They didn't want "the experts" to say Trump is right and give him credibility. That's what it was all about, and it's what killed any faith I had in our scientific institutions.
They thought they could exploit it as a culture war issue to balkanize people
They defaulted to "the experts" who were directly responsible for committing the crime in the first place. Fauci pressured journalists and academicians because he knew where it came from. He funded the god damned thing after DARPA rejected it for being too dangerous.
They also default to "the experts" who are ideologically similar to them. They deferred to the WHO because the leader of that globalist body was a member of the Ethiopian Derg, and was funded by the CCP.
I do have to say that they never claimed that the whole Bat Soup thing was an acceptable explanation. "Bat Soup" was a meme created by the political right because some of the more obvious cases emerged in the wet market, and it was better to distract people with that then the "Coronavirus Research Facility" literally next door.
Funniest part of all this is that we've yet to find a single bat with Covid-19.
I'm old enough to remember when saying the Chinese ate cats and dogs was alleged to have been a racist stereotype. That they were using it as a defense, in addition to pretending the lab was a "right wing conspiracy", was enough for me to deduce that the lab was responsible.
The descriptions of the symptoms were enough to convince me it sounded like a bio-weapon. Low lethality from the virus itself, but it causes enough paralysis to require hospitalization, thus overwhelming the medical system (which is the thing that actually causes most of the deaths)?... Snipers and IED makers use tactics like this all the time.
If you're a sniper, you shoot the first guy once he's 3/4ths of the way across the bridge, and drive everyone else back. Then you shoot everyone trying to preform a rescue.
IED planters would detonate a primary bomb to stop the convoy, the immediate response from the convoy would be to push out, which is stopped by channelizing fire. That way, the convoy defenders take cover from the machine gun... directly in front of the larger secondary IED.
This kind of 'dirty trick' is used all the time in war, and whether or not it was a bio-weapon, or merely the research for one, it wasn't wrong to treat it as a biological weapon attack on the US.
All because Trump was correct and they couldn’t handle it?
Or did they truly think it was racist to blame chinese scientists working on US funding?
Meanwhile their “acceptable” explanation was “chinese eat too much bat soup or something”
