The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dr. Fauci claimed that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any data.

"It just sort of appeared."

Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab-leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.

This comes nearly four years after prompting the publication of the now infamous “Proximal Origin” paper that attempted to vilify and disprove the lab-leak hypothesis.

YHeh:
An international team of researchers led by Crits-Christoph found the overlapping genetic material of animals and the virus at the same spots in the market, a connection the Chinese researchers soon confirmed with their own analysis in Nature.

And the Chinese have been on the up and up this entire time with COVID, amirite?
