What always upsets me about these kinds of scenarios is the utter disrespect for science. And I know you are one who greatly appreciates science, which I believe is reflected in the fact that you are remaining open-minded. It often seems that open-mindedness has somehow become a hippy-thing, or a conspiracy theory-thing. But I was taught that the first rule of scientific inquiry is: seek to disprove your own theory!

If you succeed, then you move on to something else. But if you cannot disprove yourself, then give your theory to your colleagues, and ask them to disprove it. If they cannot, then you have a sound hypothesis with which to proceed with experimentation and research.

What I see today is, "I have the facts, and I will fight you tooth and nail if you try to disprove me!" Look at Fauci saying that if you disagree with him, you are disagreeing with science. WHAT HUBRIS! It's abhorrent arrogance, and has nothing to do with science.

The scientists here in Italy have also said that they began to see the symptoms of this coronavirus as early as September 2019. So I am open to the idea that it may not have come directly from the Wuhan lab. So I move to the next theory, which is that it is nevertheless lab-originated because the gene sequence is not natural, and this explains your Steem Link concerning the deleted files from Wuhan. Even French virologist and Nobel Prize Winner for Medicine, Luc Montagnier, said COVID-19 was man-made, and now they want to "cancel" him. These people cannot say they respect science, but rather politics and personal agendas.

Not only are tax-payers funding these monstrosities, but now tax-payers are funding the experimental therapies that they are calling vaccines to deal with these monstrosities. As human beings, we have the right to be outraged, but we also have the responsibility to remain open-minded.
