Fauci Rejects Right-Wing Theory Alleging That COVID-19 Came From Chinese Lab

On Monday, White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci dismissed the idea that COVID-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan, Chin, a theory President Donald Trump and his GOP allies have floated in recent days.

I don’t know.

Should I listen to Trump and his right-winger allies? Or should I listen to Fauci and evolutionary biologists?

I just can decide…

Trump has ordered the intelligence community to launch an investigation

Results to be announced at a grand military parade.

Venue: “Wall.”

With Trump in his “Space Force” costume.

So who’s in charge of this banana republic?

I’m told that Tony Fauci is a sell-out.

Your choice is really no choice at all.

I bet Fauci never thought he would end his career in government this way by telling the truth. Its just plain batty I tell you. tRump will never let him get away speaking to a highly respected publication and contradicting him this many times. Happy talk and conspiracy theories are all that’s allowed.

Fauci told National Geographic that the theory doesn’t hold up when examined through the lens of science.

Of course it doesn’t, but it’s real clear when viewed through the lenses of denial and stupidity.

They’re trying to kill him. They’re trying to kill Anthony Fauci with a tidal wave of dangerous, lethal stupidity.

Let’s go with this. If this were from a Chinese Lab and the virus has killed this many people, then we have to all agree the Chinese scientists are brilliant in the ability to engineer such a virus and spread it. I’m sure Trump will immediately recognize the accomplishment. However, It’s amazing that the chinese were able to do this and US Intelligence didn’t pick up anything. Intelligence doesn’t do much after the fact…

So 45 is pushing a theory that relies on superior efforts by the chinese, poor efforts by US intelligence, and recognition the US got caught flat footed on that superior effort we failed to see coming?

Good ole’ Donny…why stick with 1 failure when 3 failures can be found…

If President Skanky Turdface, dirty Cuck Kushner and Mike Pompeo believe that the chinese virus was a biological weapon deployed to kill thousands of Americans, they should be calling for immediate sanctions, asset freezes and war. Where is the Secretary of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff? I hope that the laboratory in Wuhan is the first target for an air and space shock and awe campaign. China is already readying for war and attacks from the United States military:

Finally, a voice of reason to read about instead of the mutterings of sycophantic toadies, grifters or the ravings of someone with a semi-automatic over their shoulder. This is a much better way to start the day. Thank you Dr. Fauci.

He’ll be okay (though, I’m not sure if we will), because I’m also sure that Fauci prefers his career in science more.

The Wuhan lab is the present day Mobile Chemical Warfare Labs that SOB Colin Powell told us about. An excuse to start a war with China. Hopefully someone gets into Trump’s thick skull that China can actually defend themselves and have retaliatory capabilities. That’s the World War III that he claimed Hillary was going to get us into.

“A number of very qualified evolutionary biologists”

That must be code for “deep state”.

Because the three failures are all Obama’s fault.

The idea that COVID came from a lab in Wuhan is not a theory. Everyone saying it knows it’s false. No one believes it. It’s a fabrication built to give the rubes and gullible others something to vent at when they should be venting at Trump. It a Trump 2020 ploy. It the theory was true it would constitute an assault on America 25 fold that of 9/11 and rising. No response?

But what if it was true? Why did most of the world do a better job in dealing with it than the USA? Does the fact that it was man made change Trump’s handling of it?

From now on there will be no Trump tweet, no Administration public statement or any policy adoption that is not purposed on getting Trump reelected. If it comes from anywhere near the White House look for that angle in it and you’ll know the truth of it.
