The NIH funded super virus studies all over the world for over a decade, including the Wuhan lab.I get it. They create these viruses to be better prepared for future viruses that may develop. They are not doing anything nefarious on purpose, at least on this specific front. Covid isn’t a good bio-weapon to begin with. Less than 1% death rate. I’m not saying the CIA or pentagon isn’t using these studies for their own weapon development, but I don’t think the NIH is doing it directly. If there is one thing I learned when working to get Obama elected, is that these politicians put layers of people and organizations between anything that can be considered nefarious. They’ve learned to compartmentalize everything so that they are never responsible for anything personally, but they can still take credit if things go right. It was a very common discussion with managers and protest organizers. Even the non-profits and election engines are compartmental. There were 6 non-profits in Denver in 2008 doing the exact same thing we were doing, and all 6 were funded by the same non-profit. Non-profit companies funding other non-profit companies. The money switches hands multiple times before ever getting to where it’s used. Have fun following that rabbit hole.
