China? Look into Peter Daszak, he even mentioned his bias when the WHO sent him to investigate his own lab. Fauci was involved in funding the research via NIH, and he didn't mention this when shit hit the fan. The goal of the research was to manipulate the virus to see if it could transfer to humans, ie gain-of-function. There's a reason it was conducted in China and it's not the chinese. And it gets worse, even though EcoHealth Alliance lied in their books they recently received another grant to keep doing similar research. It was discussed here at the time. What could go wrong? It's a rabbit hole but you might be surprised how corrupt it looks. Don't get fooled by those trying to shift your focus to China.

"Here look instead at the other people who did bad things too" is a great way to repeat every disaster and accident across history and learn zero lessons. The government of any place gets to take the blame for things happening in that place, even in more extreme cases where deeds were fully funded by a hostile government who sent in secret agents. ("The buck stops here"). So, if you want to blame $meme_de_jour as well, then go for it — but even if guilty, regardless of whether that's malice or incompetence or bad luck or a novel failure that nobody could have foreseen, that doesn't exonerate anyone else who dropped a ball, which China absolutely did more than once regardless of the origin, as they also tried to downplay the initial infections.
