I found many references to the theory all through 2020 where folks were evaluating the possibility, it just didn't get a lot of media coverage. I think the media suppression of the story is mostly what happened, not actual suppression of the investigations. That's true up to a point. The point being China. China has been actively suppressing investigation.
Sure they are, no doubt about it. But there were efforts to look into this all through 2020. They were hampered and likely inadequate. But folks were trying, it just wasn't widely covered. The media decided not to cover it.
Whoever is looking into it today will face the same issues.

They weaponized it with fear mongering, to implement sweeping changes to our electoral process, and to print 6 trillion dollars- most of which went into the pockets of politicians and their cronies.
Are you really this stupid
Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk When talking about a virus weaponized means something else moron. But thanks for the update Alex. Shouldn't you be bothering people whose kids were killed in a school shooting somewhere?

The virus obviously was not weaponized, it makes no sense, after the release. You could argue aspects of how the pandemic was handled was "weaponized". I suppose it's too much to expect folks to use clear language here.
Maybe we should have had Hillary as President instead, she might have handled it better.

A lot of my Facebook acquaintances are overt Trump supporters (and Marines). The routinely post about how lethal the vaccine is, even one how was a Navy Corpsman. The odd thing is before the election it was all HAIL TRUMP for developing the vaccine.
There are other groups with low vaccination rates as well, blacks, Hispanics, poorly educated folks in general. I was told the other day by someone he wasn't afraid of a virus 99% survive. It's more like 99.5 % but these guys never get anything right. And he wasn't going to get the vaccine because it wasn't safe because 6000 deaths had been reported by the CDC. This one keeps popping up with the knuckleheads BTW. So this guy has Davina's math skills. Scared of shot with a 99.998 % survival rate if the 6000 people actually died from the shot(which they didn't) but not worried about a virus that killed 600,000 not to mention the severe illnesses. They have all the numbers wrong like Davina and then add in a whole pile of stupid like he does as well.

The undereducated are easily fooled by scare tactics. I imagine if Trump had won, his supporters would 99% be vaccinated, and the idiotic undereducated liberals would not be.
I suppose this is how things get "weaponized". And some here disagree that Trump was polarizing.

If Trump was POTUS the left underclass and minorities would definitely be acting the same way or worse. I agree with that. The left MSM would be playing up any issues with vaccines. It's a weird world right now.

I wasn†t getting the vaccine regardless.  I don†t GAS.  I never bought into the panic porn.  We know who†s at risk.  We†ve known for quite some time now.  I would argue relatively early on in the process to boot.  If you fall within that group you should get the vaccine.  This is, and should be, an individual choice.  Just like the Flu shot.  Be/take responsibility for yourself.  This whole thing never should†ve gotten beyond that basic stance in which this nation has mostly always conducted itself.

Yeah, these are weird times indeed.

As i've noted before, there is a public health reason, and interest, to get as many vaccinated as possible. The longer this thing lingers, the more we'll have variants, and it is possible some variant would be far worse.
I've had one friend in France, about 45 in good health, not obese at all, who spent nearly a week in ICU with COVID and nearly didn't make it. My kid in Texas had it early on and had it pretty bad, 32 years old in excellent health. Now, these are anecdotal stories of course, but it's clear that this cytokine explosion can hit very health people very hard.
Whatever risk there may be with the vaccine is far lower than the risk of getting seriously ill.

Yeah, these are weird times indeed. It is an individual choice. Were you under the impression it wasn't? People are allowed to do all kinds of dumb crap. Nothing's changed.

I keep reading scare tactics about vaccine passports and required immunizations (which happens in some fields of course). Scare tactics most of it.
If you don't want one, don't get it. I advise you consider it carefully with facts and analysis, but have at it.
