Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Anyone else old enough to remember when some asshole was claiming Tom Cotton...

was pushing a right-wing conspiracy theory when he claimed the virus could have come from a Chinese lab?

US officials were reportedly concerned that safety breaches at a Wuhan lab studying coronavirus in bats could cause a pandemic

    So the lab was flagged for possible safety violations
    They were studying coronavirus in animals
    Lab located in the city that is the epicenter of the outbreak.

    Seems clear to me. You're a racist.

    And a right wing conspiracy theorist, just like that right wing rag the Washington Post.

    Seems clear blob craves my attention again.

    Studying a virus is different than claiming the virus was created as an potential instrument of war. Smart people grasp the distinction.

    It doesn't matter for what purpose, the virus still came from them, and by not following proper procedures, they created a global pandemic. I think you give China two choices: Forgive some foreign debt as compensation for causing the global economic collapse, or economic sanction the fuck out of them.

    Nope, I love exposing you for the lying piece of shit that you are. Weird how you never quote Cotton saying what you keep claiming he said.

    Lying Kunts tend to do that a lot.

    He has an entire twitter conversation where he engages in saying both (1) he didn't promote the conspiracy theory and (2) that he refuses to rule it out--though science has ruled it out. In short, he's as shady as you are, blob.

    Science has ruled out that it was created in a lab? Got a link Kunt? Because the intent for which it might of been created doesn't seem to be something that can be determined by Science.

    So you've gone from claiming Cotton "promoted" a "conspiracy theory" that it was a Chinese made bio-weapon to now admitting that he just didn't "rule it out."

    And of course, you have no quotes from Cotton.

    I'll leave you to parse the distinction between not eliminating a debunked conspiracy theory from consideration and promoting it.

    I'm not saying you're a donkey human hybrid; I'm merely saying it's one of the possibilities.

    Do you mean like the way "science" said that it couldn't be transmitted from human to human and that it came from a Chinese meat market? Science!!!

    Since you're too big a pathological lying piece of shit to quote Cotton here it is.




    Wow, look at the way he "promoted" that theory.

    Why do we fund our enemy? Why are Chinese scientists in our research labs all over the country? Why are we allowing them to steal everything?

    It didn’t start in a lab. Everyone says so. 97% or all scientists agree

    Best evidence is that it wasn't bioengineered but best evidence is that it did escape from the chicom biolab. The counselor thinks that is just swell and just needs 75k more dead Americans to win some chicom prize money.

    WSJ OpEd: Coronavirus and the Laboratories in Wuhan

    While the Chinese government denies the possibility of a lab leak, its actions tell a different story. The Chinese military posted its top epidemiologist to the Institute of Virology in January. In February Chairman Xi Jinping urged swift implementation of new biosafety rules to govern pathogens in laboratory settings. Academic papers about the virus’s origins are now subject to prior restraint by the government.

    In early January, enforcers threatened doctors who warned their colleagues about the virus. Among them was Li Wenliang, who died of Covid-19 in February. Laboratories working to sequence the virus’s genetic code were ordered to destroy their samples. The laboratory that first published the virus’s genome was shut down, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post reported in February.

    This evidence is circumstantial, to be sure, but it all points toward the Wuhan labs. Thanks to the Chinese coverup, we may never have direct, conclusive evidence—intelligence rarely works that way—but Americans justifiably can use common sense to follow the inherent logic of events to their likely conclusion.

    Mr. Cotton, a Republican, is a U.S. senator from Arkansas.

    "It's science!" is pretty much the refrain of people poorly versed in how wildly variable scientific modeling actually is. Nothing like having someone with a liberal arts degree lecturing me about exponential equations or peer review.
