Actively censoring even questioning where the virus came from.

It's not about punishing China - does anyone realistically think China will ever suffer any consequences?

It's about where a pandemic that killed millions of people originated. If it was a lab accident, we should know how and why so that we can take steps to ensure it never happens again. We owe that to the dead.

What I have no patience for - at all - are people who try to block investigating this because they think it "absolves" Trump in some way. As if it makes his cruelty, incompetence, and ignorance magically disappear. It does not.

We should always strive to understand facts and the truth - not actively work against them because we don't like what the narrative could be.

It's good they're investigating. I spoke up about this a few times. Got a few hides for it, too. Facts don't care about narratives.
