Doesn't stop the Telegraph from putting a Chinese man on the front when the story is about the US.

At a conference in Madrid earlier this year, he said he was “pretty convinced” that Sars-Cov-2 “came out of a US lab of biotechnology, not out of nature” – a claim that has since been widely promoted by Chinese diplomats.

Yeah like the west doesn't already say it came from China.

    We'll have incontrovertible evidence COVID came from Fort Detrick and 95% of Americans, after some protective doses of propaganda, will deny it's true.

      I'm proud to be in that 5%

      Just a lot of coincidences. Ft Detrick's wastewater sterilization broken for like a year, forcing a shutdown in 2019? Soldiers from near there sent to Wuhan for military games? It being present in wastewater in Barcelona (and iirc other locations) in 2019? Ummmm yeah I'm not a coincidence theorist so I think all this is adding up

    COVID's origin was from a meth lab in an RV in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and that's why Walter White coughs all the time in Season 1.

      I'm gonna clarify that what Sachs is saying is he thinks the virus was created with biotechnology developed in the US, but not necessarily from a US lab. Technology developed in one place doesn't usually stay in one place. At least that's what I remember from the interview

        The Chinese have been blowing the whistle through official channels.

        The US should start with the following four things:

        First, the US should publish and examine the data of its early cases, including the respiratory diseases of unknown cause in Virginia, the large-scale EALI outbreak in Wisconsin, and the unexplained pneumonia outbreaks in two retirement communities near the Fort Detrick base in July 2019. The US should conduct nucleic acid testing and antibody testing of the blood serum samples of these aforementioned patients.

        Second, the US should invite WHO experts to investigate Fort Detrick and its 200+ bio-labs overseas.

        Third, the US should invite WHO experts to investigate the University of North Carolina. The team of Ralph S. Baric, particularly, is the authority of such kind of research with extremely mature capability in synergizing and modifying coronavirus[es].

        Fourth, the US should release the data concerning the sickened American military athletes who attended the World Military Games in Wuhan. In October 2019, the US sent more than 300 people to Wuhan for the games. Was there anyone with symptoms similar to those of COVID-19? What illness did those reported military athletes have exactly? The medical record should be revealed as soon as possible.

          A woman asked the CDC if they tested EVALI patients' serum samples for COVID and they responded "there is no need to because we already know that COVID wasn't in the US at that time". It seemed very presumptuous and unscientific IMO. I wish I could find the tweet.

        What if the KGB wasn't lying about AIDS? Soviet propaganda about America was usually true; they had plenty of ammunition to work with. I think it's interesting that although American historians and politicians have full access to the Soviet archives they haven't produced any document that suggests the Soviets were lying about Operation INFEKTION.

    We already have passive voice to describe how the media treats cops. We should start using "enemy voice" to describe the sinister way they describe the most banal things in bad foreign country

    Just like anthrax. Wondering if the US does this kind of shit to try and make going to war more palatable to the public. "Look, the Chinese are attacking us with a virus, lets fight back!"

    "Always accuse the other side of that which you are guilty" - Adolf Hitler.

    Weaponized hypocrisy is a time-honored western tactic. COVID is an American bioweapon.

    Love how blatantly propagandistic this is, just quoting some random profs from some random Unis that are against the report while providing no opposing arguments, like for example from the ones who actually works on the report. The image also make sure to show the readers of the evil, camera-covering Chinese in front of suspicious fog-covered lab to guide their thoughts to dismiss this report before they even read a words of it. The repeated reminders that did you know Prof Sach, report's chair, went on an anti-vaccination podcast to discuss his report, which sucks admittedly but I imagine because no other outlets want to the report.

      You would think that if it really was a US bio weapon then the government presumably would know and might have taken it at least a little more seriously

      They did take it seriously. They immediately tried to pin it on China by infecting people at the 2019 military games in Wuhan.

      Oh you mean take it seriously in terms of public safety. Well. Proles are expendable.

        then the government presumably would know

        I mean I don't by this at all, but the legislative and executive branches are kind of famous for having no idea what the spooky side of the US government is doing.
