    Remember how ok conservatives were about the parts of covid you could be racist about? Yeah they’re more or less going to do that but just those parts and probably unrelated to a virus.

        A lot of people blamed Asians conceptually for Covid, everything from saying it came from eating dogs to the idea of the Chinese government making it on purpose.

            Think about it for a second, even if it was a man made virus how would you go about proving that without somebody saying “yeah it was me and this is how I did it in immaculate detail”, and even if somebody did that there’s a decent chance they’re lying for the fame.

              I read that there would be genetic markers of a manmade virus, and that this virus’s RNA matched a natural evolution.

              Every action leaves some sort of trace.

      And the parts that inconvenienced them.

      If NY was locked down with refrigerator trailers full of the dead, that’s fine. If Dallas has the same, fuckit, we’re going to Applebee’s.

      There’s a serious level of chauvinism to their ideological club.
