@ExpertisePoker @TheTexasPaladin Well no, i read it with an open mind and had some reservations about the timing claims, but at the same in light of the spike in care home deaths as well as the well known UK custom of murdering the elderly with opiods (Gosport case)

theguardian.com/society/2019/a…,
@ExpertisePoker @TheTexasPaladin Then considering the furore in France about the use of Rivotril in care homes, I felt it would be wrong to dismiss the claims
Family members of French nursing home residents to seek accountability for the deaths of 10s of 1000s of loved ones from Covid-19

@ExpertisePoker @TheTexasPaladin The French certainly took this issue seriously, see Alliance VITA:

So not sure why you are dismissing it out of hand

1. Prove me Wrong?
Pangolin GX Coronavirus was isolated in 2017 & sent to BSL2 Labs in 2018 according to Yi Gang Tong, so likely sent to WIV BSL2 where GX Cov injected into Pangolins treated with antivirals & vaccines, also used RaTG13 in bats at similar time and locations.
2. "Starting in at least 2016 WIV researchers conducted experiments involving RaTG13, the bat coronavirus identified by the WIV as its closest sample to SARS-CoV-2 (96.2% similar). The WIV has since studied animals including mice, bats, and pangolins"

3. "Some of those things include the fact that we have very strong reason to believe that the Chinese military was doing secret classified animal experiments in that same laboratory, going all the way back to at least 2017"
