Congrats to all the normal people without fancy degrees who knew this based on common sense in 2020.
 
I was told repeatedly that this was xenophobic and irresponsible: In fact, Not the Bee was barred by Twitter 1.0, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Google from posting the suggestion that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had anything to do with Covid!

And we weren't the only ones who were criticized and deplatformed.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It wasn't jus the media who said this.  It was the CIA itself, as per a whistleblower. We cannot trust them

CIA bribed its own COVID-19 origin team to reject lab-leak theory, anonymous whistleblower claims
Agency denies allegation as congressional panel demands information from CIA probe into pandemic’s start
12 Sep 2023 ByJon Cohen


An unnamed CIA whistleblower has made the dramatic allegation that six analysts there were bribed to reject the theory that COVID-19 resulted from a research-related leak of a new coronavirus, according to a press release today from the office of the Republican leading a congressional investigation into the pandemic. The allegation was strongly rejected in a CIA statement released hours later.

A majority of U.S. intelligence agencies has so far concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic mostly likely started when SARS-CoV-2 jumped from an infected animal host into people; a wildlife market in Wuhan, China, has received intense attention from researchers as the potential source. But the Department of Energy and FBI so far have favored the so-called lab-leak hypothesis, even though none of the agencies has expressed high confidence in their conclusions on COVID-19’s origin. CIA, for example, had reportedly said it was “unable to determine” whether SARS-CoV-2 made a direct jump from animals to humans—or came from a lab.

Now, Representative Brad Wenstrup (R–OH), who chairs the House of Representatives’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, says his panel and the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have heard testimony from a whistleblower “who presents as a highly credible senior-level CIA officer.” According to the press release, the whistleblower testified that only the most senior analyst of a seven-member CIA team investigating the origin of COVID-19 supported the zoonotic transmission theory. The whistleblower alleged the other six team members supporting the lab origin then received “a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” wrote Wenstrup and Representative Mike Turner (R–OH), who chairs the intelligence panel.

In response to emailed questions from Science, CIA Director of Public Affairs Tammy Kupperman Thorp challenged the whistleblower’s account: “At CIA we are committed to the highest standards of analytic rigor, integrity, and objectivity. We do not pay analysts to reach specific conclusions. We take these allegations extremely seriously and are looking into them. We will keep our Congressional oversight committees appropriately informed,” she wrote in the agency’s statement.

Not trust the CIA?  I don't think many in here trusted them in the first place.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Trump's CIA Director John Ratcliffe says that the agency is evaluating intel it has on COVID origins to determine whether China intentionally started it or if it was an accident.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Get real folks.  The research was FUNDED BY THE USA,UNDER THE DIRECTION OF DR ANTHONY FAUCI.  I knew that within months of the outbreak, which my wife first contracted in December, 2019, before it was even in the news, and I caught it from her the 1st week of January, 2020.  I was recovering from it, after having it for one week when it began hitting the news on a daily basis.

It was absolutely released intentionally.  And don't be fooled, it was released intentionally by both China and the USA.  That is why there is a lid on the truth coming out as it should.  And this is why Biden gave Dr. Anthony Mengele Fauci a full pardon.  Both countries, with aging populations, wanted this bio weapon to decrease their elderly populations.  Dr. Fauci has managed to kill more people than Dr. Mengele could ever dream about.

Anyone that trusts any aspect of our federal government today is a fool.  Why?  Because there is no entity that keeps our government honest.  Our media is fully corrupted, no different than Putin's Russia.  Over there, they report on the federal government truthfully, they normally end up dead.  Here, our corporate thugs destroy you, your career, your life such that it become hard to survive financially.

And believe me, that was only Act I.  With the future pandemics that will be RELEASED INTENTIONALLY, the mortality rate will ratchet upwards.  I expect the number to jump to 3, 5 10% mortality rates.  With research, the pathogens will be developed to adversely affect folks with certain genetic traits over others.  It is just a matter of time.

100% agree!  QFT    :beer:

And it has trickled down to the elderly's primary doctor/patient relationship.

General Practitioners in 4-star rated health insurers for the elderly are worthless for the most part.  Their instinct is to guard the insurer's bottom line...when you consider the technology available to correctly diagnose.

You virtually have to beg for an MRI.  And the success totally depends on the radiologist reading the scan.

Only thing they're good for is to prescribe statins and metformin...in generic form made in "CHYNA"!

Complaining about adverse side-effects are met with blank stares.

Get real folks.  The research was FUNDED BY THE USA,UNDER THE DIRECTION OF DR ANTHONY FAUCI.  I knew that within months of the outbreak, which my wife first contracted in December, 2019, before it was even in the news, and I caught it from her the 1st week of January, 2020.  I was recovering from it, after having it for one week when it began hitting the news on a daily basis.


My wife caught it sometime in late December 2019 during a business trip to Philadelphia and got noticeably sick on New Year's 2020, with a nasty, unusual, hacking cough.  At that time, U.S. doctors were misdiagnosing it as "Flu Strain B" but she tested negative, so they simply told her that it was some rinovirus and to follow the usual treatment of stay home, drinks lots of hot tea, and eat hot soup.  But she didn't get better and stayed sick for about 6 weeks, becoming virtually bedridden with that awful cough and difficulty breathing.  In the meantime, my teenaged son (who never gets sick) came down with it and slept for a full week, and my also young daughter suddenly got sick a day or so later at school (after seeming perfectly fine when she got on the bus).  When I arrived to pick her up, the school nurse's office was overrun with sick kids, and she was so overwhelemed that she resigned that night.  I then got sick myself a couple of days later but was over it in about three days.  This was all in January 2020.

Looking back on it I think that the Wu Flu arrived in the U.S. (probably New York) from Italy in December 2019 during Christmas travel, and quickly spread from there to all the major U.S. East Coast cities, and then into the interior.  Meanwhile, COVID landed on the West Coast at the same time from China in Seattle, LA, or San Francisco, spreading inland quickly from that direction.  It was then in mid-February that the U.S. government and President Trump realized that we had a big problem and he tried to shut down travel between the U.S. and China but was castigated by the Democrats and Chinese as a racist.  It was too late by then anyway.  And with the presidential election coming that November, the Democrats were OK with crashing the U.S. economy just to "get Trump," the enormous ensuing damage to the country and its businesses be damned.

Spent half my life in the healthcare insurance arena.  They really do not care to pay claims, their focus is more on finding ways NOT TO PAY CLAIMS.

The pharma industry is more focused on maintaining patients as chronic/life patients, not curing folks.

The food industry is more concerned about using fillers in food that have zero nutritional value, along with shrinkage of product packaging down to something slightly above invisibility.  I tell you, I can see us marching to Soylent Green food products in the not too distant future. 

Bottomline, every industry in the USA cares not for the USA citizenry.  Longevity in the USA has declined when it should be steadily increasing.  It is NOT a mystery.  And the UGLY TRUTH is I can see longevity continuing to decline.
