    Actually it *IS* about conspiracy theories and China-bashing. The China-bashing is literally getting Asian-American'skilled. For the antiGoF [yes it should be vetted and monitored, which it is] and antiBSL-3/4 [you bet they areregulated] crowd this is all about stirring up the pot again and reviving arguments that they lost.

    Twitter is on fire with scientists pushing for the lab leak theory too. Unlike everybody else, we can just sit and wait for that report and then amplify the message...

    Major mistake by WHO not getting that report out

    Crap and bullshit are hard to counter with calm dispassionate science. Very disappointed that when faced with Alina's wall of crazy and it's DISINFORMATION that Jessie shrugs and calls discussion of SC2 as a "vaccine for abioweapon" "deserved intelligent discussion." This is playing with fire. Move beyond politics my ass. If Trump were still President there is a very good chance - based on today's discussion and editorials in two major US"newspapers" that he and Pompeo would have already started military action against China.

    Bush II had way less "evidence" than this for taking out Saddam Hussein.

    Like Iraq, the US is now just making up evidence to suit their agenda. Hard evidence apparently not required - and alot of prominent scientists seem to agree. Kinda sad, really.
