I hope he dies
Maybe there was a coronavirus lab in Wuhan because coronavirus variants have been a known threat for a long time and they wanted to study them but I dunno I'm just some guy
Or maybe also that’s just where it was first identified in part due to help from the lab. There’s some evidence that it was circulating undetected well before this.
I've had some thoughts about this point for a while now. Let's say it started in America: would we have ever even caught it? What are the chances the initial few patients would have even had healh insurance? What are the chances they would have gone to see a doctor even if they did have insurance due to time/cost? What are the chances the doctor wouldn't have just said "sounds like the flu, go home and rest"? What are the odds the doctor would have ordered samples of the virus to be looked at to see if it was a novel disease? At every possible instance the American system would have failed horribly.
Oh sure, my house is on fire and here comes the FIRE department to put it out! Your truck literally says FIRE on the side of it in big letters, and I'm supposed to listen to you? I'm really supposed to think it's just a coincidence that FIREfighters are at my house every week telling me to stop spending $3600 on candles?
Lol I feel like this reads like dril tweet if it just have a few more spelling errors
Holy shit Jon, this is like blaming the fact that gold exists in a mountain on a gold mine. Have you thought for a second about why Wuhan with a lab might have been the first place Covid-19 was detected? Have you forgotten about Italy and Spain claiming that they had medical reports that contradict the Wuhan origin theory, or the fact the hospitals in LA, New York, and London all released reports in December 2019 on an unexpected uptick in severe flu and pneumonia like symptoms over the previous month?
No, of course you don't. :pathetic:
Hey now, he's just a comedian. You can't get mad at him because he's joking. He might break down into tears and yell in a silent room, but that's just comedy, he's not serious.
He has no influence whatsoever in the porridge mind of his audience, not at all, no sir.
What a fucking coward. He reaped all the benefits of being the only person in media to the left of Kissinger while deflecting any criticism against him with "I'm a comedian"
It 100% is because IIRC it came from anonymous intelligence officials, and was explicitly paired with another total bullshit story from last year that claimed intelligence agencies had detected an "epidemic" in the works in Hubei as early as September 2019. That last one was also leaked by anonymous intelligence officials as a deliberate smear against Trump. But now that Trump's gone and Biden's in, they're using it to supplement their main drive to prime the public for a hawkish stance on China.
anon intelligence officials published by the same guy that started the Iraq WMDs rumors based on dubious nonsense, it's so fucking ridiculous
Wang pointed out that one of the reporters who took significant flak for a story on Hussein's believed possession of dangerous weapons was Michael Gordon. Years later, Gordon co-authored an article for the Wall Street Journal about a U.S. intelligence report that found that three researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were hospitalized in November 2019. Gordon and his co-authors acknowledged that current and former officials varied in the weight they gave the report, with one calling it "potentially significant" and another saying it was of "exquisite quality."

maybe the Chicoms released it via all those UFOs we've been hearing about lately
jon was incredulous about the iraq war only because there wasn't a Bagdad Weapons of Mass Destruction Factory
53% of self identified Democrats now have a favorable opinion of George W Bush
Remember when we had daily color-coded terrorism threat levels (clearly being pulled out of Rumsfeld's ass) being reported as if it were the weather? We really had decorum back then. :meow-melt:
I hope that years from now, when the lab leak bullshit is conclusively disproven, someone pins this fucker to a wall and makes him apologize on live TV.
It will never be "conclusively disproven" because they will just move onto the next conspiracy theory.
Nah they’ll just pull a “the evidence at the time suggested we were right” thing everyone did after Iraq.
Bring back deadpan news delivery & satire, enough overacting soy. He's a chud, but Norm MacDonald is funnier than any of the yelling Daily Show guys ever were
I miss Norm McDonald. You get the guy on and you never know what he's going to say. An actual edgy comedian.
Haven't seen him in ages. I've seen more Alex Jones than him in the last 5 years.
After this, I hope we can finally stop the nostalgia about this guy. "He wasn't great but he pushed me left." Man, no one cares about how your old Chud/lib self became a leftist. Stop trying to excuse liberalism.
Stewart didn't push us left, worldwide atrocities did. If we heard about them for the first time via Jon then that's an indictment of the level of authoritarianism of the empire at that point in time, not a credit to Jon
Man, no one cares about how your old Chud/lib self became a leftist.
Seems like it would be useful in identifying how to move others left in the future.
He did an interview with Hugo Chavez once and it was probably the first time I had ever heard a socialist speak directly and unfiltered. I don't know if that counts.
He was the only news source that wasn't tongued Bush's rectum. He made me not-a-liberal and inspired me to believe better things were possible.
Bruh a guy from Salisbury was poisoned with radiation shit which was blamed on Russia. There is literally a chemical weapons plant up the road.
And 12 miles away ANOTHER 2 people were poisoned with a chemical weapon, just miles away from the chemical weapons plant.
Do we talk about how these assassination attempts must have actually been from that lab? No we fucking don't. Because it's ridiculous and also because it's not in any imperialist interests to spread that narrative.
Anyway I wonder why a place with a lab for coronaviruses might discover there's a novel coronavirus before everywhere else discovers it. Curious that one. Maybe because the EXPERTISE to discover it is also located there.
Jon can go fuck himself.
It's extremely suspicious when a city of 20 million people has both a research lab that studies viruses and a viral outbreak.
Very suspicious that a nation that had to handle SARS would have some interest in monitoring and researching coronaviruses
It's not even just coronaviruses. It's a virology institute, affiliated with virology institutes in Canada, USA, and France. It probably biases toward coronaviruses because they're the most common and hence the most likely for a mutation to kill a ton of people.
Under communism the only work left will be to work in the coronavirus factories.
