The cover-up was going on as recently as a few weeks ago when The Elf was questioned by Senator Paul. He stated his organization did not fund "gain of function" research at the Wuhan lab which we know from actual documents was a lie.

The link to the article I posted above provides some info on how scientists with vested interests in covering up what the Wuhan lab was doing provides even more proof of a cover-up. Add to this, the information you just posted.

This is why I say the investigation into the source of the SARS-COV-2 virus can not be lead by the scientific community and it certainly can not be lead by the WHO. The WHO had their chance and failed miserably. The amateur investigators mentioned in the article I posted produced much more compelling information than the WHO and their "investigators" produced.

The investigation needs to be lead by US Intelligence, using the data gathered by the amateur investigators (they have a lot more info they are still going through) and information the intelligence investigators may possess. Scientists should be advisors to help the investigators understand the info, but they should not lead any investigation.
Seems to me that we should start charging people with lying to Congress.....


You would certainly think so. Apparently the propaganda arm is running interference for him to prevent just that. Think I read a tweet that MSNBC had Fauci on and said the release of Fauci's emails made him look better. There is literally zero effort to report the truth. It is all propaganda.

Jeez. Daszak needs to be in a prison somewhere.

This was quite interesting as well.

"The inflammatory idea of SARS-CoV-2-as-bioweapon has gained traction as an alt-right conspiracy theory, but civilian research under Shi's supervision that has yet to be made public raises more realistic concerns. Shi's own comments to a science journal, and grant information available on a Chinese government database, suggest that in the past three years her team has tested two novel but undisclosed bat coronaviruses on humanized mice, to gauge their infectiousness. "
I agree 100% on Daszak. Those were my exact thoughts last night as I read the Newsweek article. At the least, he should be stripped of his ability to fund and conduct any research in the future. He purposely and willingly worked behind the scenes to mislead and obfuscate any investigation into the potential of a lab-leak from the Wuhan virology lab.

Comparing the handling of a novel coronavirus to the border crisis isn't even close to the same. It's basically just trying to appeal to everyone as a centrist. There is nothing similar about the coronavirus and the border and how they should be handled.

It does not matter what Trump did. It would have been framed negatively. He blocked travel to China. Racist/xenophobic. Democrat leaders started appealing to their constituents to go to festivals. He says he didn't want to cause panic, so he was too weak. There is zero effort required to see that it did not matter what he did, it would be framed negatively. Absolutely he could have done some things better, but the goal was not working together to inform the public. The goal was to try to trip up the president and get him out of office.

Civ saying this could have been his 911 is ridiculous. We didn't have a state press back then. They were getting close, but not fully invested in propaganda like they are today. That is revisionist history to pretend 1 the situations are remotely similar and 2 that he would have been written about favorably. Heck we freaking have it on record that major news outlets said that things can be true even if Trump said it. Lol. They are admitting that they manufactured news. If Trump said/did something, they took the opposite position. Hell, just look at coverage of Trump getting ice cream versus Biden getting ice cream.

We still don't have evidence that lockdowns worked. Why would it have been strong for him to do more lockdowns early? Or is the position that Trump being strong on lockdowns would have ended them sooner because the left and their propaganda arm would have been against it? Trump was strong on manufacturing items as they were needed. Do we so easily forget how Trump was going to be responsible for all of the deaths from not having enough ventilators in NY, then they had more than they needed. Same with hospital beds. Same with PPD. Same with vaccines. Strong leadership was never looked for, nor credited. Critiqued leadership is all that was allowed. And unfortunately it seems they had the cdc working as partisans and not scientists.

But I know that doesn't matter, because Trump.

Edit to add. Jumping back to that border crisis comparison, Pence or Trump met with the media everyday to give updates. The current Vice President who was chosen to lead the response to the border crisis hasn't held a PC in 70 days. That would be much bigger news with the previous administration.
Right, they were not the same in context. But leadership in crisis is leadership in crisis.

Look, I don't disagree with most of what you say -- I'm a believer the media, as a whole, had a major role in the divisiveness. They don't get a pass here...as I'd posted just yesterday, this lab revision is evidence they allowed emotion to get in the way

But sorry, you'll never convince me that Trump was a good leader thru the worst of the crisis. He suspended flights to China....ok, great. He also ridiculed and mocked those wearing masks (despite almost uniform medical guidance taht it would reduce spread (no one ever said prevent, except those who wanted to attack the message)). As for messaging -- he went on 60 Minutes to convey his message, and basically said he didn't want to tell the people it was serious. WTH? Your job is to keep your people safe. Tell them the truth....that this thing was deadly, and that they should treat it as such. CAlling people weak for wearing masks? That is the opposite of leadership.

