Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (Jason Woliner)

[[ETM]]

Not manufacturing, research. There are so many of these strains that are potentially dangerous, I'm betting there are more of these places where they try to stay ahead of pandemics by collecting samples and working on them to classify and determine the danger. How it happened that this was released might never be known, but I'm pretty sure nobody MADE it.

Sorry to derail the Borat thread btw. I realize this should go in the covid-19 thread we have. I only brought it up because even if you think Rudy G is a nut, we should be able to demand answers and accountability from our government. Joe Biden and his admin should not be off the hook here either.

...even if you think Rudy G is a nut....

I don't think there is much to debate about this anymore, is there? Just in general, I mean.

It's simply astonshing to me that all it takes is one disgruntled employee (or hell even one gruntled, lazy employee who doesn't use proper protocol in the lab) to kill millions of people and shut down the world economy. Often effecting small and medium sized businesses the most (Amazon and Big Tech actually made huge profits in the last nine months).

I've read that it's impossible that this virus was manufactured because tell-tale signs would be found. However, I think that a naturally occurring virus could be found, studied, allowed to flourish and then released. I've also seen this question posed, "who has the most to gain from a pandemic?" and some have pointed out that Russia is in the worst shape of the major powers. I can understand the idea that a pandemic brings down the richest nations and levels the playing field. Immediately dismissing the cause as possibly linked to political reasons is very disconcerting though I'm not saying that it was. I just say we need to keep an open mind.
