Is this supposed to prove our claims?
QuoteThe front-page report quoted a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson urging "the WHO to play a leading role in respecting science."

Did that top school in the country teach you that science is about proposing wild conspiracy theories and then challenging people to disprove them (see the parts of your quote I bolded)? If so, they need to have their teaching credentials yanked.
Also thanks for demonstrating another favorite trick of the right
This is one of the clever but less than honest tricks I see the right constantly employee. Every single one of their so-called experts are "eminent", "world-renowned", ""leading FILL IN THE FIELD OF EXPERTISE" and other variations on that theme. It's never here is a virologist and here is that virologist's credentials. It's always these meaningless and unprovable adjectives that falsely inflate the credentials whoever's claims we are going to have to take as a matter of blind faith

jimmy: So you're a rocket scientist, eh? We have one in our family (a first cousin) and the guy is unquestionably brilliant (MIT). Let me know when you figure out the Giants. LOL Bob

I have a degree in engineering from one of the top schools in our country. I am certified in emergency medical care. I also spent 20 years in public health emergency management (with the emergency focus on pandemics, just like the one we have, and WMD attacks) What are your science or medical or public health qualifications?????
Edit to add: Fl Gman pointed out how Republican Senators have weaponized this wild conspiracy theory to attack Doctor Fauci in the Senate yesterday. I guess that was just Republicans putting the "hypothesis through its paces"

"gaining traction"
What does that mean exactly?
"putting it through its paces"
That's just another way of saying I posted the wild conspiracy theory it's your just to disprove it.
You didn't "say" act on it, you literally acted on it as using it for justification of partisan attacks on your fellow Americans
As for your ugly personal attacks on me, that par for your side. If I agreed with you, you would be promoting me as some sort of genius and authority on the subject. Since I dared to disagree, you pull out insults and slander, the right's go to move. Is it any wonder our nation is so polarized and messed up?

What I see in this thread is you took a fact-free totally unsupported conspiracy theory and used it as the underpinning for your polarizing (and in my opinion un-American) attack on science, the media, Americans you consider leftists, and Trump's critics.
When challenged that your "hypothesis" is NOTHING but a wild completely unsupported conspiracy theory you tried to turn that around and went on the attack with "Oh I am the victim!! My theories are being ignored!!"
That is not how science works (maybe you should get to learn science before attacking it). You have your hypothesis. Before you ACT on it, you test and prove it to be true or not. You skipped that part and used it as a weapon to wield against your fellow Ameircans

When you have factual evidence to support your assertion, it would be listened to. Otherwise, you are just another person promoting dangerous and wild conspiracy theories. In science, we TEST theories and hypotheses to determine if they are correct or not and before we accept them. You figured posted multiple sources promoted the same unfounded fact-free conspiracy theories was handly short cut behind the show test and confirm part of science

Jimmy,
I didn't see any actual facts to support your claims. As I have already said, you need facts to support your "hypothesis'. Without facts, it's just a dangerous conspiracy theory that only serves to encourage more Asian hate crimes. When you have factual evidence that this Covid virus was created in a lab, get back to me. Until then, you are only pushing dangerous unfounded conspiracy theories that encourage hate crimes against Asians.
What you seem to forget is that my public health background means I know and understand the origins of pandemics. So I understand more than anyone on this board just how wild your accusations are.

Definition of conspiracy theory
: a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators
Seems your China lab "hypothesis" more than meets the definition of a conspiracy theory

Well if we are going with your no-evidence is needed for theories, I have a theory that Elvis (who is still alive, thanks to the Illuminati) enlisted the help of Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster to develop and disseminate Covid. If you are unwilling to spend time and money to disprove my theory that's proof of your efforts to cover things up.
You said the exact thing when people were calling out the dangerous lies about the election being stolen. How did that turn out again????
I didn't know you then, but I suspect you had a similar view about the false theories/hypothesis that Iraq had WMDs.
Wild conspiracy theories have very real-world consequences
