Then expect to be patronised. I'm as sick as many others of your invalid assertions that merely deflect arguments, and in effect, turn them into passive aggressive contests of rhetoric. You weren't referring to anything, simply trying to belittle people with your superior intellect. You have berated others for traits you, in fact, display more than they do. The countless times you have been beaten in arguments has been comedy gold, yet you have failed to notice. You are like the John Cleese 'pay for an argument' guy in Monty Python: merely a contrarian. As for the assertions, I assert the virus comes from China, so do many others. It is not because of Trump, or anyone else, it is because it is the obvious cause that they even admitted themselves. And now covered up. You have now been fooled by them twice, shame on you.

Perhaps you should have replied to the first post then! Why are his assertions childish? because you don’t agree with them? Patronising responses are somewhat inevitable when coming from you

What about the factory farms in the West. They are as disgusting and worse in many ways. Many workers there contracted coronavirus and were forced to continue working and some even died during this pandemic because of the conditions they were working in.
Animals are pumped full of antibiotics to prevent them from contracting diseases from their environment and pumped full of more drugs to make them grow at unnatural rates. If we are questioning China's wet markets then we should be questioning factory farms in the West too.

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshipping.

The use of antibiotics has dropped massively in the UK. In poultry, by 80% between 2012 and 2018. Buy British.

The arguments for and against factory farms are complex. In terms of biosecurity the case is stronger for them than against them. You don't need antibiotics if you don't let bacteria in.

I must admit battery chicken farms and the like are a real hen hellscape, both as an idea and reality. Depressing places. There are definitely issues with how we treat animals though in other ways we are animals lovers. Compared to these repugnant wet markets though, where they skin animals alive like it's nothing, we are a model of excellence.

Just imagine a country creates a virus, then creates a vacine then releases it around the world. Then comes up with a story of " we have nearly made a vacine"

Surely not!!!!
