I've tried to care. If we ever found the 100% truth, it wouldn't change anything. The virus began in China, either through negligence, malfeasance, or the galactic stupidity of allowing wet markets. The one unifying theme is that China has brought catastrophic misery upon the world.
62% of Americans now believe the Covid 19 virus was created in and leaked from a lab33% believe it came from nature.54% think the Biden administration is covering up on the nature of its origins41% believe they’re not.Common sense.
100% of people shouldn't care.
Tracing it to its origin has scientific merit.
Sorry, 99.5% of people shouldn't care.The only reason people care is so they can play the "told you so" game.
The truth will set you free. Get Fr. Fauci in a smoke filled room until he squeals, aina?
I mean, it's pretty obvious that it came from aliens.
Not Jewish space lasers?
They're purely for "sanitization"
It is common knowledge that the average person is completely inept when it comes to basic science, so a poll of the average populations is meaningless when it comes to something like this.
It is common knowledge that the average person is completely inept when it comes to basic knowledge about politics, history, mathematics, English and any other discipline known to man. So what? This isn’t as much about science as it is spotting a self serving coverup when it’s staring you in the face. And when it comes to seeing (and smelling) a rat that’s right in front of you, average people do pretty well - and a 2-1 margin makes it a landslide.

Speaking of rats, perhaps this explains the Supreme Court's record-low approval ratings.
Theirs and Joe’s - yep.
This just in, 38% isn't a record low for presidents, dumbass.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_approval_rating
Only 10 of the previous 10 presidents have had approval ratings as low or lower than Biden.
That data in totality still isn't a great look for Biden. Its basically, Hey at least its not Trump!
Or Bush I or Bush II or Clinton or Reagan or Carter or Ford or Nixon or LBJ ... all of whom had lower approval ratings than what Biden has seen so far.I'd suggest it's neither a good or bad look. It's standard.
Standard? LOL. All presidents have ups and downs, looking at their lowest point is dishonest. Per dumbass Hard’s link, here are the average approval numbers for the last 10:GHW Bush 60.9LBJ. 55.1Clinton 55.1Reagan 52.8W Bush 49.4Nixon 49.1Obama 47.9Ford 47.2Carter 45.5Trump 40Biden presently has an incomplete as his term isn’t complete but is on pace to finish ahead of only Trump - so right near the bottom. Want to bet he doesn’t finish any higher than he currently sits? How much?
Standard? LOL. All presidents have ups and downs, looking at their lowest point is dishonest.
That's why everyone voted for the guy. Because the other guy is abominable.
Lenny: "I want to talk about Biden's 'record-low' approval rating."Also Lenny: "Looking at their lowest point is dishonest."Well done, sir.
Yea, I mean it was a no brainer and why I voted for him. But being the lesser of two evils isn’t a good endorsement for a President and his administration’s success IMO.
Yeah, but that's the American way, man.Our system is gross, and we vote for the less gross one. Usually.
Did any of you here care about the Ebola leak in 2014?
It sucks that nothing can ever be discussed like adults, because both the zoonotic spillover and lab leak explanations are based on meaningful combinations of pretty decent science, circumstantial evidence, and messed up incentives. The legitimate viability of both explanations expose a ton of improvements that need to be made to prevent something like this from happening. But we're collectively just gonna crap in our hands and throw it at each other and not fix anything.
Yea, no disagreement from me here. Said the same general thing to my father yesterday when talking about R vs D on some stuff. It was more just a commentary on the number of people I see online or hear in person who respond to any criticism of the Biden Admin with "yea, but Trump did/said/is...".I know many people who did, especially those who travel frequently abroad for both work or leisure. But I don't know why some snarky comparison to an outbreak that infected less than 30,000 people primarily in an area slightly larger than New England is remotely comparable to discussions or concerns over a the largest pandemic in a century that infected 22,000X as many people
RFK's response:https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1680227322509635595?t=t3PKUaoJrxPuPS-t_kqzAw&s=19
The thing that is problematic and challenging about RFKJ is that he sounds smart and informed enough to make his wacky viewpoints seem reasonable (to gullible or people susceptible to calls to authority), unlike demon seed or RFID chip implantation. The thing that REALLY pisses me off about him is that he's yet another outside of the traditional blue/red party line mold, but instead of being a catalyst for change or disruption, he's a crazy person easily written off by his lunacy.
The more he talks, the more he reveals and the sooner sane people will put him in the rearview.David Duke ran as a Democrat. Every now and then you get a crazy.
Putin, says the Nibbler, is losing the war in Iraq. Oh, and God save the Queen. Yeah, people are stupid, hey?
Good chance neither da Buffoon nor Trump will be their party's nominee, hey?
Only if Trump is in prison and Biden is dead.
Even if Trump is in prison I bet he'll be nominee. The party is too fractured to spit out a competent candidate, and their voters too taken by the grift to vote for anyone else.
