3. Honestly what will knowing the origin change in terms of how to treat COVID?

Whether it originated in a lab or animals, does that meaningfully change how to address COVID? Still gonna use vaccinations, and if the CDC updates their recommendations with a new trivalent booster, I'm gonna get it.

Yes, it will be a political shitbomb if it came from WIV, even if it's release was accidental. But we're still gonna have to treat it.

What? If it came from WIV, and even if it were intentional, then we should not use the approved vaccines. Instead use those that China has produced, which is why BioNTech vaccines are now being imported to China.

There is circumstantial evidence that points to a lab origin, but I look to the overwhelming majority of peer reviewed papers saying natural origins.

If we did our own research and trusted our senses, we might be inclined to believe the Earth is flat.

Wonder if McCarthy will hold those hearings?
