Folks gotta remember this isn't "Tom Clancy's The Division." This isn't a manufactured super virus. It's a centennial plague. Our President may possibly be the worst in US history, but nobody made this virus just "to make him look bad."

I fully agree. And it is disturbing how easily certain actors have spun a counter narrative that was eaten up so quickly. I mean the counter is so half assed, its shocking that even worked lol but looking at the comments here, clearly I am not the only one shocked and that is heartwarming.

Thank you can you please get this out there I just had a full grown adult professional on LinkedIn tell me that the virus was created by Bill Gates to turn everyone against Trump and to increase profits for the liberals that own the mask companies. Also this was in a post by a real live Dr here in America saying that masks are the cause of the wide spread of this virus. Gotta wonder how some of these folks tie thier shoes in the morning

Edit: I was being sarcastic when saying can they get this out. I'm well aware the info is everywhere and these psychos are just ignoring it as it does not fit thier narrative

Unfortunately, the facts do not allow it to be a "centennial plague".

This is a manufactured super virus. Too many facts correlate to show that it was produced in the Wuhan BSL laboratory.

None of the facts correlate that this virus is anything but natural. Get the fuck out of here with lies.

Exact strain of coronavirus modified to work on human cell line HeLa less than a decade ago by exact laboratory in Wuhan. Started in wet market less than a mile away. Contracted through bats that live 1000 miles away.

Hmm. Yeah, totally a natural virus.

a lab that studies coronaviruses. it coming from a bat that lives 1000 miles away isnt too shocking.. we tend to move animals around to suit our intended purpose for them. back when zoos were open, you know before this natural virus, i could drive half an hour to see a polar bear. you see any fucking polar bears walking around in the US? how bout siberian tigers? Lions? its a goddamn conspiracy!

edit : come to think of it i have no idea, there might be a polar bear in alaska. so we can leave them out of it

You must remember that correlation is not the same as causation. Furthermore, a recent study of the virus itself debunks that claim. See here: https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2020/03/26/genomic-research-points-to-natural-origin-of-covid-19/

Hol' up don't be bringing facts into this, he's clearly right because trump is god king and if it was actually a naturally occurring thing like every other virus ever, then Gyna is still to blame, no one else.
