In reply to the discussion: Agency Says Lab Leak Most Likely Origin of Covid-19 [View all]Sympthsical
(11,242 posts)No one can tell me the behavior of Peter Daszak in the wake of the virus shouldn't have been setting off alarm bells left and right. In fact, it was his behavior - when he started a coordinated pressure campaign so early on and then lobbied media to censor other views - that made my ears perk up that something potentially was going on. He worked hard to make sure no one could ask origin questions.
And what it told me was this: Even if we didn't know whether or not the virus originated from a lab, Daszak's reaction shows he very much at least thought that it could have.
While people were just starting to die and it was spreading - before even the first lockdown - he was running around behind the scenes with his hair on fire making sure no one could discuss it.
I just don't understand how people saw that and thought, "This is fine. This is totally how a normal, not potentially culpable person reasonably behaves."
"Believe Science" and "Don't ask questions" are not reconcilable statements by definition.
