Back in December 2019, the CCP did nothing to curb the spread of COVID. Chinese tourists were allowed to leave the country despite the fact that there was a deadly disease going around that the CCP knew nothing about. The CCP should have done something.
When the disease was hitting full force in the US, around March 2020, we were taking painstaking measures to make sure it didn't spread. Our own chairman of the CDC, Fauci advised us that masks were unnecessary and that riding the subway was fine. Despite this, the Chinese virus still managed to spread within our borders
All of this highlights the failure of the CCP to protect the world from COVID. We've only had 36 months do do something about it, but if the CCP had had the foresight to know something about something they knew nothing about, then we would've had 37 months instead. And that would've made all the difference.
<tinfoil>The "vape lung" thing a few months earlier was actually covid accidentally released from fort detrick</tinfoil>
Yeah, as far as I'm concerned that's not <tinfoil>
I'd even split hairs over "accidentally."
Funny how nothing came about over vapes and that mysterious illness and also funny that it was all around Fort Detrick. China literally said that place needs to be investigated.

Well that's no fun
The vape problem, while real, was 100% used as a cover for the concurrent outbreak of a sudden and unexplained respiratory disease
Oh was that it? My memory of it is that it was out of the news pretty quick and I didn't remember hearing an explanation.

Yeah if you search for EVALI on the CDC page out of the 10 first results that pop up only the 2nd mentions THC in the description and many specific articles or w/e have headers like "Outbreak of Lung Injury Associated with the Use of E-Cigarette, or Vaping, Products" with the mention of THC buried in the body.
Also nothing came of the mysterious respiratory illness outbreaks at nursing homes around Fort Detrick and fall 2019 being the worst 'flu' season in the region in years
i thought there was pretty solid evidence covid was kicking around for a good bit before we even knew about it. anecdotally my entire family got sick with covid symptoms a while before it was "supposed" to have been a thing. my grandma had lasting heart problems ever since and her cardiologist after seeing otherwise inexplicable scarring on her heart that wasn't there before said it probably was covid - they claimed that they had seen mysterious heart scarring in a lot of patients recently.
How could there have been an outbreak of COVID months before it was publicly recognized if, once it was recognized and spreading it put huge amounts of people in the hospital and on ventilators?
If it were circulating earlier wouldn't that just move the timeline up for the widespread outbreak? Since it's so contagious.
People just really really want this to be a cool michael chritcon disease conspiracy novel because a novel virus energing is just too mundane or something.
the <tinfoil> tag means it's mostly a joke
I know that's what you meant, I was sort of directing that comment toward the other replies down thread.
COVID was originally only transmitted through THC vape pens distributed by the FBI to high-income communities. This was to tip the scales for big tobacco to finally functionally ban vapes to get kids to begin smoking again.
However, their plan backfired (blowback, as in the podcast) when the Chinese government simultaneously released a novel coronavirus designed in the Wuhan bioweapons lab in order to eliminate the capitalism mind virus and bring about a global socialist utopia.
A Chinese man in Wuhan smoked one of the tainted THC pens, the viruses merged and the rest is history.
no need for "tinfoil" or "accidentally" there my friend
someone post the imgur thread again please
Here
Basically the only thing that makes me not believe this version of events is that every evolutionary line traces back to China
