COVID lab leak is a scandal of media and government censorship. For years, the media and government allied to treat anyone raising a lab theory as one of three possibilities: conspiracy theorist or racist or racist conspiracy theorist.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Trump actually suggest, way back when the initial Covid shit was starting up, that it was a lab leak from China and that was one of the reasons why he wanted to specifically restrict travel to and from China? And got called a racist for his trouble, if I further recall correctly.

It's racist/xenophobic because:

1) The virus had already made its way out of China. Chinese have the highest population in the world and they travel everywhere. A better policy would be to restrict travel from all countries.

2) Unless you had foreknowledge like Trump did, no one could predict that it would actually become a worldwide pandemic. The last time there was a world wide pandemic was in 1918, the Spanish flu, which originated from the Rockefeller Research Foundation. The first SARS also never really affected any other country other than China. The other coronavirus, MERS-CoV, also just limited to the Middle East (another area the US was messing with). Contagious infectious diseases pop up all the time everywhere.

So why was the media suddenly hyping up SARS-2 right from the start? Why was there so much speech control on COVID? Why ban travel for this particular incidence from this one particular country? It's almost as if they came prepared.
