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.

    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.

      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.

        They form the investigative committees that act as a Limited Hangout.
