The Current Events, News, and Politics Thread
Here's a fully sourced document, showing the evidence for and against the virus originating in the Wuhan virology lab. I had no idea how much virus manipulation was actively occurring in the world.

At some point in late 2019, many people who visited the The Huanan Seafood Market fell ill due to a new disease. To date the origin of this disease is unknown.
This market is less than 9 miles away from The Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which:
The market is also less than 3 miles away from the Wuhan Centre for Disease Control, which:
Let us also look at the actions of China before and after the outbreak, which:
Also in January 2020, the United States Department of Justice arrested two Chinese nationals and the Chair of the "Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University" for allegedly receiving illegal payments from China, "acting as an agent of a foreign government," and "attempting to smuggle 21 vials of biological research to China."
Back to the market: the The Huanan Seafood Market didn’t even have bats for sale, and most bats species in Wuhan would be hibernating at the time of outbreak. It was reported that 34% of cases had no contact with the market, and ’No epidemiological link was found between the first patient and later cases’.
If an infected animal was indeed the culprit, why did it fail to infect a single person outside of the market? It could not have been infected at the market, because there were no bats that could serve as sources of infection. So, where were all the infected people outside of Wuhan by the time SARS-CoV-2 started spreading in the market?
We hope that this document adequately addressed each claim with what evidence is available and fulfilled its secondary responsibility of educating you on biolaboratory safety. By now, we hope you understand that these claims are not impossible; they are in fact more than likely.
We may never be certain of the truth. What we are certain of, however, is that these claims shouldn’t be discounted, and far more research must be done to disprove either one.
Our work as a global community must continue.

12 Conclusion
Up until this point, we have been presenting each of our claims in a vacuum. Let us put them together:At some point in late 2019, many people who visited the The Huanan Seafood Market fell ill due to a new disease. To date the origin of this disease is unknown.
This market is less than 9 miles away from The Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which:
- Collaborated with French authorities to construct its BSL-4 lab, however the company meant to inspect its safety standards bailed out of the project and French scientists who were supposed to work there were never sent there
- Developed chimeric SARS-like coronaviruses
- Conducted ’dangerous’ gain-of-function research on the SARS-CoV-1 virus
- Established a 96.2% match with SARS-CoV-2 and a virus they sampled from a cave over 1,000 miles away from Wuhan
- Injected live piglets with bat coronaviruses as recently as July 2019: Paper 5, Paper 7, Paper 8
- Tested its disinfecting procedures with a bat coronavirus
- Published a paper on a close descendant of SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, in November 2019
- Collected bat samples with improper PPE even after a researcher was bitten by one
- Was hiring researchers to work on bat coronaviruses as recently as November 2019
- The United States State Department claimed had ’inadequate safety’
- Deleted a press release detailing a U.S. State Department visit
- Has not provided concrete evidence that one of their prior researchers is still alive, despite rumors on Chinese social media that they are "Patient Zero", despite one of their other top researchers coming out and swearing the virus had nothing to do with her lab
- Had a researcher accuse the director of the Institute of selling infected lab animals to vendors on Weibo (with pictures of herself and her employee ID included); afterwards, she claimed she was ’hacked’
- Had staff trained by a Chinese-Canadian scientist at Canada’s only BSL-4 lab who has now been under RCMP investigation for nearly a year following a shipment of Ebola and Henipahvirus from that lab to a lab in China
The market is also less than 3 miles away from the Wuhan Centre for Disease Control, which:
- Was actually already accused of being the source of the outbreak from a now-withdrawn academic paper from a notable Chinese scholar at the South China University of China
- Once kept horseshoe bats, a known reservoir of SARS-CoV-1, within its labs
- Once performed surgery on live animals within its labs
- Had a researcher who quarantined on two separate occasions; once upon coming into contact with bat blood after being ’attacked’ and another time when he was urinated upon in a cave while wearing inadequate personal protection
Let us also look at the actions of China before and after the outbreak, which:
- Had the SARS-CoV-1 virus escape from a lab in Beijing, twice
- Compensated families after 27 students were infected with Brucella bacteria during an anatomy course in 2011
- Is currently investigating a similar Brucella outbreak amongst "over 100 Students and Staff" in December 2019
- Issued bio-safety guidelines to ’fix chronic management loopholes at virus labs’
- Arrested a ’top academician’ for illegally selling lab animals and ’experimental milk’ in January 2020
- Censored local medical professionals who attempted to report the outbreak
- Ordered local labs to destroy any samples of the new virus
- Withheld the virus’s genome nearly a week after they sequenced it
- Continually insisted on no human-to-human transmission
- Launched the largest national quarantine in human history once containment failed
- Issued an order preventing the unauthorized publishing of any academic material related to SARS-CoV-2
- Allowed a Party spokesperson to accuse the United States Army of intentionally bringing SARS-CoV-2 to Wuhan
- Is continuing to refuse an independent investigation into the outbreak origins and threatened Australia with boycotts if they investigated
Also in January 2020, the United States Department of Justice arrested two Chinese nationals and the Chair of the "Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University" for allegedly receiving illegal payments from China, "acting as an agent of a foreign government," and "attempting to smuggle 21 vials of biological research to China."

Mostly I'm seeing facts. Example:
Not sure what that has to do with Trump allegedly engineering a virus with his bare hands.
Vice President Mike Pence chose not to wear a face mask Tuesday during a tour of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, an apparent violation of the world-renowned medical center's policy requiring them.
Video feeds show that Pence did not wear a mask when he met with a Mayo employee who has recovered from COVID-19 and is now donating plasma, even though everyone else in the room appeared to be wearing one. He was also maskless when he visited a lab where Mayo conducts coronavirus tests.
And Pence was the only participant not to wear a mask during a roundtable discussion on Mayo's coronavirus testing and research programs. All the other participants did, including Food and Drug Administration chief Stephen Hahn, top Mayo officials, Gov. Tim Walz and U.S. Rep. Jim Hagedorn.

[not saire]
A Republican lawmaker in Ohio has said that he will refuse to wear a face mask to protect himself (and others) from coronavirus because our faces are made in the 'likeness of God.'
Representative Nino Vitale explained on Facebook that due to his religious beliefs he will not be wearing a mask in public, despite state governor Mike DeWine recommending everyone to do so to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
In a lengthy post on the social media website, Vitale said:
This is not the entire world. This is the greatest nation on earth founded on Judeo-Christian Principles.
One of those principles is that we are all created in the image and likeness of God. That image is seen the most by our face. I will not wear a mask.
We’re created in the image and likeness of God. When we think of image, do we think of a chest or our legs or our arms? We think of their face. I don’t want to cover people’s faces.
This is not based on logic, this is based on fear and propaganda and every statistical, data driven study done in the last 2 weeks says death counts are low, the models were wrong, and this is more like the flu.

The wife and I just finished watching Plandemic Part 1 on YouTube (www.plandemicmovie.com). Whatever your take on this situation, there are certainly some eye-opening moments in the video.

So... we're surprised that a large number of TV stations owned by Sinclair Broadcasting (who are a bunch of ********, BTW, that actually manage to almost live up to the hype which Braineack proselytizes against all media in general) are all preaching a centrally-coordinated narrative?
I ask honestly. Because, from my point of view (as a TV guy), the distinction between that and actual journalism seems fairly obvious.

This video disturbed me deeply. There may or may not be an ad at the beginning.
