Should China have to pay reparations to the world for causing COVID? (srs)

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/...rom-a-lab-leak

"SARS-CoV-2 first emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019 and quickly spread around the world, so far killing nearly 7 million people. It also created turmoil in the global economy as countries closed borders and ordered lockdowns to try and curb the spread of a virus against which there were, initially, no effective vaccines."

Should China have to pay reparations to the rest of the world for causing such global havoc and destruction?

I am more concerned as to why public officials are quiet about this news and a ****ton of people called anyone who suggested this a year ago a racist/CT/crazy/trumper.

Yep. Got called a CT nutjob for saying it originated in a Wuhan lab so many times. I was saying it back in 2020 when Trump was. Not a single person I know now is willing to eat their crow and admit they were wrong. If I even hint at it, they promptly change the topic, perhaps ignoring me entirely to avoid it.

What happened to the bat soup theory?

Why isn’t fauci in jail?


The election was stolen, the FBI is corrupt, and the leftist media spread an insane conspiracy that Trump was a Russian spy.

At the same time “they” were telling us the chYna virus was caused from Charlie eating a bowl of bat soup.

And when we questioned any of it we were told that we are White supremacist Nazis by the same people that told us to take two shots of experimental vaccines and continuous boosters forever and you can see why someone like me is ALL DONE.

Forever. I won’t even waste my precious time and vote in elections. Fuk em. America is but OVAH.

It had to start from somewhere I guess right? I have a hard time looking at this as anything more than an environmental disaster, and it impacted China in a negative way too right?

Look around you in a circle of 15ft. I bet 95% of things in your line of sight was manufactured/produced in China. Now times that by every room and person in the world. The fukers have an absolute stranglehold on us.

I don't understand what you mean. It was funded and lead by both the NIH and Fauci. Why would the Chinese alone pay reparations?

Assuming that it was a "leak"...

They knowingly lied that it was transmissible to humans when they had already banned travel between Wuhan and the rest of Chy-na, while still allowing international travel to the area.

Best case scenario: they were trying to cover up their failures
Most likely: they saw it as an opportunity to hurt everyone else while hoping that it wouldn't spread too much in their country. Even if it did, they care less about their people than countries in the West.

In a fair world, yes they would have massive punitive damages to the rest of the world, basically bankrupting the government and specifically the CCP officials that oversaw it. Assets around the world would be seized, loans to them would be voided as paid in full, and the officials like Xi would be brought up on "crimes against humanity".

But nothing will happen. Hopefully at least more bad mojo/karma will continue to destroy them.

Great evil is generally not an individual, but a process through a collective of individuals who are all exploiting the situation for personal gains.

This is how the deep state works. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said "I wish there was a way to find someone, somewhere, but evil runs through the heart of every person.". This is what he was referring to. No one person is responsible, but rather many, many people.

In many cases, people comply with doing evil to others because they are weak, while others do it for revenge against others, and those at the top do it for money and power.

The U.S govt and Chinese govt are equally responsible for it. US via Fauci funding the gain of function research in the lab that created the virus, and the CCP for covering it up and allowing it to spread. That's why nobody has been officially 'blamed' for it since it's the 2 most powerful governments in the world behind it - it's mutually beneficial for them to keep the origins covered up.

These more or less.

The pandemic was staged from China, but there are plenty of data points showing that the virus was circulating before the hyped Chinese outbreak. IIRC it was found in blood samples from people getting dialysis well before that and in waste water samples in Italy 9 months prior.

If you scroll down to 2017 at this link it appears that preparations were under way even earlier.

https://bailiwicknews.substack.com/p...rorism-program


At this point, though I still believe that there is a real virus which was tampered with in a lab, the exercise really does look like a scamdemic. Most of the deceased were quite old and a large number of people didn't die directly from the virus, but from ventilators, remdesevir, withholding of food [really], and the withholding of antibiotics for pneumonia and of pre-existing medications [HCQ and ivermectin].

If there hadn't been a big staged production with constant media propaganda and medical mismanagement/malpractice I don't think the general public would have even noticed it that much.

The rate of excess mortality is higher now than it was during the worst waves of covid and it barely gets any attention.

Well now they are more concerned with people paying attention to Russian claims that the US was operating bioweapon labs in Ukraine. We did have labs in Ukraine and there is official video of testimony, though of course weaponization was denied.

Also all the extra illness and dying is gaining some awareness so the US where the two mrna injections were approved for EUA would rather deflect any attention away from there actions and direct people towards China and long covid.

Occam's razor; the theory with the least assumptions is most likely the correct one. Too many connections to be coincidence, and all of the other theories assume too much.
