  1. Because it’s not just crazyman Trump saying it now.

  2. It’s racist to attack random Asian people on the street who had nothing to do with it, it’s not racist to call out the Communist Chinese government for trying to cover this up and hope it doesn’t cause a worldwide pandemic… and then try to hide that they were trying to hide it.

  3.  @attsealevel  China also blocked Taiwan from getting a German vaccine directly, and instead foisting their “Fonsen” version on the country, all because they “dared” to say in the contract with the German company that they were a country. It’s been how many decades since Taiwan broke away? Just let them go, and other nations need to recognize their sovereignty already! Heck for a long while Taiwan had the UN seat for “China” before the unrecognized PRC got someone to sign off on kicking Taiwan out.

  4.  @q851230  We should also be talking about the sovereignty of Taiwan, USA needs to recognize them as a country, that would really make the Commies in Beijing mad.

  5.  @kennethma8854  learn your history, chairman Mao didn't invade Taiwan because the US Navy parked in the strait to stop him. We saved Taiwan before, we will do it again with our allies help.

  6.  @priyajesus9228  and it's going to be like that scene from "Annie Hall" when he meets certain "Christians" that twist his words for their own ends, "I heard what you were saying! You know nothing of my work! Your interpretation of my teachings is wrong. How you got to preach to anyone is totally amazing!"

  7. Vaping disease? I agree vaping is bad (inhaling anything other than fresh air is bad for your lungs), and vape “smoke” is full of microscopic bubbles that go in your lungs, and don’t go out… enough bubbles and you just gave yourself pneumonia. The Flu vaccine is always a guess at which flu variants might be going around in a given season, and lately the guesses have been terrible, so the vaccine has not been effective enough. But COVID is not the Flu.

  8. Chinese government diversionary tactic. We have no problem with the people of China, but the government really needs to work on transparency.

  9.  @kennethma8854  "contained it well"? It' ran amok all over the planet...it didn't stay in China. I guess it hasn't escaped into space yet, so it's "contained".

  10.  @jdog8852  George W. Bush was a Democrat? 😂 Are you high or something dude? Obama did try to inspire democracy in the Middle East, but he never invaded any of them.

  11.  @moodini99  The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) isn't communist? Look, an oppressive one party government can call itself whatever it wants to, but at the end of the day, they are still an oppressive one party government.

  12.  @jdog8852  his father was US liason to China, before that he head of the Republican National Commitee under Nixon (whom he urged to resign after the Watergate tapes leaked). Before that he was US Ambassador to the UN and opposed the "China question" in 1971 which saw the ROC get booted from the UN in favor of the PRC. Don't try to rewrite history, it makes you look foolish.

  13. More like retaliate, and also do more human rights abuses against it’s own people. Never agree to a one party government folks!

  14. Calling out an oppressive government guilty of human rights abuses is never racist.

  15.  @kennethma8854  a conspiracy theory to fight a conspiracy theory. Just mudding the waters so the truth is harder to find.

  16.  @rolanddabeats8087  he's a fraud, and THE LAW is catching up to him. 2024 in prison!

  17. @Amatya Ucran  if China admitted, "we had an oopsy" when this first started we wouldn’t have blamed them as much as we are now when they keep trying to cover it up, or foolishly keep saying it was Fort Dietrich as a diversion.

  18. Possibly not man made, but a natural variant of something being studied in the lab that jumped to humans unexpectedly, and then broke containment from the lab due to lower safety protocols.

  19.  @刚-o2h  not the first time, not the last time. The 1918 Spanish flu never came from Spain. They were the only nation to report of a new deadly flu, because everyone else was fighting in the war and didn't want to lower morale.

  20.  @刚-o2h  Shut up China troll, Taiwan is is SOVEREIGN COUNTRY and China blocking them from getting BioNtech vaccines is MURDER.
