    I thought I'd fact check the fact checker.

    One paragraph really stood out for me:

    "That headline misrepresents the study and reinforces the long-running but unsubstantiated theory that SARS-CoV-2 was created in a lab. As we’ve explained before, the origins of the virus aren’t known for sure, but research to date suggests that it naturally spilled over from animals to humans — either directly from a bat or, more likely, from an intermediary carrier."

    Do you or Eric agree with this paragraph because it's not correct. The overwhelming majority opinion now is that the virus came from a lab. This says to me that this fact checker is biased.
    Moving on from that the outrage is that they're even working on this virus. Have they learned nothing?
    Your fact checker points out that they were trying to find out what part of the virus made omicron less dangerous.
    Since the earliest time of this outbreak neutral scientists have predicted that the virus would become more transmissible but less virulent. It's simple nature. The virus wants to reproduce, if it kills it's host, as happened with the very deadly Cov 1, it dies out quickly.
    There was absolutely no need to do this because what they created was a more deadly virus that was easily transmissible.
    It absolutely is gain of function and if your head is so far up Pfizers arse that you believe all the **** they pay to get the media to say then I fear for you.

    I bet you think the USA is the good guy in the Ukraine war too?

    I feel sorry for you

    I would also like to challenge your dismissal of Dr John Campbell. You obviously don't understand what he is but he has been extremely popular from the start of the pandemic because he explains to us non medical people what it all means. He has always been independent, even though he obviously has an opinion, because he's restrained by YouTube. Content creators are limited as to what they can say because people like your obviously biased fact checker will jump down their throats if they say anything bad about big pharma

    I don't think Dirty watched the video Blono, he just went looking for any negative info to call him a youtube Doctor and conspiracy theorist.

    I'd keep an open mind as the following two sections in the link you provided say "Lab escape possible, but unlikely" followed by "Viral Genome almost certainly not engineered" There is obviously a lot of sensitivity around this subject as I'm sure China wouldn't want to be seen as responsible for a global shut-down. Personally I think if it did come from a lab then it may have escaped by mistake rather than it being a malicious act to release a genetically engineered virus. I don't think we will ever really know, which is a shame because if we 100% knew we would stand a better chance of stopping it happening again.

    I would find it very difficult to believe that they would release a deadly virus on their own people.
    The link I posted was linked by the author of the link Dirty posted. It was from a long time ago and since then many more have accepted the lab leak hypothesis is the most likely. The main reason is that they have never found the intermediate host.

    They're still pissing about with virus' though so this will happen again.

    Strange state of affairs when we get a new PM and it's not worth a mention on here ?

    For what it's worth my choice would have been Rishi back in No'11 with JH in No'10 so not the worst outcome really.

    I get what you're saying regarding the "pissing around" but as you would anticipate I see it a little differently, more along the lines of "being forewarned is being forearmed"

    Just like the research at the Wuhan lab. What could possibly go wrong?
    Oh right. It already has and millions of people died.

    That's why it is really important that we find out what really happened. I assure you there are lab experiments involving viruses and bacteria that would really make covid-19 seem like a common cold.

    Can you show me how this curtseying works, I'm sure you have vast experience. Personally I don't know what it is. As for trousers only Poms wear those, we wear board shorts

    It's easy.

    You cross your legs and then bend down like you're going to take a dump, then half way down you remember this won't look good in public so you stand up again.

    Happy to help as always.

    Board shorts for a farmer ?

    What ya doing surfing sheep <laugh>
