But you don't, the only reason we're even discussing China now is because you brought it up as "but China!" when I want Fauci and Daszak to get consequences for keeping quiet and lying about what they knew early in the investigation. Here are your exact words: > We'd actually know better if China, not the US, but China, had been more forthcoming as to what exactly happened at the Wuhan Institute of Virology You can think China is equally responsible, they are not mutually exclusive views, but it's not really a response to my statement is it? It's shifting the blame. Fauci and Daszak denied any possibility of a lab leak, and should be prosecuted. The cynic in me even assumes this was outsourced to VIW in an attempt to cover up their tracks if shit hit the fan, don't fall for it.

What did they know that was pertinent? That the NIH had funded some gain of function research at WIV? What does that have to do with dealing with a current coronavirus outbreak? > Fauci and Daszak denied any possibility of a lab leak, and should be prosecuted. For what? Giving their opinion? WIV was specializing in this research. For very good reasons given that China was the source of SARS-CoV-1, and has a host of other animal populations and animal-to-human transfer scenarios (e.g. the Wuhan market where live wildlife is kept in close contact with humans for consumption) that the US does not have. Why not hire them to do what they are better able to do than any US institution?
