In no part of that did anyone claim the virus was manufactured in the lab other than Pompeo -- who changed his tune when called out. Reference my post.





RADDATZ: Do you believe it was man-made or genetically modified?

POMPEO: Look, the best experts so far seem to think it was man-made. I have no reason to disbelieve that at this point.

RADDATZ: Your — your Office of the DNI says the consensus, the scientific consensus was not man-made or genetically modified.

POMPEO: That’s right. I agree with that. Yeah. I’ve seen their analysis. I’ve seen the summary that you saw that was released publicly. I have no reason to doubt that that is accurate…

(CROSSTALK)

RADDATZ: OK, so just to be clear, you do not think it was man-made or genetically modified?

POMPEO: I’ve seen what the intelligence community has said. I have no reason to believe that they’ve got it wrong.

From the article you posted,
We want you, the science and health professionals of China, to know that we stand with you

It literally states, "the science and health professionals of China". So yeah, I would agree with that statement for everyone the world over regardless of their government. Good science thankfully doesn't generally subscribe to nationalism.

A single sentence? It's the title, and topic of the article..... I highly suggest you stick to flying airplanes.

You attempt to fabricate an argument, fail that point, can't understand the article refutes conspiracy theories, then want to take your ball and go home? Fair enough.

The article doesn't refute anything, and is a blatant propaganda lie, your political bias has blinded you to that fact.

This would be like me saying oil doesn't produce climate change, and then citing an article from Exxon-Mobile, that doesn't contain any data.

The case that ABC is a better source than a right wing nutter publication? Or even a left wing nutter publication? Indeed, nice job!
