Description

Chan said there had been trepidation among some scientists about publicly discussing the lab leak hypothesis for fear that their words could be misconstrued or used to support racist rhetoric about how the coronavirus emerged. Trump fueled accusations that the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a research lab in the city where the first Covid-19 cases were reported, was connected to the outbreak, and on numerous occasions he called the pathogen the "Wuhan virus" or "kung flu." ... The shift reflects how some scientists who previously avoided the topic or were quick to dismiss it are grappling with enduring uncertainties about the virus's origin, free from the politicization that clouded such discussions during the Trump administration.... ... So while America was told to follow the science, scientists chose to play politics. "At the time, it was scarier to be associated with Trump and to become a tool for racists, so people didn't want to publicly call for an investigation into lab origins," said Chan. the next libtard that tells me to trust the science,, I seriously am going to slap them along side the head....what else are they lieing about? how much money were they paid? $cience lol...and this is what happens when you call anything including a ham sandwich "racist". racist racist, oh look mommy there is an airplane up in he sky...racist... hey wanna go get a drink? racist. you people are sick and I told you many times you are going to get us all killed...
