  1. Blaming China for Covid 19 , is not reasonable thinking after the vaccine gave it to most the world.
    Mandatory mandates.
    The leak , and to reasonable thinking.
    Blaming China the intelligence of a delusional mind , and that is a Covid , symptom , are is it a Vaccine symptom.
    Covid be in the USA years before the lab in China leaked Covid and the Crisis to a world effort is inevitable.
    You made me sick , to Blaming public affairs could hold the authority responsible for the liability to shut down public education for good.
    How many kids bring a illnesses home from school , and public domain to be shared and do we blame the Federal government for not protecting the freedom of people to be free from those that spread the news around like wild fire.
    The FBI should look into it so they can have intelligent feedback to advise the President and then we can put the blame on every American that has reasonable thinking to think , a crisis is out of control Blaming everybody but themselves.
    Peace be still.
    Blaming China they spread a virus could have devastating effects that the next virus could come from , the USA , by bringing it home from a foreign land to the affairs of such executive branches and then , by the system that moves to ensemble the most educated people in the world to get together and , that is a National security threat.
    To fault find and back bight is the biggest form of entertainment that children get put in time out for , and it dont phase the adults at all to , the same typ of behavior with the titles of how one titles to job description is got more authority to sway the minds of adults to power the majority like , a hundred wrongs going to make it right to do the same.
    The grownups need put in time out .
    They need to lower the voting age to 8 years old , so the children can have a majority say that could solve the Covid conflict , occupation , war faster than the adults with more reasonable thinking to , love one another.
    If we decoupled economic ties with thoes that make us sick we would put ourselves out of business practice to , the healthy only and the healthy need no surgeon.
    Only the sick would need of a emergency care and to days of from work to attend to the sick so the insurance plan is not needed at all , because the only one making me sick is the sick and to the insurance plan could hold them reliable for paying for everyone that got sick because they dont understand the healthy dont have such problems.
    We need to understand history and one thing is for sure your going to be a subject of your own doing and to blame and back bight is a two way free for all that multiples faster than any virus illnesses iv every seen.
    Its Political nonsense , and is a National security threat .
    If we fail the children to establish great relationships with Nations we fail our own to rule the same to be found guilty by the innocent , that have never been sick tell they come to this world.

  2. Hey…whoa…the energy dept did not say with low confidence…people please read the report before you buy into what these liars are saying. The fbi also stated in a congressional hearing they are 95% sure it came from a lab in Wuhan that was researching gain of function on coronavirus. Y'all are propagandist

  3. Yeah we "conspiracy theorist" knew this….Chinease virus.

  4. Certainly this virus was on purpose, since China is the most populous country, even a lay person understands, if you wanted to reduce the population, you would certainly start with the weakest

  5. Together the Historical Friends Nepal and Khalastan is
    An Indomitable Mighty Trustworthy Force and
    Can be a Game Changer for the Western World 🌎

  6. Your bosses knew exactly where it came from and have been busy covering it up. It's a lab leak… Fauci is guilty as sin. Do you go to sleep at night regretting your employment choice as a Muppet.

  7. 🥱🥱🥱 when the fbi catch up 3 yrs later

  8. People with a brain have been saying this for years! Now ask yourself this question, why is the FBI saying this? Unbelievable! Wake up people!! They are trying to justice a conflict with China. One that will benefit NOONE!

  9. The angrier CCP government is at the allegations against it, the more possible they are true.

  10. They're mad at China for taking Russia's side over the Ukraine war …now they're talking about Ukraine joining NATO … their all warmongers.

  11. "Anything leftists label a Conspiracy theory, ends up unfolding as truth".

  12. Everyone knew this since the beginning… but didn't have the balls to say so.. why? 7 million dead.. 1 million Americans dead because your bs!

  13. So much for this being a right wing conspiracy theory. Now on to the Hunter Biden Russian hoax laptop.🙈🙉🙊

  14. In other news water is wet

  15. Big Media like CNN, NBC, MSNBC simply ignored the experts talking about it. Biden Whitehouse was focused on censoring it. This is a great conversation around the evidence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEh5JyZC218

  16. Why did the Whitehouse work so hard to cover up the Wuhan lab leak, the most likely place of origination? Are they being paid/bribed by China officials?

