Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

2018 - June : Discovery of Novel Bat Coronaviruses in South China That Use the Same Receptor as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29669833/
They published this paper , they were studying the virus family, in the lab , in the city that it first detected from. A lab knowing for not being up to code, have concern of Chinese government using it to work on biological weapons, among other things.
At the end it doesn't matter if it is from a lab or not and I am not sure why people get very offended by it. I understand if the cheesiness government tried to hide it, but people in the state calling people conspiracy theorist for suggestion that is crazy.
Yes, and further studies have shown that the strains in the lab and the strain that became Covid 19 were too different to have come from the same place.
We're calling people conspiracy theorists because they're peddling a conspiracy theory.
do you have the research for that ?
Literally the proof I posted earlier from 5 months ago
The US Government Report ?? that mainly talk about the involvement of the USA cooperation with Wuhan lab, and searching for strain in the document doesnt bring anything useful to your claim??
I was expecting at least a EU research or WHO reports explaining why "the strains are not the same" or a peer review article not something from the US government that politicized the whole thing that people are label conspiracy theorist for pointing out clear concern..
The report is riddled with sources that aren't government based. It's filled with scientific data.
Again, it's just democrats saying listen to the scientists.
I really don't understand why you defending this report like it is a religions text when they have written in bold font
"Republicans’ Investigation Did Not Uncover the Origins of COVID-19—Both Pathways Remain Plausible, and We Are More or Less Where We Started"
They report even conclude with details of what it is about. 1) baseless attack by republican against Fauci 2) misconduct regarding New York nursing homes 3) CDC’s school reopening guidance
All of which have nothing to do with "Proof that covid was not a leak because the strain are different"
Like even reading further they literary say the same thing as I am saying:
Good job cherry picking
