Scott all you like. The plain fact is the account on the ZH site is
true. I remember it all unraveling at the time. ZH broke the story and
were immediately targeted by all the usual suspects, keen to
obliterate the culpability of Fauci and the CCP. All good cronies
sticking together as ever.

Yeah, if they had any real evidence of anything they'd find someone to

It'll come in time. Remember you didn't have a president worthy of the

Seems like Congress discovered academics employed by the CDC under the
first Trump administration can believe stupid things as well as anyone.
They must be sorta smart though they seemed able to confine being dumb
to their Slack messages and not tell everyone who they thought would
listen (whether the victim felt like listening, or not.)
That's a very difficult skill for many people to master it would
probably take like 15 years of academic study for the average American
to develop it.

Hey wait a minute I thought there was going to be evidence of a Chinese

Producing actual evidence of the former might require learning Mandarin

 So you don't think there was anything suspicious about the CCP denying
the delegation from the WHO access to the bat virus lab for a
fortnight whilst they removed all the evidence you're now crowing
about the absence of?

It's a deeply paranoid and authoritarian regime (like some others one could mention), doing suspicious things is their stock & trade, that's any given Tuesday in the power structure of the PRC.
Like an American's insurance company delay and deny is what they do, it'd probably be more suspicious if they extended a warm invitation. "Oh yeah sure, we're cool with that!"
????? What did you do with the devil I know
Anyway, some of the best evidence we have that the market was the origin is THAT'S WHERE THE BULK OF THE EARLY CASES WERE, people who lived in that area, many of whom had confirmed contact with the market. Not around the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is the better part of 10 miles away to the southeast.
Straight-up Dr. John Snow London 1854 cholera-outbreak stuff, back to the contaminated well, in the neighborhood with the most cases. Not some _other_ goddamn well 10 miles away..
