Trump's mishandling of COVID caused the needless deaths of over one million Americans. Also, consider that presidents' second terms are generally worse than their first. How many people will Trump kill this time around? Wrap your head around that.

No, the virus caused the deaths. If we learned anything about Covid it was everyone was going to get it. The goal was to get the vaccine and Trump and the government had Warp Speed and he got vaccinated as well. People made individual choices and a lot of paid for it.

If it was a lab leak, China didn't plan it, but the scientists were very sloppy with their research protocols. That's why I think that acknowledging that it may very well have been a lab leak is important. It helps underscore the need to do this kind of research in more secure conditions and also foster debate on whether we should be doing this sort of research at all. And if it's ever definitively proven there was a lab leak, the conversations become even more important.

I agree that it's very, very unlikely that there was an intentional release of a bio weapon. China got hit pretty hard too. I think its possible that the research was for a bioweapon, but consider it unlikely. Too many eyes on it.

The other reason it is important to nail down this issue is to determine whether it is in fact technically possible to engineer a virus that can cause a worldwide pandemic. We can speculate that a bioweapon is possible, but we don't know whether it is. If lab leak were confirmed, it would definitively answer that it is possible to engineer a bioweapon.

I think it’s pretty clear it is possible. Doesn’t mean Covid is one but it’s obvious that it’s possible.

Is it? I don't really know enough to determine if you can actually manipulate a virus synthetically.

One possible scenario, pointed out in the opinion piece, is that a scientist doing research on an animal may have been exposed to an airborne pathogen and then spread it accidentally. That would still be a lab leak, but doesn't necessarily mean it's an engineered bio weapon.

And of course a bio weapon doesn't have to be engineered. If you can identify a disease, create a cure or other protocols to keep it from infecting your population, and release it on your enemy's populations, it can be a pretty effective weapon.

We don't know if a virus manipulated through non-evolutionary methods can spread throughout the world. While you may think it is "pretty clear" and "obvious" that it is "possible," that is not exactly the kind of thing that can be ethically tested via the scientific method. Thus, there is significant value in nailing down the Covid origin issue to address this issue.

Were you even alive five years ago? Trump advised people to not wear masks. He spoke about the curative effects of quack cures and getting back to places where the virus could spread. He was ambivalent about the vaccine and getting boosters. You sound as idiotic as Dr. Lynch.

P.S. - As for your stupid claim that "everyone was going to get it", I didn't get it, my wife didn't get it, my sister didn't get it, my niece didn't get it, my nephew didn't get it, several neighbors didn't get it. The common theme for the health of all these individuals? They didn't listen to you or our genocidal president. Again, answer the question - is Trump going to kill more than a million this term?

You absolutely have gotten Covid. Lol that you don’t think did.

What is "pretty clear", "obvious", and "possible" is that HintonJames is a maga idiot and a disgrace to the residence hall.

I am a disgrace but not for that reason.

I think Covid is complex. I think so much should have been done differently and I don’t blame really anyone but China on the coverup. I think Fauci was outstanding in a very rough spot. Trump was Trump. Loony and maybe wanting to do good but he’s so stupid he just couldn’t allow himself to do good. I think we made a shit ton of mistakes but very few were ill-intentioned.
 
UNCMSinLS said:
LOL. You got it because you were an idiot. I didn't because I'm not. Thankfully (???) you didn't die so we can enjoy your science-free takes on this board.

I have had four shots and I have never tested positive or felt sick. I’ve had Covid. You need to educate yourself on how contagious the virus is. You’ve had it. Just like Trump and Biden and Harris and 99% of the country.

I wasn’t an idiot for getting a virus that’s so contagious you just have to live. I guess you could have avoided if you never leave the house lol.

The problem is millions of maga idiots listened to Trump and followed his advice. Many of those died or permanently maimed themselves. If they had listened to the doctors, scientists, and virologists I listened to, they'd be fine now. I do agree with you that Trump is "loony" and "stupid". He also has blood on his hands. Again, how many more is he going to kill this term?

They made choices and dumb ones at that.

LOL, indeed. This sounds exactly like Dr. Lynch. Luckily, I didn't listen to his advice either. People make choices. They can listen to Trump and Fox and die. Or they can listen to the science and live. Since you won't answer the question I've posed multiple times, I'll answer it for you. Considering the fact that your "loony" and 'stupid" savior is gutting all health science in and out of government, I think Trump will kill over 2 million Americans this go-round.

You think those who got Covid are dumb?

This is such a fucking bad post. Fuck-face, I know lot's of folks who listened to their doctors, the scientists, the virologists, masked, got the vaccine and boosters, social distanced, and so forth, and still got the virus, still had horrible bouts with it, and some who didn't make it. And no, you fucking idiot, catching covid does not mean that you are stupid. What the fuck is wrong with you?
