Theory does not match the time frame to begin with because how did a virus from WIV manage to create thousands+ of cases of people who have post-infection antibodies in faraway America and Italy before it even created cases in China.
Does nothing to explain spells of pneumonia in central America throughout the entire summer which coincidentally never ever happened again after covid started, nor how Italy was the first European country to have known cases despite completely shutting down travel to China.
Because some countries refuse to further contract trace, research into origins are impossible. But if it leaked from a lab, then it must be a lab from countries that have more cases of covid than China despite having no travel with China.
If no one else signs up to this, which is fairly likely, do they not make a fool of themselves?
pigs are awesome animals who don't complain, mind their own business and don't shit everywhere in their natural habitat.
if only their kind would behave 0.1% like a pig.
Cannot do anything about it.
The Indian image of themselves, is that they are independent but aligned with the West, therefore they associate themselves with what they perceive as the winning side.
From that philosophical starting point, of their place in the world and in history, they fully believe they are ahead of China, a poor backward country. Any hints of China mega cities and wealth, all very minor details, as China is poor and extremely backwards in their minds.
When China demonstrates something better than the Americans, it hits the Indians like a double whammy.
Any Chinese advances in science or technology, or China improves its geopolitical position, not only it is a move that benefits China who is a rival, it also strikes directly and negatively against India's worldview and self-image.
They need to vent.
Cannot do anything about it.
Often we find that commentators in the West and many Indian commentators say that China is weak in basic science and basic research.
Whether that is true is not the point. We know they will not research that. What they really want to say, it is a backhanded attempt to say China is not as good as the West and never will be, according to their worldview.
Again, cannot do anything about it.
My view is that their ideology is their problem.
No more, no less.
India has always been petty and arrogant. Despite this and the previous humiliating welcome of FM Wang Yi, I can bet you the next time that pompous clown Jaishankar visits China, he will be treated with utmost respect. Insecure, jealous & arrogant third world craphole vs a strong, confident and dignified superpower, quite a strong contrast.
I see it as likely. Europe. Canada, Australia and Japan seem wanting to have a go with China.
In fact every major Chinese city has something like a dozen CDC buildings. These are not really laboratories but more like medical centres.
Here, for instance, are the CDC buildings in Nanjing.
Wuhan also has about a dozen.
With this systemic network, it's almost impossible for a new disease to occur in a major city without being near a CDC building.
Which, of course, is the purpose of those buildings.
After all, the goal of the CDC is to deter new disease outbreaks. China therefore deliberately puts CDC buildings in a network in major cities, so that new disease outbreaks are detected and suppressed. The fact that there's a CDC building near a new disease outbreak is not a nefarious conspiracy. It's proof that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention is doing what it's supposed to do - detecting, controlling, and preventing new diseases.
