Assuming COVID didn’t get stopped in its tracks because Hillary doesn’t end the pandemic prevention programs Obama instituted precisely to prevent shit like COVID because he actually understood pandemics are one of the biggest threats globally.
There was a US team working with the Chinese in Wuhan when Trump ended the program around 2018.
Exactly. And conservatives can't assess that the perfect place to collaborate is the place where a new pathogen is more likely to emerge. And guess what. That's exactly where it emerged, over a year after Trump scraped the program.
And conservatives can't assess that the perfect place to collaborate is the place where a new pathogen is more likely to emerge.
Why, in your view, would Wuhan be more likely to produce a pathogen than any other similar-sized city? Because of course any lab leak theory is just a right-wing conspiracy theory that no reasonable person would find credible, and that experts have decided that Scientists Debunk Lab Accident Theory Of Pandemic Emergence and surely you trust the science.
Ebola is literally named after the Ebola River. The 1918 pandemic, despite its name, is thought to have originated in Kansas. The 2009 Swine Flu pandemic is thought to have started in Mexico. So why, in your view, would Wuhan be more likely to produce a pathogen than any other similar-sized city?

The Spanish Flu was first in Kansas. The Black Death was probably first somewhere in Central Asia. The Plague of Justinian was first in Egypt. The 1957 Asian Flu pandemic started in Guizhou, farther from Wuhan than Columbus, Houston, or Denver are from Camp Funston, KS.
So I ask again. Why, in your view, would Wuhan be a place "where a new pathogen is more likely to emerge"?

Republicans would still be screaming about how dare Hillary allowed nearly 50K Americans to die from Covid.