But to me, most significantly....people, in times of crisis, want some compassion. He is perhaps the least compassionate person who has ever lead the country at least in the last 4 decades. (I don't know if Obama was really compassionate or not, but holy crap, could he look like he was). Whether it was the fault of the Chinese, Russians, Democrat media moguls, or aliens....at some point we had thousands of Americans dead and families impacted by loss of family members, health, and jobs....and I'm not sure he ever came across as being compassionate for that. And ultimately, that resonates.

If he'd been a compassionate leader, and told Americans to protect themselves and their loved ones, and acted like this thing was real from day one, he'd still be POTUS.

No way to prove that of course, just a gut feel, that those things would have been much more critical than a finely tuned economy.
Didn't you and your family travel out west (I presume that you flew) on a major trip (Yellowstone or similar) right in the middle of when these compassionate "powers that be" were advising Americans not to travel (presumably to keep everybody "safe") during the midst of the pandemic about a year ago in June or thereabouts?

I mean we get it. You don't like Trump and you didn't like him before that either and you made that very, very clear in your posts at that time... so please stop trying to prop up Civ's revisionist history "this could have been Trump's 911" post.

It wouldn't have mattered what Trump did and you know it - and so to say otherwise here now is nothing but disingenuous.

The press attacked him and his press secretary beginning DAY 1 non-stop... the first 10 minutes of every single 6:30 PM national news broadcast on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc. was nothing but Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump! (we've got him this time) and Russia! Russia! Russia!
Yellowstone. You should try it....maybe you wouldn't be son angry all the time! IIRC, they'd actually just started allowing flights a month or so before with restrictions, but it was certainly a bit worrisome to hop on a fully loaded plane. But hey, I stayed busy going out to restaurants and shopping and vacations even thru Covid -- I figured i could control my own actions as a natural social distancer to stay safe.

We can agree to disagree on Trump's ability to be re-elected. Media hurt, but he p'd down his own leg way too many times.
I'm not angry and I don't even have anything against you and your family going to Yellowstone last year either... but, what I am saying, is that you are talking out of both sides of your mouth... and if you think that if Trump taking a different stance on anything was going to get him more favorable coverage from the press, then I just don't know what to say. We all know better than that.

I too continued to live my life during covid and have no issue that you decided to live yours also...

Are you still having to wear a mask in certain situations?

I haven't had one on even once since the Cooper announcement and I've been in tons of retailers and restaurants... I did carry one in the car for the first 2-3 days, but once I saw that I was in the clear everywhere, all over the place I discontinued that practice.

Yes, professionally there are situations where I am still requested to wear a mask. There are also a few places that I go to that have kept their requirements for masks, one restaurant in particular that I was in last week still required them.

Was pleasantly surprised to go into a Walgreens last night and find that they only "recommend" masks and even then, they go out of their way to exempt the vaccinated. At this point, I won't do business with any holdouts insisting on it.

It was a little funny to watch the Canes game the other night where you had a full house with no masks in the stands and none of the players on the ice or on the bench with masks, and yet the coaches had masks on.

So had to go to an Atrium Healthcare Imaging Center to have a scan done. They had a "mask required" sign up. I had one with me, so no big deal to comply. But 2 Q's come to mind

1) Given your stance, as they are a holdout, would you just skip your appointment?
2) For the medical guys that post here -- why would medical offices still insist on all masks? If employees are not vaccinated, I could understand requiring them to wear masks but why patients?

I was at the first Canes came that did not require masks. We went to a game during the first round and masks were required and most people wore them throughout the game. This past weekend, we attended the first game against the Lightning and as we were waiting in line to enter, they placed a sign by the doors saying masks were "recommended." We asked and a security person confirmed we did not have to wear a mask if vaccinated. So, we entered without masks and watched the entire game, indoors with approximately 18,000 people and never wore our masks. I would estimate 5% of people still wore masks and that is fine. I am not judging anyone who continues to wear one, but I am not wearing one, if it is not required.

My wife and I had to go to Target last night and they have removed the signs on the door saying masks are required, so we did not wear one while shopping. Unlike the hockey game, I would estimate 90% of the people we saw in the store were wearing masks. My wife and I were some of the very few with no masks. After leaving there, we headed to a Walmart nearby. Of course, Walmart does not require masks to be worn and I would estimate approximately 50% of the people we saw in the store were not wearing a mask - same as my wife and I.

Every restaurant I have eaten in, since the lifting of the mask requirement, has not required the wearing of a mask. We did attend one function a couple of weeks ago (my son's college graduation) that required the wearing a mask while indoors. Once we exited the coliseum, we were able to remove our masks.

