    How does that make them authorities on biology, virology, or epidemiology? Those are the professions who's opinions I'd be interested in....

    I could see the DOE being tight with the CIA. Part of monitoring other countries' nukes is by spycraft. The CIA could have picked up something and is using the DOE to leak it.

    That said, no one in the public or press has read the complete report. All that has been leaked is by the GOP to the WSJ.

    IMO this is similar to Barr saying the Mueller report exonerated Trump when we were finally able to see the final report it clearly didn't.

    China already knows where it originated from. There is no need for authorities on biology, virology, or epidemiology in my opinion if you can gather intelligence on their internal discussions.

    It would be interesting to read about. But China was literally sanitizing airport runways, so...

    I'm not sure I trust their internal dialogue either.

    Why do the righties care so much if it originated in a wet market or leaked from a bio-lab? I don't get it.

    Same here...China itself is hurting from covid, so regardless of where/how it originated, I can't see why China would intentionally allow it to harm their country or the rest of the world.

    I'm sure one reason is because they want to know if the US funded it. And if so they want to show why the US should stop funding STEM and other R&D which could make life better for the poor.

    They are more concerned about work force age as their demographics are the worst in the world. Communist regimes like Mao didn't think twice about killing off millions of all ages. If the senior demo dies off quicker that will help their economy and cost of provisions. Even communist countries worry about cost.

    My understanding is that they are already regretting the many years of their "one child per family" policy and are pushing hard for their citizens to start cranking kids out with no restrictions.....and are even using incentives to encourage them.

    Yup, in 2022 China's population supposedly dropped 850,000...that's the first drop in 60 years.

    There is more than one reason for that to happen but I just wonder how many of that drop were due to unreported covid deaths?...we'll likely never know the answer for sure.
