Re: Proof That SARS-CoV-2 Was Produced in a Lab
It's all irrelevant now.
​
Could a killer virus be created in a lab and then released in public intentionally or accidentally?
​
You're right it is irrelevant now.
​
I find the idea that a virus would be intentionally released silly though. I can imagine a single nutjob infecting themselves or others, but why would a government release it on their own people? What political or national agenda would be served by starting a global pandemic with completely unpredictable consequences?
​
The Chinese government's behavior with regards to cooperating with the rest of the globe on learning everything we can about Covid made them look like assholes, but it doesn't make any sense that they would infect themselves on purpose.

Re: Relative Blocked
Sometime that's all you can do. I'm curious, was your relative only targeting you with the phone calls and texts or was it all his relatives?