My son returned to campus this week for Summer conditioning and upon his return, he was tested for Covid (as were all athletes returning). Since he is vaccinated, he no longer is required to wear a mask while conditioning or weightlifting indoors or while outdoors. He also will not be tested anymore, unless he becomes symptomatic. He does have to complete the daily health-check screening and submit it to the database. Those who are not vaccinated yet (a very small percentage of players), must continue to wear a mask for all conditioning and weightlifting sessions. The unvaccinated players are also being tested weekly for Covid-19. If my son comes in contact with a person who is positive for Covid-19, he does not have to quarantine (like he did multiple times last season - he was never infected). Those players who are unvaccinated will have to quarantine if they do come in close contact with an infected individual.

I'm referring generally to optional business establishments more than, say, a healthcare facility, where I can choose their loser competition, if I don't like their stance.

Which leading into your second question, I can't answer. Hospitals have their policies and like government, they don't have to make sense.

OK....so, just where you have a "choice" - fair enough. I was in Sea Pines the last 5 days, and we were out and about a lot, and only saw one small store with a required mask. We didn't have our masks with us at the time, so did not go in. But most indoor places, still saw mixed bag -- workers often with masks on, customers -- almost all the older folks I saw had them on, but younger, no.

RE: medical offices....i wasn't bothered by it, but considering that should be the heart of scientific thinking, I was a little surprised. OTOH, i always feel like germs are jumping all over me when i walk into any medical building....

Similar -- my 3 big retail stores are Target, Lowes, and HT. Target and HT still are heavily masked, Lowes -- more of a mix of construction / landscaping workers in the crowds, and seems like masking is out with that group (Which is ok if vaccinated).

Re: Target & HT -- I think it becomes the norm. We've been wearing them for a year. People have gotten used to it, its not like it really bothers you (unless you want to be bothered), so it just happens.
Restaurants -- well, its almost unnatural to wear one into a restaurant, and its going to come off if you stay there, so just seems easier to set them aside.

I've been to Harris-Teeter at least 5 times since Cooper spoke and have never worn a mask once... I was in Target last Friday without one and no one said a thing or even bothered looking at me because there were plenty of others not wearing them either.

I can't believe that some people are still wearing them because of a sign that no one working in that store cares anything about.

To your mask question, as far as our office is concerned, we have had no guidance from the administration to be able to stop requiring masks at this point. We do still see COVID patients, but these have dropped from 15-20 per day to roughly 5 per week. We have 16 employees at our office, 3 remain unvaccinated. Before GP jumps in here, all 3 are non-clinical individuals (meaning not a nurse or provider). Our county is at 30% with at least 1 dose currently and has not moved much over the past 2-3 weeks. We do see very immunocompromised individuals which would be the concern, but I think there are ways to protect them like we always have with other viruses in the past.

We continue to ask when we can stop masking, but have yet to get an answer at this point. I know we are all ready to get rid of them. It will likely (my guess) be a vaccinated can remove them at first and then expand to unvaccinated outside of viral/flu season. We shall see.

I have heard rumors from other providers that the CDC was very close to releasing formal guidance for healthcare specific entities, but they have not done that so far that I am aware of.

Hell they hadn't had an original thought since they found CNN and MSNBC......

I for one enjoy seeing the idiots with masks on. They are the same ones that had on P@@#$^ hats and were screaming at the sky. It makes it easy to see who can think for themselves and who relies on the MSM for their thoughts.

At the Harris Teeters near me, I see roughly half the people still wearing masks and most of the store employees. At the Target I mentioned, most employees had masks, but I saw a couple stocking shelves without a mask. As I said earlier, it was easy to spot those with no mask, since they were in the small minority (such as my wife and I). I actually checked the doors of the store as I was leaving to make sure I had not missed a sign about masks (since my wife and I were in such a minority), but there was no sign.

I think there are still enough people who are scared that we will continue see heavy mask wearing in certain areas for quite a while. My wife and I do have friends who we are going to dinner with next week and they have asked us to wear our masks. The wife is immunocompromised (has a condition similar to my daughter), so I can understand her fear. She has been vaccinated, but due to the medication she is on, it is not clear if she has antibodies and she would be high risk if she became infected. She is being tested later this month to confirm if she has antibodies present (they wanted to wait 30 days after her last injection).

This is why I am not judging people who continue to wear a mask. You do not know someone else's health condition (unless you are a mind-reader) and they have a right to feel safe when in public. There are people like my daughter, my friend, people on medication for cancer and other diseases who have to be extra careful. If wearing a mask allows them to be out in public, I see absolutely no issue with their decision.

Meh, I haven't asked anyone that was still wearing them in stores why they were doing so...but I assume its personal comfort. I mean really, is there a problem with that?

Now....when I was walking on the beach and saw some young adults wearing masks, I did have serious questions as to why they would do that.

Along with me, I guess. I have stage IV cancer with metastasis to both lungs. Yes, I still wear my mask in stores. I do not wear it when I'm out walking for exercise.

Kinda sad that people like yourself and my wife are considered idiots now but just so you know, I don't blame you for wearing yours. I wear mine even when my wife ain't with me because it could possibly help protect her. Even if it helps protect her .00001% more, it's worth it to me to wear it.

