Best article I’ve seen so far supporting this:

It’s like a horrible sci-fi movie coming to life where they engineered this in a lab, spread misinformation, released evolved strains elsewhere later on (Italy, UK), and sold a few billion vaccine doses. Biggest geopolitical flex ever.

Bonus points if they also aided and abetted countries loyal to them in controlling the spread and/or developing vaccines/antidotes.

Interested in seen more investigative journalism on the topic, preferably from an outlet with a better reputation than a tabloid like the Daily Mail.

You won’t get much deeper than this. The Chinese people are afraid to talk, or as their government calls it “maliciously manipulating an outbreak” or “causing chaos”. The government’s not letting anyone, including WHO, close to the labs or key scientists.
DM has some great journalists. A reputation a paper built up a century ago doesn’t mean anything today. Some of our media are afraid to upset the Chinese for various reasons.

Im confident more truth will trickle out over time. But when it comes later and in bits and pieces, it doesn’t have nearly as much impact.

Too bad they all get covered over by any skin filter out there. Ad hayom they push so much skin into your face on that site that it belongs filtered out by any filter worth anything.

I figured he learned from you when he talked about MSing coins from the mint - not something the average churner comes up with on his own.

Can you make inferences from SARS to SARS-CoV2? Can you make inferences from antibodies/immunity from  infection to immunity from an mRNA vaccine?

Asking rhetorically.

I mean theoretically it's just the airline that has to verify. So if you make a somewhat decent forgery of a test result I'd imagine privacy laws would prevent them from actually finding out if a test occured at all.

The US CBP isn't a pushover. I would assume they will at the very least do spot checks with severe penalties.

Good way to go to jail and wind up on a no fly list.

Let's just say that there haven't been quite a few who have done this in order to enter various countries.