  17. Seems like the natural vs lab origin narrative for CV19 is a false choice with little evidence on either side.
    I seem to recall being warned for decades that overuse of antibiotic and antiretroviral therapies would eventually cause resistant strains.

  18. FBI goes forward, here it says 'FBI told the truth, corona came out of China' so let's say my last conversation was with the Pentagon before the earthquake.We were examining your weapons At that time, I can say that America caused the earthquake in Turkey. As I said before, the closest to the root is China. First they had to conform to certain things and they learned, that's all. I hope it's clear this time. And if you don't trust me write now, let's not waste each other's time, bye

  19. Trump was right all along NBC, MSNBC and CNN should apologise for how they called Trump a racist.

  20. Finally I was waiting for some real news, it's about time the Law Enforcement Chief came through

  21. Speculation (yawn)* again, *(yawn) from the news media.

  22. If you lie about one thing, Christopher Ray, and you lie about most things, then you're most likely lying about all things. You're all just trying to steer the war ship to China now and so you're trying to manufacture consent to wage war with China by lying to the American people. All of you should be removed from your seats and prosecuted and that includes media executives who allow dissemination of the lies that you people love to spread.

  23. We may never know??? Sorry. We already know.

  24. An NBC you were part of the disgusting propaganda

  25. everythings made in china

  26. You all should be in jail. Acting like they didn't outright believe it wasn't chinese because trump said. It's disgusting that it's politics before reality. Everyone knew this from a simple paper trail and were called conspiracy theorists to discredit them and silenced socially and often fired or licenses revoked. Shame be upon your entire company, and may it forever know unrelenting hardships. This is beyond a mistake. It's criminal.

  27. Le Covid a était fabriqué dans les laboratoires ukrainiens qui appartiennent au américain et propager en Chine le complot on a déjà vu ça dans des films américains lol lol c est pour ça qu il donne des armes et des millards à zelenki maintenant tout le mon le sait

  28. The FBI maybe talking about it now, but the people how known for three years that came from a lab.

  29. Who doesn't know this from years ago….?

  30. They need to tell the public COVD was a cover up to distract the world from the fact the CIA killed Jeffery Epstein and Jean Luk brunell during this time. Not to mention the hit on the federal judges family that was looking into the finances. All of this was on the news.

  31. What there not telling you is the United States, our own government funded this!!!!!!!!!

  32. There's a house on fire (that's covid). There's a kid standing next to the fire (that's wuhan). The kid is holding matches and a can of gas (that is the laboratory where they were manipulating the virus). Reasonable people can figure out the kidbstarted the fire. Then you idiots say no it was probably a spark that brushed against the house that caused the fire. Not the kid watching the fire with matches and a gas can.

  33. For some time now huh?

  34. Why don't you investigate who created HIV- AIDS Virus. This is an American campaign against China. After the ridiculous Chinese balloons saga comes another lie about China

  35. Leave China alone. The West is more criminal than China. The West has thousands of labs where deadly viruses are being nursed. When Bill gates talks about next pandemics that has got nothing to do with China. Why don't you investigate the crimes by Israél on Palestinians or the crimes by Americans in Vietnam, Irak, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Salvador, Somalia, Yemen or America's use of Atomic bombs in Japan if you're really concerned about people's deaths? 15 millions have died in the Democratic republic of Congo since 1997 to date in America's financed and funded rebellions to get coltan, cobalt and minerals. You never talk about it but you're happy to accuse China, the West's eternal enemy of covid origin. Fine, it's China. What next? Has China ever enslaved, invaded, colonized, killed and destroyed other nations worldwide as America,France and the UK did? The answer is NO.

  36. 2:03 "They are glowing in the dark here"

  37. Believe you're to come from me you're Angel philadelphia

  38. So, maybe we should be listening to the "conspiracy theorists " they are like 80-0 at this point.

  39. Yes it was made in a lab in China but it was an American corporation that develop and spread it, no regulations in China they were free to do whatever they wanted, I bet you dumb dumb Americans can't guess what corporation that was not pharmaceutical but a manufacturer of a device

  40. If you still think it was a wet market I'll assume your iq to be around room temperature 🌡

  41. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
