    he previously worked with them so he must be a puppet of them? And you do realize the Lancet doesn't just fuck around with anyone right?

      No, he is currently working with them, and is also supposed to be impartially investigating if the virus originated from there! Just connecting the dots, and I think it's very odd that this is never brought up in any mainstream media reporting when using this guy to clear the lab from possibly accidentally releasing something. If this was all out in the open, if he was like "like ok I work with them, appoint somebody else to do this" or at least some acknowledgement, I'd be happy.

        Ok, let’s look at the facts here:

        • This man was appointed by Trump, not someone inclined to be favorable to China
        • He was one person out of 17
        • he was appointed by the Lancet, one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world, so they aren’t just going to appoint anyone
        • as you said, even the msm, who have every motive to slander China, yet barely pick up on it

        Now let’s look at the proponents of the lab leak theory:

        • Steve Bannon, who faked a paper
        • Donald Trump, who says whatever crosses his tiny little brain at the moment
        • the MSM, who don’t pick up on what looks like an easy gap in the armor, and who’s articles always include disclaimers like: “We have no positive evidence that the lab was involved.”

        You decide who we should believe between the people above, or someone who was on the ground and approved by some of the highest medical bodies in the world

        The Purpose of USAID is explicitly to topple opposition to america's empire. The Wuhan lab doesn't have "spill viruses" in its MO

      Nobody’s calling him a puppet. CTRL+F the article, the word puppet isn’t there. But to deny that he has a material interest in protecting the lab’s reputation is ridiculous. Science has conflict-of-interest regulations for a reason.

      And The Lancet is the same journal that ignored conflict of interest regulations to print the “vaccines cause autism” article in the 90s, so it’s not like they’re above reproach.

        sure. but still:

        • This man was appointed by Trump, not someone inclined to be favorable to China
        • He was one person out of 17
        • even the msm, who have every motive to slander China, barely pick up on it
