Hmm, I’m looking at the Forster paper and I don’t see where they wrote that the origin might not be Wuhan. Unless it’s peer-reviewed and published, I’m not going to count it as evidence. As far as I can see, you’re citing one dude’s specula

I have to trust they audit the data, trial sites, manufacturing plants, etc… That’s sort of their job. If the people working there don’t want to do that job, they should probably be replaced.

It’s about using racial rhetoric in a self-serving way. Isn’t that what people are talking about here?

What should have happened in your opinion? I can’t tell if you’re saying ordinary people shouldn’t have been asked such an important question, or what.

VCs intend to make money off you one way or another. At the very least I would consider not dismissing those who are upfront about it.
