened.

It was leaked all right. They opened the door and leaked it right out.
And the democrats had a hand in it. It was to only way to beat Trump.

I saw an explanation that they were doing biological weapon research in the Wuhan lab. For a biological weapon to be effective, they would need an antidote to give their own soldiers, which they were also working on. Then, the virus accidentally got out. Fauci was in it up to his neck, funding the research that even Obama told him was too dangerous. The CCP wanted Trump out, and they were all in for wrecking our economy. The CCP also declared cyberwar on us over a year ago, and are into every system we have, including our election system, which is how Biden won fraudulently. The CCP and Democrats worked together to get rid of Trump, and are on China's payroll, and so are the RINO's, and other Republicans.

This is the first article I have seen to make a convincing case that COVID was intentionally released to cause havoc.

This wasn’t a leak, it was an act of war.

Leak or intentional.....the virus was likely modified in the lab to be able to infect humans.
Given the inherent incompetence of communist bureaucracies, which I have dealt with extensively during doing business in the former soviet states (Russia, Ukraine and others) for a decade, an accident is entirely believable.
OTOH....given the pure evil of the Chinese Communist Party, it is just as easily believable that they intentionally unleashed this no the world.
Incompetent or evil? Well, they ARE incompetent, and they ARE evil. Which held sway in this particular event? Hard to know.
Regardless - the ChiComs are TOTALLY responsible for this and it IS the China flu or more properly the Wuhan flu.

We're discussing probabilities. It's probable:
1. The COVID-19 release was accidental.
2. Risks of release from labs increase when additional viruses are tested.
3. Additional deadly contagious viruses will be tested.
Ergo:
Sooner or later another deadly contagious virus will be released from a lab.

Accidently on purpose is more like it. This was an intentional biological warfare attack on this country. Aimed at getting rid of Trump because of the financial pressure and pain he was putting on them. Dems jumped on that big time.

I'm really supposed to believe that this gift just accidentally dropped in out of nowhere to cost Trump what looked like an inevitable convincing victory?
And on the heels of what they did in 2016? Not on your life!

The noble doctor Fauci has made millions of dollars off this thing, so ask him.

USA Toadie furnishes an elaborate spin job to take the heat of the CCP, and by extension, Fauxi, who acted as the DNC's broker. We're meant to assume that sure, these things happen all the time, everywhere, so no biggie.
