I think a key attribute of this article that makes it notable is that its author is Jeff Sachs. On paper he has the maximum degree of normie credibility--his only disqualification these days is mounting arguments that counter the bourgeois narratives, which is only a disqualifier to the naive. As I read this I realized there are no reasons that have been articulated as to why covid couldn't have originated in and/or escaped from a lab funded by the U.S.

  • The U.S. gives no shits about treaties banning research of this type
  • It's absolutely not beyond the U.S. to invest in R&D into biological weapons
  • It's absolutely not beyond the U.S. to lie about something like this
  • There's no reason to believe the MSM wouldn't play ball with a coverup given the coverage of other aspects of covid

I wonder if the CPC is sitting on any info regarding this topic...

I don't think there is anything concrete enough that they would that they could actually use. Most likely this will be yet another "US denies this for 30 years and then after everyone has stopped caring quietly admits that they started it deliberately as a form of germ warfare."

Then again, they still deny the germ warfare they used in Korea to this day, so maybe not.

We need a whistleblower to confirm it. It's the only way we're ever going to find out the truth.

Everyone knows blowing this whistle is negatively correlated with longevity doomjak

Indeed, the only reason I thought it was worth posting was precisely because it was written by Sachs.
