His claims are that because of this sequence of events “Fauci caused Covid”

- Fauci led NIAID

- NIAID funded EcoHealth (an external non profit)

- EcoHealth sent some money to Wuhan labs

- Maybe Covid comes from a leak of Wuhan labs

You can decide for yourself if Fauci is just a boogeyman or has personal responsibility in this chain of “maybes”

By this logic Trump cause Covid because he was President at the time.

In a way, it's a shame that the gp comment is flagged. It is batshit crazy from my pov, but this is a very commonly held opinion by the people now setting health policy for the USA.

I kind of wish there was a different flag-like option for cases like this. That would mean that it was more than down-voted, but not hidden.

I feel like it is very important that the disclosure of "bad" opinions should be allowed to be very openly tarred and feathered. BTW, some of those opinions could me mine, fair play.

Oh no! Someone sees the world differently. Instead of attempting to understand why, I'll just toss a pejorative at them, because I'm not emotionally or mentally capable of anyone thinking differently than I do.
I literally argued that your comments should not be hidden. Instead, they should be very openly ridiculed.

However, I do get it. From a moderation POV, you come off like a troll. That does suck for moderation stress.

You're the one trolling - you're literally suggesting that anyone who engages in wrong think should be ridiculed. I sincerely hope you score more good boy points with the moderators of this garbage website.
and even if the maybes are yes, it's still a debate whether an accident negates taking future risk. eg does a nuclear meltdown lead to no new nuclear power plants?

a lab leak doesnt in and of itself prove that gain of function research isnt worth further pursuit, if better care can be taken. there is clearly risk/reward calculations, and not everyone will agree what risk in a pool of risks is worse.

Trump was certainly in on it, as was Biden, along with the rest of their Jesuit pals.
