I'm glad that the most powerful (on paper) men in the country are now able to openly say what I've been saying for the last 18 months.

Maybe by January of 2023, they'll be able to openly say China should be punished for this, or that our own traitors should be tried and then hanged.

If you want justice, you're not going to get any from the political elites unless something drastic changes.

Tbf, Rand Paul has been saying essentially this for quite a while now

I'm fairly sure Ron Paul opposed the neocons in the 80s who thought they could kill China with "kindness" by "infecting" them with capitalism.

Rand may be a little less based than Ron is, but I'm also sure he sees China as a threat to not just US' liberty, but the world's liberty.

Only problem is, he's only one man, but at least he's making rounds in the mainstream - that's what's important. You just need one or two firebreather types that are loud, brash, and more importantly correct. Nothing of what Rand Paul has said the past few weeks has been wrong.

While people argue whether or not it came from a lab they aren't arguing whether or not it was lethal enough to justify what our Betters made us go through the past year.

It wasn't China who shut down the West since February 2020: that was our own governments.

it doesn’t even seem to infect bats very well

This is the kind of nonsense you can get when a once-upon-a-time eye doctor starts talking about infectious diseases. Read up on "Zoonosis" to understand how silly that statement is.

Brand new account. Only comments are supporting MSM misinformation about the Shanghai Shivers.

Is the five cents a comment really worth it buddy?

Don't change the subject.

I have no problem if you want to swallow the misinformation being fed to you. The fear generated by a global pandemic makes people react in weird ways, and if goofball statements help you sleep at night I'm not going to judge you.

I'm just pointing out to people who have an open mind that the comment attributed to Rand Paul is silly, and anyone who wants to know why just has to read a bit on zoonosis to realize that viruses commonly have hosts that they don't harm.

Careful Sergei. Yevgeny Prigozhin is not happy with your performance lately.

The "Zoonosis" would take time and there would be a large reservoir in animals - which we are not able to find.

We were able to find the zoonotic link in mers and sars1 and our genetic testing was antique back then.

Now we can do millions of genetic tests a day.... and we can't find any bats or pangolins that have a related infection

That statement is false, and anyone who wants to check it can google "coronavirus in bats"
