I see a lot of what the Clinton's call "parsing." That's were one tries to dismiss a argument (or evidence) by focusing on a key word and attempts to void it. So far it's a claim that the virus was "genetically engineered" at the facility. I haven't heard an claim by the Republicans that it was "genetically engineered." But that's what many of the Dims and the Dim handlers are focusing on. Pick whatever word suits you, the Chinese were working on bat viruses at the lab. One appears to have escaped. There's no way you can prove it. Even if you tested all the personnel at the lab the Chinese would say they got the virus when they were out in the general population.
Thanks for posting Dilbert. Based on what Cruz and Cotton are saying, there's a lot the govt knew but hasn't told us.

I believe you know exactly what the conspiracy is. That this somehow came out of the lab in Wuhan. At first it was a conspiracy that it was bioengineered, which has been soundly rejected by actual scientists who actually study this stuff but still gets stated as fact by talking political tv people and secondly, though it may have naturally been transmissible from bat to human, that it was mistakenly carried from the lab by someone in the lab and to the public. Once again, there is no actual proof of that either. The amount of proof amounts to patient zero for some disease originating in Georgia and the theory being that it came from the CDC.
There are at least 3 threads with people like Dilbert constantly repeating the same wrong information as fact when everyone that has actual real information has stated that there is NO Zero NONE Notta proof that the virus came from any lab aside from geography.
The only reason that it even matters whether it came from the lab is because those pushing the theory have a political agenda. From a health standpoint, we wish it came from a lab because at least then we'd have a heads up due to study and historical understanding in creating cures/reatment/vaccine rather than starting from scratch trying to figure this thing out.
I know this is the politics forum aud its the place where wacky talk is promoted but sticking to an actual fact or two would be great for everyone. Nonetheless, Cruz stated that "there is no evidence it came from the lab".
