What’s weird about the mental gymnastics is that a respiratory virus pandemic is the risk factor of the century. It was a probability of 100% that this would end up happening, the only question was when and where.
But people will take the numerous calls to caution that were issued in the decades prior, and use them as proofs that something shady went on. What can you do …
three months before covid spread to the US the Trump administration closed down the CDC attache in China that would have been the first response to an outbreak. three months.
covid was first identified as a mysterious flu about 30 days after the US offices were closed.
Yeah, they actually do. The Spanish Flu is a pretty great example. It just happens that the main form of transoceanic travel took long enough that people were easier to quarantine. And it still caused as much death as it did. Pandemics like Covid haven’t happened before but they’ve been predicted for decades. When you can cross the entire earth in less than 48hrs, all it’s going to take is the right virus to show up. Covid was particularly good at transmitting in that way, because it has a long asymptomatic infectious period both before and after the symptomatic phase. Especially if you compare it to the og SARS-CoV-1, which didn’t spread as readily across oceans and borders.
The trump administration closed a million things. They’ve closed a million more in the past 6 months. Did FEMA cutbacks CAUSE the flooding in Texas? No. Did it make it worse? Sure.
by that logic Trump won the election fair and square. there’s no evidence he cheated or colluded with Russian intelligence.
also Epstein killed himself because coincidences aren’t evidence. also trump wasn’t friends with Epstein because it was sheer coincidence he was at all the same parties, which as you state doesn’t count as evidence.
while we’re at it, god exists, the tooth fairy is real, and unicorns roam the earth. just because the evidence they don’t exist doesn’t exist doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Or…. It was just a pandemic and not planned

pandemics don’t just happen like covid happened.

can any country in the world make it rain? no
can any country in the world release a deadly pathogen to cause chaos and confusion? yes.
my point isn’t the actual closure, it’s the visibility of risk mitigation.
what’s your point?
If you throw 2 million darts, eventually you get one bullseye. A coincidence is not evidence
