Fringe Theory of Coronavirus Origin
Fringe Theory of Coronavirus Origin
Speaking on Fox News, Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, raised the possibility that the virus had originated in a high-security biochemical lab in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the center of the outbreak.
“We don’t have evidence that this disease originated there,” the senator said, “but because of China’s duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning, we need to at least ask the question to see what the evidence says, and China right now is not giving evidence on that question at all.”
I saw enough in Hong Kong markets to have a good idea what wet markets in China would be like. Not hard to image diseases spreading from there.
In early 2020, we didn’t know the origins of the Coronavirus. It’s more than fair to assume there would be incomplete information and a variety of theories. What is unacceptable is how the WHO, CDC and Fauci dismissed any suggestion that the origin could be a Bio lab in Wuhan, China. Worse, is how social media companies along with commercial media demonized anyone questioning the official narrative.
Some doctors, scientists and politicians courageously questioned the official narrative and presented reasonable doubts about the natural origins of Covid-19. Disagreement and debate is healthy with regard to scientific questions. The shaming and dismissal of qualified medical personnel is not.
The people who shut down discussion of the origins of Covid-19 have lost all credibility and should lose any position or standing that permits them to offer any opinion on scientific questions.
Expect commercial media will erase any evidence of their dereliction. They will adopt a “Can’t we all just get along” approach.
