I hate to point out the obvious, but that lab had the same name as the virus because it was studying variants of SARS, which is 80% the same as the Covid coronavirus.

The truth is that we don't know where this one came from and might never know That pangolin variant could have been passed to humans mutating silently over a long time before the cluster of cases emerged in Wuhan.

Tjat "slaughter while u wait" wet market wasn't the origin of the virus, but it was certainly the first large scale victim of it

What we do know about that lab is that the WHO cited them for sloppy procedures and that they and the CDC had teams helping them tighten things up. So what did Dumdum do? Pulled the CDC out and tried to defund the WHO.

Stewart is feeding into his anti China bullshit. It is not helpful.
