Big surprise. Truth is, they'll never pin this on China. Countries do things or are responsible for things and never accept responsibility, including ours. So called international law does nothing to deal with actions of countries except in blatant cases like invasions or war criminals. Countries blow civilian airplanes out of the sky and everyone huffs and puffs and investigations occur and nothing happens. It'll be the same here. People will huff and puff. China will deny forever, and nothing will happen to hold anyone responsible. And the truth is, if your country or mine accidentally released a virus that killed millions and caused huge damage, they'd behave exactly the same way. It's what countries do. Deny.

sure is funny that it may have leaked from a lab receiving US aid tho, huh?

what a virus even is is the subject of quite a bit of debate, although we don't get exposed to the debate in the US...suffice it to say that Rockefeller Medicine has shut that debate down here, and they just looove the "disease comes from outside" model

Who besides me and the “agency memory”-- on paper, stamped “Top Secret” and filed -- remembers China’s response early during the long Cold War when American warhawks hinted of a nuclear response?

“China,” one of her diplomats said, “can afford to lose half of her six hundred million people in a nuclear war. Can America afford to lose as many of her three hundred million people?”

So, Dave, America’s diplomats are split on Covid’s origins because they want to preserve good relations with China.

The most bureaucratic way to say, we don't f-ing know.
