Wuhan lab leak?

34. Correct. There is no "logical" way that he should escape responsiblity.

However, we have to remember that we are not dealing with a logical situation here. We are dealing with a swath of people in the United States, and a party apparatus, that has seized upon the stupidest, silliest conspiracies to maintain a cohesion. They cannot deal with the reality of the situation.

Look at the conservative response to January 6th. At first they acknowledged it was bad, and Trump had played a role in it happening. Then they said it didn't happen, then it was Antifa, then it was peaceful. They cannot acknowledge the truth because they are complicit.

They cannot acknowledge the facts and truth that the very same "natural" or "lab leaked" virus hit other countries and they were able to manage the outbreak without all of the deaths, casualties, and economic destruction that happened in the United States, because they had competent leadership. So, they are trying to maintain a focus that somehow China had it in for us and it was all China's fault.

It's like parallel play. The rest of the world is trying to solve a problem that can inform us and prepare us for the next pandemic (which will come). Conservatives in the US are trying to create a problem to avoid their incompetence and/or malfeasance in dealing with this pandemic.
