There is “evidence” of Democrats doing whatever is necessary to keep power, or to regain power. It’s quite obvious right now in fact of what they consider off limits – which is nothing. Burn down a Tesla dealership, aye. Dox a Tesla owner, aye. Judge “shop” to get a TRO, aye. Arbitrarily change election laws by fiat or sleight of hand, aye. Do I think they had a part in the lab leak? Aye.

Wonder if there was fear of somebody making a connection: Took some wrestling, but the Congress finally got NIH to admit they’d sent Wuhan a fair chunk of money for gain-of-function research.
So, while it cannot be said with certainty that we paid for Covid, our help must have freed up local resources for what the CCP thought important.
Yeah, lab leak is a Bad Thing to have to acknowledge.

mr jones about the duranty affair, had james norton, a possible bond prospect as the taciturn Welshmen who uncovered the Holomodor, but could only get Hearst paper’s to publish it, it took another generation for Robert Conquest, another former lefty who worked for the IRD to tell the truth in Harvest of Shame,

Don’t even get me started on Matthews who had less of an excuse, being fooled by Fidel’s version of Kabuki, but it was right in keeping with Lincoln Kirkpatrick, being fooled by Raul’s future wife, Vilma Espin, well her father was a Bacardi exec, so he was considered reliable,

Halberstam and his Viet Cong source, who gave him all the wrong info which led to the Diem coup, which kneecapped the
counterinsurgency campaign, before the Marines landed in Pleiku,

Mary Mcrory, no raging righty, pinpointed all the errors she knew about with Halberstam

So who thinks the NY Times will now announce that they were deceived by Walter Duranty?

Oh wait, that’s right; the NY Times STILL believes that he was reporting the truth.

Duranty won a Pulitzer and more recently so did NY Times writers (i.e., propagandists), that reported that Trump was a Russian spy and was colluding with Putin.

This will come as a shock to everybody; the Columbia School of Journalism awards the Pulitzer Prize.

Of the alternative explanations, faulty safety protocols and purposeful release, I find the latter most plausible. The leak assertion only serves to dodge and redirect culpability. Fauci and his coworkers have been shown to be evil actors.

That’s a possibility, but I cannot see how it is justified to declare that categorically.

NYT’s and that reporter are just trying to cover their asses over their complicity in the fraud. I also reject their argument that the virus leaked from the lab, along with all the earnest assertions that the lab’s safety protocols were lax. This virus was purposefully released for scientific and economic purposes.

Dr. David Baltimore had a look at the virus early on in the epidemic and called attention to a configuration of four surface features of the virus, asserting that that particular configuration does not occur in nature but can occur when you have a manufactured virus.

Every time I am tempted to believe something printed in the New York Times, I remember Walter Duranty and that ends the temptation.
