They can't be serious with this shit - A new version of the COVID-19 omicron variant that may be the best yet at "evading immunity from vaccinations" subvariant labeled BA.4.6 (www.deseret.com)

Obviously I'm just an idiot layman, but it's looking more and more like:

  1. The US funded unethical gain of function research in China to evade laws here.

  2. The US released or facilitated the leaking of the virus in or around Wuhan, China. Either directly from the lab or at the world military games in Wuhan in late 2019.

  3. China acted predictably and stifled news of the disease until it was too late -- whereupon they enacted draconian measures that still haven't been lifted (and indeed may still be accelerating).

  4. The virus and the reactions to it shut down the global economy, fully destabilizing wide swaths of the world.

All of this to regain power in the US.

Remember - the democrats coalesced around the potato mere days before the world shut down. A contentious primary just... ended abruptly right before chaos erupted.

The flagrant law violations in several battleground states exclusively benefitted the Democrats.

Seriously, who won from 2020? China? No, they locked down too hard to capitalize on the chaos (which never made sense to me if they were behind the whole thing). The only winner in 2020 was the DNC.

I laughed when China was frantically pointing fingers at the US during the summer of 2020, but now I suspect they were right all along.

What we're looking at now is essentially Pandora's Box on a global scale. The economic reaction to the virus release is just going to continue to spiral out of control until something breaks irreparably. We all can see it coming now, it's just a matter of which domino is first.

There's no evidence that this was an intentional release. The WIV was known even before 2019 to have inept containment protocols. Despite handling level IV pathogens, the lab was at best capable of level I containment schemes.

A leak was inevitable especially with dangerous pathogens like a bat coronavirus that was intentionally enhanced to become highly virulent among humans.

Again, I am a layperson and likely an idiot.

But, China's response to the pandemic has puzzled me more and more as the months and years have dragged on. What they have done doesn't make any sense if they released or accidentally leaked the virus. They locked down HARD when they were positioned to benefit the most by staying open for business. Even now they are locking down whole cities for a virus that doesn't pose a major threat anymore.

There was also the statement of the bat lady scientist who claimed this wasn't one of their projects and she was relieved. Its possible she's lying (she is CCP after all) but... what if it wasn't?

All i know is that the official story doesn't make any sense. And the dems were the only direct beneficiaries of the pandemic's first year.

The virus and the reactions to it shut down the global economy, fully destabilizing wide swaths of the world.

The latter was and continues to be the only thing causing problems. The virus has always had a >99% survival rate, without other comorbidities.

Well yes, of course. 100% agree. I just never expected to see MERS-level hysteria here in the US (having lived through the insanity of being locked out of work in Jeonju because someone's grandpa had it in Seoul was an... experience).

This all feels so incompetent, though. Its like 'they' (Congress, WHO, EU, China, Australia... literally fill in the blank on 'they') didn't realize that everything was in a deceptively tenuous balance. Now every 'correction' makes the problem worse in another way. The only way out is to rip the bandaid off and try to control the economic collapase or continue to bury their heads in the sand until something REALLY BAD happens.

With the white house diversity hire press sec claiming the economy has 'never been stronger' we know what their 'strategy' is.

Makes good sense, and I especially like this bit:

the democrats coalesced around the potato

LMFAO!

The more I think about it, that whole period was weird. Remember Pelosi ripping up the SOTU speech? What a bizarre thing in hindsight - it's almost like she knew she didn't have to hide her disdain anymore.
