The Chinese virus

[planosteve]

Even 45 is giving it up.

the president himself has stopped calling it the "Chinese virus" because, he says, "Everyone knows it came out of China, but I decided we shouldn't make any more of a big deal out of it."

There's a pretty big hole in your "Chinese virus" theory.

By all means, let's accept Communist Chinese propaganda at face value.

Yes, China is a "Communist" country. That doesn't mean the people are idealogical communists. In 1978 and 1979, the Chinese government began a series of reforms that opened the economy and they have led to economic growth at an astounding rate since that time. It is also the largest manufacturing economy in the world maintaing an average growth rate of 10 percent over the last 30 years, making it the world's fastest-growing economy in the world. That should tell you something.

You're beginning to sound a lot like Bernie Sanders with your defense of Communist regimes.

Yeah, they're real swell guys there. They no longer slaughter tens of millions of people; they're down to thousands.

China doesn't slaughter people. It executes people. So do we? How many? Nobody knows. They don't release figures. A lot of countries don't.

It was interesting that Lucey also noted that MERS was originally believed to have come from a patient in Saudi Arabia in June of 2012, but later and more thorough studies traced it back to an earlier hospital outbreak of unexplained pneumonia in Jordan in April of that year. Lucey said that from stored samples from people who died in Jordan, medical authorities confirmed they had been infected with the MERS virus. (10)
This would provide impetus for caution among the public in accepting the “official standard narrative” that the Western media are always so eager to provide – as they did with SARS, MERS, and ZIKA, all of which ‘official narratives’ were later proven to have been wrong.
In this case, the Western media flooded their pages for months about the COVID-19 virus originating in the Wuhan seafood market, caused by people eating bats and wild animals. All of this has been proven wrong.
Not only did the virus not originate at the seafood market, it did not originate in Wuhan at all, and it has now been proven that it did not originate in China but was brought to China from another country. Part of the proof of this assertion is that the genome varieties of the virus in Iran and Italy have been sequenced and declared to have no part of the variety that infected China and must, by definition, have originated elsewhere.
It would seem the only possibility for origination would be the US because only that country has the “tree trunk” of all the varieties. And it may therefore be true that the original source of the COVID-19 virus was the US military bio-warfare lab at Fort Detrick. This would not be a surprise, given that the CDC completely shut down Fort Detrick, but also because, as I related in an earlier article, between 2005 and 2012 the US had experienced 1,059 events where pathogens had been either stolen or escaped from American bio-labs during the prior ten years.

Larry Romanoff is an apologist for Communist China. In another article, he wrote:

Few Westerners have bothered to learn even the simple basics about the form of China’s government, preferring instead to parrot foolish nonsense about China being a dictatorship or, as one writer recently stated, “a deeply tyrannical regime”. It is of course no such thing, the level of Western ideological blindness and willful ignorance being simply appalling.

The whole article is about how the ChiCom system of government is superior to ours.

China poured more cement in 3 years than the US did in the 20th Century.
Without China a lot of stores like Wal-Mart, Target, Cosco, etc would probably not even exist. If they did they would be much smaller and half empty.

Yeah, suck on it, TDS-sufferers. MAGA caps are made in the USA:

Narrator: The Trump campaign's officially licensed "Make America Great Again," or "MAGA" hats, are made here, at the Cali-Fame headwear factory in Carson, California, just outside of Los Angeles.

Brian Kennedy: The fabric, the cord, the plastic strap, the fabric underneath, the sweatband, the whole hat is made here in America.

Narrator: The company doesn't only make MAGA hats. It specializes in all kinds of headwear, which it manufactures and customizes. But the company has worked with Trump for years. Before the campaign, Cali-Fame made hats for Trump's golf courses.

I think that if he could find someone to manufacture them here, he would.

MAGA hats are made in California by Latinos.

MAGA hats are made in California. Period.

About 100 employees work in the factory, and, according to an interview Brian Kennedy did with the Los Angeles Times in 2015, about 80% of the workforce is Latino.

So what? The factory is in Carson, where 40% of the population is Hispanic. What's your point?
