Unless the take was "china invented the virus" (which is trivially and googleably false) I don't see how anyone in the west would care given that the we engage in the same (edit: actually, much more reckless and misanthropic) behavior. Unless it's just racism, of course. But then again nobody has ever accused the west of avoiding hypocrisy.
Just pity the terrified-but-patriotic simpletons who buy this shit, mock the evil assholes who start this shit credibility, and move on with your life without nightmares of a boogieman who will drink your blood because... just because, ok!??
- hurutparittya 2y agoI'm not sure what you mean by "invented", but as far as I know the Chinese lab leak theory is still widely accepted as credible and supported by many facts.

- ForTheKidz 2y agoOk but why would anyone care if they aren't calling for a shutdown of growth-of-function research? There's nothing essentially qualitatively different about China that make them more evil or less competent. Hence the comment about racism. Even if they did intend it as a weapon, they certainly could not have predicted how badly we would bungle the response. The complete lack of serious protest against growth-of-function research has led me to conclude this is almost pure racism/fearmongering/arrogance/special interests driving this narrative. This is just naked propaganda and there's zero substance to it. just "covid=china=bad".
