Someone on here called me anti-vaxx like a week or two ago because I said the Wuhan lab leak theory sounded like bullshit. Not sure if that was a wrecker or the rare liberal who wandered in.
Yeah it had me confused too. You'd think the anti-vaxx types would be pushing the wuhan lab angle because of war with China. But then again libs want Biden to go after China too, so both have a stake in it.
Up until about April 2020, or maybe May 2020, if memory serves... nobody was able to get a test unless they had been to China.
Through negligence, incompetence, a lack of testing reagents, and a protocol seemingly designed to conceal domestic transmission, the real numbers were well hidden.
I have no knowledge when it comes to virology, but is it possible that there was a less virulent strain in circulation in those earlier months? I'm assuming that if there was, there would be evidence affirming it, right?
I had a horrible case of "pneumonia" about a week before the official first COViD cases happened in my area. It was before they really had any testing available. Considering I work in the service industry, there's no telling where I actually caught it or if it was actually pneumonia or not. I do know, however, that couple of other friends who I worked with also got really bad respiratory things around the same time as mine, so I don't doubt that COVID was floating around before it was actually a thing.
my parents both got COVID in early December 2019 before we knew what COVID was, had all the symptoms

Sheesh they could've at least called you a see see pee shill.
how are the vaccines and wuhan lab related?
They told me that it's common anti-vaxx propaganda to say that the virus came from anywhere but the wuhan lab.
:wat:
