They’re parroting conspiracy theory nonsense about a lab leak and how the U.S. was ‘funding gain-of-function research’ as if that’s not what pretty much all virology research is these days.
The fact is we need institutes studying coronaviruses. Especially in Asia, where so many originate. This is a very bad idea.
It’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s an accidental leak. It’s happened before in the Soviet Union and people died, although it didn’t lead to an epidemic
The conspiracy theory is “COVID was engineered to affect Jews and Chinese less prior to being released on purpose”
These are different claims, and accidental leak is at least plausible and only blames the lab for improper safety precautions
The US was actually funding research in the Wuhan institute through the NIH. It makes sense, as the caves in that Chinese province are home to the bats that have corona viruses like the original SARS and possibly covid-19.
According to a review by the HHS, the facility in China’s Wuhan, where Covid is said to have first emerged, has violated biosafety protocols and is not complying with US regulations.
They disregarded bio safety regulations.
The lab, located in the city where the Covid pandemic is believed to have begun, has faced intense scrutiny due to its reported security lapses and over research that has been carried out on bat coronaviruses.
Specifically COVID research.
Intelligence officials of the Joe Biden administration have been pushed by lawmakers to release more material about the origins of Covid. But they have repeatedly argued that China’s official obstruction of independent reviews has perhaps made it impossible to determine how the pandemic began.
China is conspiring in obstruction per the top leaders of the land.
Unsupported claims about bio safety regulations regarding coronaviruses are worthless. And yes, the lab studies coronaviruses. I literally said that. What’s your point?
Are you questioning the factuality of The Independent as a news source or did you fail to read the article? The claims of safety regulation lapses and Chinese obstruction are coming from the Biden administration directly. Are you indicating that they are fraudulent?
They’re referring to the aphorism “like closing the barn door after the horses are out,” a phrase meaning “too little, too late.” Most likely referring to the theory that that particular lab leaked (either intentionally or through incompetence) COVID.
Barn door and horses.
Can you rephrase this for “city folk”

The U.S. funding part, which implies it was engineered, is the conspiracy theory nonsense part.

That is not an admission that COVID was engineered. The overwhelming scientific evidence is that it had a natural origin.

You cannot study viruses without gain-of-function research.
As for intelligence agencies, you’re incorrect in your assumption- https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/23/us/politics/covid-lab-leak-wuhan-report.html
If you want people to take you seriously, link to something other than notorious shitrag National Review. Everything after mentioning them is suspect.

You didn’t give a news source. There was no link.

The article is this post
What post? I’m still not seeing a link. Do you expect me to just accept your quotes out of context?
