It's very easy to get caught up in the mele surrounding Covid. It's politicized, has been used as a lever (is being used as a lever, politically and socially and probably many other ways too). On all sides there is culpability, clearly, America outsourced looking at Bat viruses to China. China took the money and ultimately did a shoddy job. 4.5million people have died and that represents a lot of eggs on a lot of faces. No one wants the bill for that in the courts, and no one wants to put the CCP over its knee and spank it with some artillery, in spite of its overt aggression elsewhere.
Like the virus itself, containment of hostilities is the current game. So now we find ourselves in the position that it's actually not in any official person's interest to get to the bottom of things and apportion blame. I don't want to say `we are where we are', but I'd be an idiot not to say it. All we the people can do is let those in control know that the system they use to hold secrets resembles a colander and the truth will out. That truth may be denied by the arbiters of powers, however, if you apply Occam's razor, all the evidence suggests The Wuhan Institute of Virology, made a mistake, the local CCP then went on to compound and confound that mistake (probably for fear of the party rather than the response of the wider world, paradoxically).
Conveniently now, attention has been dragged kicking and screaming away from Covid to Afghanistan, where I rather suspect the next level of proxy war will be battled out online. Covid will fall off a cliff unless an actual `virulent' variant emerges. And thanks to the mainstream media's perverse handling of the CCP's misinformation as truth because `Orange Man Bad'. They too have so much egg on their face, it's far better to sweep `cause' under the blanket, and find a new crisis to see us through to Autumn, in the hope that vaccination ends Covids dominance of the headlines.
