If you're too lazy to summarize the point, I'm too lazy to click on a Twitter link.

WSJ has gone over their skis again.

one thing that proved jr daddy's stupidity - was eliminating the pandemic response dpt.
started by bush because he knew it was only a matter of time before a pandemic showed up.
obama knew the same.
but not your idiot.

Why is an energy agency commenting on a pandemic?

 

[ll74]

So the link is to a Tweet with a screenshot someone provided? Why don't they just provide the source?

I think the wsj requires paid thing.
and I don't think rampy would shell out for that.

He just doesn't want anyone reading the article, because it gets into subtle details that aren't as nefarious.

Propaganda 101- dont let your readers see the data directly.

Thank you.

The conclusion is due to new intelligence, but the department made it's judgement with "low confidence"

And that's why they don't give you a source. This is the equivalent of "we think, but have little evidence"

The report, however, reaffirmed an existing consensus between agencies that the virus was not the result of Chinese biological weapons program

(Times of India makes it a pain to copy/paste sections of text so I filled in the blanks with their text)

Natural transmission.

So it wasn't created in a lab.

Got it.

There has always been a scientific community investigation about how COVID transferred. Was it via animal to human, or was it through Lab infection?
Even this statement comes with the disclaimer of "low confidence".

As of yet, there is no firm answer. All that is truly known, and this conclusion agrees, is that COVID was not man made or genetically tampered with.

But let BB have his jerk off moment....he really needs one!!

The shape of the virus is more like natural transmission viruses.

I love that this seems like a contradiction to you.

The difference as I see it is that consensus judgement opinion was modifed after additional facts became available to support their conclusion.

Compare that to the former president's insistence of an outcome based on what he imagined it to be. He had a narrative he wanted to push, facts be damned.

I like to imagine how differently the Trump years would have been if he had invited Colin Kaepernick to have a conversation rather than calling him a son of a bitch and railing against the NFL for making a silent protest.

Huh, I thought it was when he called it the Kung Flu.

Hell can you imagine how much more respected he'd be if he'd been honest about the Corona virus and actively worked to limit the spread of it, rather than listen to Jared Kushner telling him that the spread of the virus would likely affect the coastal "blue" states before the election?

The funniest shit about the "lab leak" energy department release is that the right wing believes that means that China created the virus, because they're fucking idiots.

Whenever the New York Post says that something is censored, they’re lying. It’s not censored, it’s right there in print.

^^^ Speaking of Murdoch, can’t wait for the new season of Succession, of which The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty documentary shows how his life was pretty much a shockingly accurate template for the series. Fascinating.
