[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's stupid to burn public trust for arbitrary guidelines that have no basis in science.   It was stupid to shut down a reasonable theory when all we had were theories anyway.

All this destroyed trust in institutions and frayed the public cohesion.  [/quote]

Please explain how speculating on the origins of the virus helped Americans in spring of 2020.
Did if affect developing treatments?
Did it help us getting a handle on testing and tracing? [/quote]

China accidentally drops a nuke on a US city killing 1,000,000 Americans.  Please tell me why knowing the origin of whom accidentally dropped the nuke matters and why it'd be of any relevance during the aftermath of the destruction?

Your logic is truly absurd.  At a minimum, if China conducted high risk research with way to lax oversight (e.g..doing this kind of research on a BSL2 lab), there are many actions the world can take. For example, maybe scientific journals should blacklist all Chinese research going forward from publication. Perhaps sanctions can be put into place on all scientific equipment and supplies manufactured from other countries that are trying to be sold in China.  There SHOULD be consequences for gross negligence that leads to 25,000,000 deaths.

The craziest part is that this isn't even the first time a virus has leaked from a state run virology lab in China. The original SARS virus also escaped one of their labs a long time ago and infected people.  How many millions of deaths and trillions of dollars in blown up economies should the world tolerate until it concludes that China cannot be trusted with things like risky viral research?  [/quote]

Because it didn't just affect the U.S., moron. Millions of Chinese people were killed too so your analogy doesn't hold. A better analogy would be China intentionally setting off nukes in China and allowing the nuclear radiation to float over the U.S.

If it was lax oversight, then let's tighten it procedures so this doesn't happen again. Let's also prefund research into vaccines from the next most likely viruses to jump to humans as well as the manufacturing capacity to scale these things up. And Democrats pushed back on the initial story because of the myriad of lies and conspiracy theories surrounding COVID and the Trump administration. He had no credibility because of this and also because he was pushing scapegoating Asian people as well as "blue cities" instead of dealing with the fallout. If Trump had been consistently honest and truthful, I think the reaction would've been much different. Oh, and if he had just let the experts do their job, he'd probably still be President.[/quote]

Thanks for reiterating my point, dumbazz.

The Chinese state potentially conducted research with such gross incompentce it less to the deaths of 25,000,000 people.

And morons like you think there should be no consequences from the world to China. And remember the joke WHO that tried to claim China had very little to with it and was acting as a mouthpiece for the Chinese state the whole time?  Yeah, maybe an entire organization like the WHO needs to be burned to the ground like everyone said because they were gaslighting the world help China tying to deflect their role in potentially starting the pandemic.  What good is WHO to the world if they're just going to lie to people the next pandemic? [/quote]
