    This degenerates into “prosecute fauci for conspiring to commit crimes against humanity” drivel. Even if it did come from a lab leak, it’s quite a leap to say it was intentional.

    When a problem arises, there are two types of people: those who look for someone to blame and those who do something about it. Anyone hung up on the origin of COVID just wants to use this to justify their hatred of Chinese people.

      That’s just divisive bullshit. COVID was made in WUHAN, it was researched in Canada and U.S. and paid for by the CIA. This is a multinational criminal conspiracy involving illegal bioweapons research. It may have been made in China, but they were just the unfortunate bag men. It could have easily been any number of other illegal bioweapons research labs that the U.K. and the U.S. continue to support today.

        Has any nation ever faced a charge for creating a disease? The US and Soviets did this stuff continuously during the Cold War and made the rules for disease accountability. It’s not illegal to make new diseases.

            Seems like you have it all together. Go to the Hague and show them your Wiki link and help bring China to justice!

            Okay, so

            never in any circumstances to develop, produce, stockpile or otherwise acquire or retain:

            1. microbial or other biological agents, or toxins whatever their origin or method of production, of types and in quantities that have no justification for prophylactic, protective or other peaceful purposes;

            Research into infectious disease doesn’t fit that, so okay.
