Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton says Coronavirus may have originated in Wuhan 'Super Laboratory'
Washington Examiner ^ | Jan 30, 2020 | Spencer Neale

Posted on 02/08/2020 5:21:34 PM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

The Arkansas Republican cited a study published by the Lancet that showed of the original 40 cases in Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, 14 people who contracted the virus never set foot in the Wuhan wildlife market where Chinese authorities have claimed the virus originated.

"As one epidemiologist said, 'That virus went into the seafood market before it came out of the seafood market.' We still don't know where it originated," Cotton said. "I would note that Wuhan also has China's only biosafety level four super laboratory that works with the world's most deadly pathogens to include, yes, coronavirus."

The Washington Times reported last week that Wuhan Institute of Virology is the only laboratory in China capable of working with such deadly pathogens.

@SenTomCotton
China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.

Coronavirus got out prematurely. It was supposed to be perfected then let loose here. 300 million Americans infected would be easy pickings.

First your supposed to develop the vaccine.

Then inoculate your populace.

Then infect your enemies.

Then after letting them die horribly for a few months announce that you are working on a vaccine.

A few months after that sell your enemies the vaccine at ridiculous prices.

Having crimpled your enemies economically, walk in and buy up the country at fire sale prices.

No need for huge armies and navies. But you have to get the order correct.

Has anyone speculated that this was actually the work of Donald Trump?

Firs topic on hourly news was the coronavirus. Cited 30,000 total cases and 400 deaths. That is 1.3%.

They are saying that case is still being investigated but it has nothing to do with this. Official position

Wuhan wildlife market where Chinese authorities have claimed the virus originated.

The Chinese communists would never lie about it, would they? 😁

I don’t believe the virus was constructed - but it may have been disseminated/distributed.

I believe the Russians floated that idea. I’m amazed that the democrats are letting this crisis go to waste.

“Aids was used to take out drug users and homosexuals-2 groups that were not too popular.”

I’ve believed that since day 1. It would be easy to track and follow results with gay men being a small segment of society

So far the ONLY man with courage to say it. Others, including some we worship on this forum, give 100 MILLION DOLLARS to those that CREATED this problem in the first place. To DESTROY us. And we praise them, and throw money at them. 100 million can go in THIS country to fight it when it comes here.

“The Chinese released numbers of 15% to 17% mortality which they then took down again.”

No, they didn’t. This situation is bad enough without making sh^t up.