Edited to add: Prayers going up for you!

My wife and I wear a mask in stores. She is a two time cancer survivor with no thyroid. Are we the idiots you speak of?
Along with me, I guess. I have stage IV cancer with metastasis to both lungs. Yes, I still wear my mask in stores. I do not wear it when I'm out walking for exercise.
I'm sorry to learn that it is back. We will pray for you and your family. Keep fighting the fight, PackMom!

I'm sure he was not singling out anyone personally. Thoughtless perhaps, but after enduring the insufferable Chapel Hill-type mask Karens for a small eternity, some counterculture backlash might be expected.

No runswithwolves... you never miss a damn chance do you? Wow... Let me explain it to you in English. I'm sure you will have trouble keeping up so I'll keep it simple.

I was not singling out anyone personally. But if they are wearing masks now I'm sure they were wearing them prior to Covid. The flu, as well as many other viruses, are just as if not more contagious that Covid according to God Fauci. Right?

Sorry your wife is going through that as well as anyone else battling cancer. But I have known plenty of people with cancer over my life and they wore masks during and after chemo if they went anywhere. Even for a while after going into remission. This was way before Covid.

To Oldsouljer.... No. I was not singling anyone out. You were smart enough to realize that. He isn't. Just wants to stir the pot.

Runswith, in typical lefty fashion, had to grandstand on the point I was making which is typical of him and how he handles a conversation. We were discussing the P*$$^ hat wearing, scream at the sky nut jobs and yet he felt the need to make it personal and all about why big mean conservatives do not care about people.

He made it political. Again....

That's him though. Again, sorry for his ordeal but like I said anyone that was/is in that situation should have been wearing a mask prior to Covid if they were/are that compromised. So his point was basically just to shout down anyone that doesn't agree with his SOCIALIST point of view and that they are cruel, evil people.

I hope he has a good evening. Hope it all goes well for his wife and anyone else battling cancer.

I was in a Starbucks last week and was the only one not wearing a mask. About what I expected for a Starbucks. Not the case in any big box hardware store I've stopped in in the triangle, with the majority not wearing masks. No small hardware shops I've stopped in have had any employees wearing masks, and haven't seen many customers wearing them either. HT and Food Lion were probably 50/50. CVS had just a couple customers wearing them. The light is starting to come on.

Just wait until they later find out that it wasn't an "accidental" leak, but rather a purposeful "test"... and I'm sure that they have worse viruses than covid developed and ready if they need them...

Can't wait for the next round of "cockamamie right wing conspiracy" posts.

Spin how you want. You are an attention seeking.....that's all. You took what I said out of context in your normal fashion. You are a good little lefty. Take what someone says and spin it to mean what you want it to mean.

I can do the same.

Had I personally insulted you, your wife, hundreds of thousands of others, cancer survivors, or those with cancer you are saying that every member on this board let me slide but you.

You are saying that they are either supporting my insults or they don't care enough to speak out against them.

I think you my friend just insulted the entire board.

Now you can play your little "victim" crybaby game all day long. You aren't going to pin that BS on me. Not one other person thought that I said anything other than what I did but you.

We all know that you have a personal vendetta against me and have since I joined. Like I said before I pray for you and your wife and the thousands of others who have been affected by cancer.

Keep trying.....I'm sure you'll pin something on me sooner or later.

This was what you said.

"I for one enjoy seeing the idiots with masks on."

I ask you if people such as my wife and myself are the idiots you speak of. You proceed to throw around your insults, scream socialist this and that, insult, etc. You then proceed to try to claim I made something political by ask you if people like myself and my wife are the idiots you speak of? In what screws up world in your head is that question political. You do what you always do. Someone ask you a question, you blow off at the ends and rant and rave.

I answered your question already as did Oldsouljah. You failed to acknowledge that because it didn't fit your narrative of continuing your obsession with me.

We were all discussing the nut job P&$$^ hat wearing screaming at the sky folks that are wearing masks for political purposes. You spun it to fit your "victim" narrative. You do that EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I also said if they were afflicted prior to Covid then surely anyone with a compromised immune system would have already been wearing a mask when in public which you promptly disregarded.

And yes...you are playing political games with this. You ignore the substance of the response and focused only on your BS spin that I insulted people with cancer or other immune deficiency diseases.

You also just ignored the fact that YOU were the only one crying about mean ol' BBW insulting cancer victims. So I guess the rest of the board is cold hearted and could care less from your standpoint?

What a damn joke.... I'm done with this and again I'm done with you. Go pound sand.

Very insulting to tell someone to go pound sand. For the next 2 weeks, every post I make will I clude a reference to that so that you can relate to it because you have a habit of doing that yourself. Have a great day.
