teamgreen02 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/09/poll-covid-wuhan-lab-leak-49884 Even most Democrats now agree it leaked from a lab. Most Americans now believe that the coronavirus leaked from a laboratory in China, according to a new POLITICO-Harvard poll that found a dramatic shift in public perception of Covid-19’s origins over the last year. U.S. adults were almost twice as likely to say the virus was the result of a lab leak in China than human contact with an infected animal, which many scientists believe is the most likely scenario. The poll's findings show what was once a fringe belief held mainly among some on the political right has become accepted by most Republicans, as well as most Democrats, amid heightened scrutiny of the lab leak theory. The absence of a large partisan gap on the issue is particularly striking, said Robert Blendon, a professor of health policy and political analysis at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health who designed the poll. “Usually, our polls find a big split between Republicans and Democrats, so this is unique,” he said. “More conservative media have been carrying the ‘lab leak’ issue, and it’s been a Trump talking point from the beginning, so we expected people who lean Democratic would say either ‘It’s not true’ or ‘I don’t know.’ But the belief is bipartisan.” Blendon said Democrats likely became more receptive to the idea after President Joe Biden’s recent order that intelligence agencies investigate the virus’ origin and comments from Anthony Fauci, the White House chief medical officer, that it's worth digging into. Fauci and other scientists have cautioned the answer may never be known definitively. “That the president thought there was enough evidence to ask intelligence agencies to put together a report sends a signal to Democrats that there might be something there,” Blendon said. Democratic lawmakers have also faced pressure to look more closely at the lab leak scenario, though they worry Republicans will stoke uncertainty about the virus origin for political gain. Several congressional committees have launched inquiries, and the House Science Committee plans to hold its first hearing on the issue next week.

Zambroski Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I don’t know if this has never been the case with most Americans. China is suspect….and that is that. What is weird is how DC and their media ignore it like it was African gun violence in Chicago or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 We shouldn’t talk about it, though. Americans are really stupid and they will be racist against Asians. Best we all ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wuhan market bullshit, Wuhan Lab Accident. If they released it directly into the US, and we found out, it could bring a world war. The fact they won't allow FULL INVESTIGATION, speaks volumes. They still killed our people, and destroyed our lives. Germany just sued them for billions. Almost doesn't matter if accident or not, they hurt us. Did you see some of the comments Xi Xinping has made lately? " WE WILL BASH OUR ENEMIES HEADS AGAINST THE STEEL WALLS " " WE WILL BOMB JAPAN INTO OBLIVION " Does that sound like a good, friendly ASIAN??? He was Donny Flair's " friend ". Shyna, is nothing but big trouble on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 It was intentional, and done because of the TRADE DEAL, Trump fucked them over with. It was a ONE HUNDRED YEAR PANDEMIC, that started within weeks of the trade deal. COINCIDENCE??? I don't think so. Just my .02c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 They killed the shit out of us, and what price has Shyna paid? NONE!!!! We have a klunk for a president, and a smelly gash for VP. The country is dangerously divided. We have prosecutions of our national leaders. I'd say Shyna accomplished its goal.

Would China care killing off some of their citizens to make it look natural or even lab leaked? If it only showed up in foreign countries it would be incredibly obvious and an act of war.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 20, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 20, 2021 The whole investigation into its origins is a joke. We had phase I trials going on within a few months and we are now 18+ months into it and they don't know the origins? Fucking bullshit.

That does sound simple. Although if COVID just shows up at LAX, not sure how simple that would be to track it down. Or showed up a bat cave site......

Well if there were zero infections from the host country it would be pretty obvious for a virus supposedly as infectious as this. Person goes straight from the wet market or wherever to the airport and jumps on an international flight? Yeah right pull this leg and it will play jingle bells.

Ever heard of DNA? This cave complex they said was like 600 miles from Wuhan. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/to-the-bat-cave-in-search-of-covid-s-origins-scientists-reignite-polarizing-debate-on-wuhan-lab-leak/ar-AAKcj71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I do think it leaked from the lab, just on accident most likely. Happy to change my mind though as more and more evidence comes out. Either way, China needs to be held accountable.

Guest Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I read that they can find NO ZOO-OTIC connection, with this virus. In other words, this virus had no animal origin. No bat, no pangolin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I recall the virus still retains some DNA of the host animal(s) and even bats of the same general family often have region specific types. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_bat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_rufous_horseshoe_bat Couldn't agree more on holding China accountable because rather natural by nature, lab leaked or intentionally released China restricted travel within their own country but let their citizens fly all over the world.

Guest Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Why now??? Why now, an ACCIDENTAL RELEASE of a deadly, 100 year pandemic? Have you seen how Xi Xinping is acting now??? His true colors are showing! Trump said he was a friend. I don't know too many friends that want to break my skull against a steel wall. Why hasn't Shyna allowed a FULL INVESTIGATION....FROM DAY ONE!!!!!!!!! Have you guys ever watched " Chinas Army-Daft Punk " on Youtube????? WATCH IT, then tell me what you think.

Matt Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Given there were workers at the lab who died in November 2019, it's likely accidental. There's a strong likelihood those folks were "patient zero." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
