YoBuckStopsHereUS ceases funding to Wuhan institute amid Covid probe

TonyTonyChopperCan you rephrase this for “city folk”
Flying SquidThey’re parroting conspiracy theory nonsense about a lab leak and how the U.S. was ‘funding gain-of-function research’ as if that’s not what pretty much all virology research is these days.
The fact is we need institutes studying coronaviruses. Especially in Asia, where so many originate. This is a very bad idea.
Conspiracy theory nonsense?
How is this nonsense?
According to a review by the HHS, the facility in China’s Wuhan, where Covid is said to have first emerged, has violated biosafety protocols and is not complying with US regulations.
They disregarded bio safety regulations.
The lab, located in the city where the Covid pandemic is believed to have begun, has faced intense scrutiny due to its reported security lapses and over research that has been carried out on bat coronaviruses.
Specifically COVID research.
Intelligence officials of the Joe Biden administration have been pushed by lawmakers to release more material about the origins of Covid. But they have repeatedly argued that China’s official obstruction of independent reviews has perhaps made it impossible to determine how the pandemic began.
China is conspiring in obstruction per the top leaders of the land.
Unsupported claims about bio safety regulations regarding coronaviruses are worthless. And yes, the lab studies coronaviruses. I literally said that. What’s your point?
Are you questioning the factuality of The Independent as a news source or did you fail to read the article? The claims of safety regulations lapses and achínese obstruction are coming from the Biden administration directly. Are you indicating that they are fraudulent?
You didn’t give a news source. There was no link.

What post? I’m still not seeing a link. Do you expect me to just accept your quotes out of context?

Ah, that article. Gotcha. The one that says:
Last month, the US officials released an intelligence report and rejected several points raised by those who argued that Covid leaked from a Chinese lab, instead reiterating that American spy agencies remain divided over how the pandemic began.
The report said the intelligence community has not gone further in determining Covid’s origins.
This does not negate the HHS claims that the lab was being negligent and unsafe.
