China COVID Cover-Up

Obviously it is possible this was a leak from a lab working on bats and coronaviruses. Zero Hedge was banned from Twitter for speculating about this under the flimsy excuse of “doxxing” a publicly-listed contact for the head of the Wuhan lab conducting coronavirus work, but they were right to suggest the possibility. After all, there have been several examples of governments covering up incidents like this, and we usually only find out years later when the evidence eventually piles up or a brave

No, it's worse. The Chinese government has apparently actively been censoring scientists and anyone else who points out the really obvious, glaring evidence that this virus originated in China, probably Wuhan. Their diplomats have been spreading the theory on social media too. This is basically a government-sanctioned conspiracy theory spread using the full power of a totalitarian state-run censorship apparatus.

Then The WHO should be saying "we can't eliminate the possibility of a lab origin because China is engaging in a massive coverup and won't let us investigate anything" rather than "Laboratory contamination can be excluded because...".

There's little evidence to support the cover-up chargehttps://old.reddit.com/r/geopolitics/comments/fnvvh8/some_th...

There's a decent amount of evidence to suggest it did, and China has already shown themselves unreliable (putting it mildly) regarding information about the virus. I don't think you have a leg to stand on if you propose to speak with such certainty.

China didn't just drop the ball, they literally went after anyone who tried to tell them there was a ball.https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/wuhan-doctors-sa...

This is a follow-up comment that addresses the 6 points I mentioned in my other comment.---Re point 1: you keep saying they "covered it up" but based on what evidence? The first doctor who discovered it, Zhang Jixian, diagnosed an unknown pneunomia on Dec 27. By Dec 31 the case had been escalated to WHO. Where is the room for "covering up"?Yes Wuhan officials probably were incentivized to not raise a big fuss until more about the virus is known. They probably erred t

This "article" clearly has a pro-China agenda and is not at al consistent with the facts about China's withholding information, silencing scientists, manipulating the WHO, destroying early virus samples, hiding research papers, misleading the public, and making "errors" in their statistics.China...Engaged in propaganda campaign: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/28/world/asia/china-coronavirus-response-propaganda.html
