> liberals aren't stupid people who can only think in terms of black and white ... scrapping it completely is almost certainly worse

Just like the liberals aren't calling for the ending of the electoral college just because one election went against their wishes?

And nice attempt to paint yourself as the savior of this country, to liberate and educate those deplorables and "garbage" people, to rid them of the religion of the deity and keep shoveling the religion of LGBTQ in their mouths.

Right, nothing like relying on TV to educate kids.

And this seems like a trojan horse to tout the benefit of Sesame Street as justification to keep PBS on air to keep airing biased anti-conservative content and get funding from the very people they routinely demean and defame.

Why don't you go on CDC's website and see when the spike happened, which month of this year, and when the bulk of the cases were reported, then come back and tell us that a new administration's federal policies would have had anything to do with it.

Also go look at which state most of the cases are reported. And ponder maybe there's something specific going on rather than your politically charged ramblings.

Yeah when I added a device to my plan and signed a contract, I guess, they were giving a $10 discount per line for auto pay. That somehow had gone down to $5 since then. Seems like that would be a change of terms of an agreement, though I didn't read the fine print to figure out if that's the case. Either case, very sleazy, and up to me to take my chances with cell service from a discount carrier.

He literally said: "it wasn't about" the money

But then natural selection might have caused some or all of the 1 to 3 offspring to die, thereby not have their own offspring to carrying on the defect.

Except "everything you can screen for" in 2005 is much more limited than 2025, which itself is much more limited than in 2045. The point is that you're concentrating a potential genetic defect and applying it to hundreds or thousands of offspring, rather than 1 or 3, as is most typical.

And who suggested not studying these viruses?

China's level 4 labs do not meet the purported standards, and it is very plausible Covid 2019 was released from one of them. What needs to happen is for China to take this stuff more seriously because if a US convoy to your country concludes in an investigation that spans a few days that your labs aren't up to standard, if it takes them that little time to come to that conclusion, then their labs really must be sub par and not equipped to handle these viruses. Are we going to have another Covid pandemic in 2030? Is that what you're proposing?

Blaming domestic policy to distract from the source of the problem.

Keep engaging in your left wing right wing politics, and just like in 2003, and in 2019, China will be the source of yet another SARS pandemic.

So yes, case in point, your post is so deathly afraid to question the source, and instead points the finger elsewhere to distract and deflect what you probably do perceive as xenophobia.

You don't seem to know what a straw man argument is.

What the original poster submitted was a conspiracy theory.

No one said they were hiding anything. In the summer of 2019, they were posting job ads to work at the lab to study a new strain of Covid.

I think what everyone defending China is doing is contorting questioning of their level 4 lab safety into some accusation of weaponizing Covid.

I believe the SARS pandemic from 2003 was also released from a Chinese lab by mishandling. At the very least, the world should ensure that their fake level 4 labs are brought up to that actual level, and not be a fake certification like everything else in China seems to be.

No it wouldn't. There is a correct way to study viruses, and the Chinese way of studying them in very unsafe conditions. There were reports from 2018 that the purported level 4 labs in China weren't anywhere close to that level, and recommendation was for US to give China money to make them more secure.

The first SARS pandemic in 2003 was also originated in China. And I did read a story that the cause was lab workers that let it leak by mishandling.

So by investigating COVID2 from 2019, maybe we could prevent COVID3.

What is a "pro rig" exactly? Most of the new mirrorless cameras are so small, you can barely fit 3 fingers on the grip. 50mm fixed focal length prime lenses are small and light. The whole "rig" can be held comfortably by a small child.
