I grew up in Asia going to wet markets and they are by definition not "barbaric." Saying so is a an ignorant statement. The person saying that it is barbaric clearly has never been to or even know what a wet market is. What is true, however, is that many Chinese wet markets do not adhere to health regulations, and especially in China, health inspectors are often bribed to turn a blind eye. However, you can not say the same about developed countries and cities, such as Taiwan, Hong kong, or Singapore. The poor hygiene in the Chinese wet markets, in conjunction with eating exotic animals--yes even in China, bats, raccoon, pangolins, and the like are considered exotic and not authentic to Chinese cuisine--contribute to the outbreaks including SARS and COVID-19. |
Of course we don't. They didn't knowingly spread disease and it isn't clear where it started exactly to blame anyone in the first place The soldiers sent to WWI helped win the war and save the world, despite causing flu to spread. China knew their dirty, unhygienic, unregulated animal and meat practices have caused pandemics already, and did nothing to prevent. And even once they knew, they did nothing to stop their citizens from flocking all over the world for business and pleasure. Not at all comparable to the US causing Spanish flu. |
What government lied to the world as it spread day after day??? That's China. |
So the supposedly super cleanness of Kansas farms did not help at all? |
And they locked down big time to slow the spread. You can't give them any credit for the good they did? If you're concerned about lying, Trump LIES every day. That's the GOP. |
China didn't knowingly spread disease either. |
The Spanish Flu originated in China. The first US victim was diagnosed in Kansas. China is a breeding ground for disease to this day. |
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC340389/ "After the 1918–1919 pandemic, many investigators searched for the source of the disease. The American Medical Association sponsored what is generally considered the best of several comprehensive international studies of the pandemic conducted by Dr. Edwin Jordan, editor of The Journal of Infectious Disease." "Since several influenza pandemics in preceding centuries were already well-known and had come from the orient, Jordan first considered Asia as the source. But he found no evidence. Influenza did surface in early 1918 in China, but the outbreaks were minor, did not spread, and contemporary Chinese scientists, trained by Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now Rockefeller University) investigators, stated they believed these outbreaks were endemic disease unrelated to the pandemic [3]. Jordan also looked at the lethal pulmonary disease cited by some historians as influenza, but this was diagnosed by contemporary scientists as pneumonic plague. By 1918 the plague bacillus could be easily and conclusively identified in the laboratory [3]. So after tracing all known outbreaks of respiratory disease in China, Jordan concluded that none of them "could be reasonably regarded as the true forerunner" of the pandemic [3]." "Jordan considered other possible origins of the pandemic in early 1918 in France and India. He concluded that it was highly unlikely that the pandemic began in any of them [3]. That left the United States. Jordan looked at a series of spring outbreaks there. The evidence seemed far stronger. One could see influenza jumping from Army camp to camp, then into cities, and traveling with troops to Europe. His conclusion: the United States was the site of origin. A later equally comprehensive, multi-volume British study of the pandemic agreed with Jordan. It too found no evidence for the influenza's origin in the Orient, it too rejected the 1916 outbreak among British troops, and it too concluded, "The disease was probably carried from the United States to Europe [5]." Australian Nobel laureate MacFarlane Burnet spent most of his scientific career working on influenza and studied the pandemic closely. He too concluded that the evidence was "strongly suggestive" that the disease started in the United States and spread with "the arrival of American troops in France [6]." |
And the "world health organization" helped with the blatant coverup. No more american tax $$$ for WHO! |
Exactly. |
That’s a racisms |
Why did they LIE about it THIS time? |
What happened to the two Chinese physician whistleblowers? One was silenced, punished, and is now dead. Another is simply "missing". Please explain how the Chinese Communist Gov "didn't know" this was HIGHLY contagious? |
