FFS, what's with your contemptuous attitude? If you go back and look at my initial posts on this there's nothing I posted about the virus being bioengineered - the info I posted is there's growing suspicion that the bat virus being researched at the Wuhan lab was accidentally released. And the Chinese government isn't cooperating with the U.S. in this investigation and you know it!
Except they have been cooperating with the World Health Organization ever since the outbreak was detected. Read page 31 of this document, and don't tell me bs like they should actually cooperate with the government of a foreign country rather than the organization that is actually in charge of outbreaks like this.
January 3rd, 2020, information on COVID-19 cases has been reported to WHO on a daily basis.
January 7th, full genome sequences of the new virus were shared with WHO and the international community immediately after the pathogen was identified.
January 10th, an expert group involving Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwanese technical experts and a World Health Organization team was invited to visit Wuhan.

The two citizen-journalists missing:
They were detained for telling the truth about the coronavirus.

This is a joke right? You're quoting the National review, which has zero credibility and one of the most biased anti-China outlets that has been proven time and time again to twist facts and outright lie. If you actually did some research you'd know that the "journalist" in question Li Zehua was arrested for breaking a quarantine law forbidding entry in and out of Wuhan since it was in lockdown. Actually, at the time he had quit his job so had ZERO journalist credentials, so breaking into quarantine was breaking the law pure and simple. To top it off, he then snuck to a P4 biolab and took pictures and tried to gain entry, and was later detained and put under house arrest on Feb 28th. Here's the source from Radio Free Asia which is actually quite critical of China.
因報道武漢疫情現場而失聯的前央視主持李澤華疑獲有限自由，消息稱：李澤華已回到賓館，並向同學報平安，卻無法回覆外界詢問。網民則「洗板」轉發其獲獎朗誦視頻以表聲援。

But I guess the national review thought making an article about "man breaks the law, is arrested" wouldn't be as sensationalistic, so they made up the story about how the evil CCP is "disappearing innocent journalists". Just Imagine if Maryland was put under strict quarantine laws prohibiting entry, and a civilian who had already lost his journalistic credentials not only snuck in, but went to Fort Detrick biolab to try gain entry and take pictures. Would he not be arrested?
You want proof the National review is a propaganda outlet that makes up stories based on pure lies and misinformation? Take a look at this timeline under the date December 6, where they state: "According to a study in The Lancet, the symptom onset date of the first patient was Dec 1, 2019... 5 days after the illness onset, his wife, a 53-year old woman who had no known history of exposure to the market, also presented with pneumonia and was hospitalized in the isolation ward." In other words, as early as the second week of December, Wuhan doctors were finding cases that indicated the virus was spreading from one human to another."
And the irreparable damage they have caused around the globe.

Great, they've nailed it right? They must've known by Dec 6th that human-to-human transmission was possible right? But look at where they conveniently put the ... after Dec 1, 2019. If you actually took time to read the Lancet article in question, the sentences the National review for some reason omitted on purpose by using the ... , which says: "The first fatal case, who had continuous exposure to the market, was admitted to hospital because of a 7-day history of fever, cough, and dyspnoea. 5 days after illness onset, HIS wife, a 53-year old woman etc.". So the 53-year old woman who got sick was actually not the wife of the patient on December 1, but rather the wife of the first fatal case. And when was the first fatal case? Dec 1st 2019? No it was January 10th 2020, so what the National review calling the first case Dec 6th was actually more than a month later. This is pure blatant lie and disinformation.
Like I said before, my initial posts had nothing to do with a bioengineered pathogen. However, last night on a national talk radio program, Dr. Peter Breggin, said that this virus is somewhat similar to a SARS-Coronavirus that was "laboratory-manipulated" in a joint research project between U.S. & Chinese (Wuhan lab) scientists back in 2015. He references a paper on it that was published in Nature Medicine:

Now if you're going to go ballistic on Dr. Breggin's research & theory, then why don't you contact and chastise him? I watched his video, read the info on his website and read the study, and found it thought-provoking & intriguing. Now, if you want to act like a
discussion forum-tough guy and chastise me for reading & considering opposing views on the origin of the virus, lack of cooperation & misinformation by the Chinese government, etc. -- then fine; but don't expect me to take your imperious attitude lying down!
Funny you mention the 2015 Nature Medicine paper, because in the methods footnote it says: ”Cells were originally obtained from Fort Detrick“, yes the same Fort Detrick that was closed in August 2019 for failure to contain escape of pathogens and missing vials of unknown origins. So are you saying the USA was responsible then?
And your remark about Sen. Cotton is total BS - that's Pelosi-type crap and you know it!
Do some research before you open your mouth again, if you continue to spread propaganda and misinformation then don't blame me for countering all your bs. Tom Cotton is probably one of the most hawkish neocons in the government, who makes Mike "we lied, we cheated, we stole" Pompeo look like Mother Teresa in comparison. The same person who wanted to arm numerous Asian countries with nuclear weapons to counter NK/China, accepted nothing short of warring and bombing Iran, urging regime change operations throughout the Middle east, Asia, and Eastern Europe, etc. And you want to defend Cotton and trust his opinion on matters regarding China?
