Because you say so? LMAO IF you bothered to try to find EVIDENCE for your flippant irrelevancy, you would find it's irrelevant. The FACT that CO2 causes atmospheric WARMING is proven in the laboratory and undisputed because atmospheric temperatures are correlated with atmospheric CO2 concentrations througout HISTORY. What we have is consensus as a byproduct of EXTENSIVE EVIDENCE. If you don't believe it, I suggest you visit Venus. Too bad all you have is ^this speculation unsupported by ANY evidence. LMAO

YOU'RE LYING. There is no confustion except right wingers like yourself who are IGNORANT of the role that the brain plays in sexual orientation. You forgot to consult the DSM-5 which says YOU'RE WRONG. LMAO Experts say it is you who must prove YOUR erroneous hypothesis. -

It is unfortunate that you don't understand the history of mid-term elections and the depth of Trump's approval ratings. -

covid zoonosis vs lab leak Scientific consensus and World Health Organization (WHO) reports conclude that a natural zoonotic spillover is the most likely origin of SARS-CoV-2, while the alternative lab leak hypothesis remains an unproven, plausible alternative due to a lack of complete data. JAMA +1 Zoonotic Origin (Natural Spillover) The Theory: The virus originated in bats, jumped to an intermediate animal host, and spilled over into humans at a live-animal market (such as the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China). The Evidence: Early COVID-19 cases clustered heavily around the Huanan Market, where environmental samples tested positive for the virus. Swabs also matched the genetic material of animals susceptible to coronaviruses (such as raccoon dogs) sold at the market. Additionally, genomic analysis reveals the virus evolved naturally through processes common in wild coronaviruses rather than being engineered. Verdict: Supported by the majority of virologists and epidemiologists. JAMA +5 Laboratory-Related Origin (Lab Leak) The Theory: The virus was being studied at a laboratory (such as the Wuhan Institute of Virology) and accidentally escaped into the human population. The Evidence: Proponents point to the fact that the pandemic started in the same city as major coronavirus research facilities. However, neither the global scientific community nor western intelligence agencies have found definitive evidence of a specific leak, nor have they found records of a SARS-CoV-2 precursor existing in the lab prior to the outbreak. Verdict: Considered plausible by some intelligence agencies, but lacks direct supporting evidence. ASM Journals +4 To explore the nuances of the scientific debate, consult the following resources: The Zoonotic Case: Review the NIH A Critical Analysis of the Evidence for the SARS-CoV-2 Origin and the JAMA WHO Report Suggests Likely Zoonotic Origin of COVID-19.

It’s Way Past Due That Rand Paul Quit His Covid-19 Crusade At a congressional hearing, the senator from Kentucky made a fool of himself as he tried to prove that the pandemic was a government cover-up. The only amusement came while Erdman was being questioned by Senator Ron (Shreds of Freedom) Johnson. Erdman’s testimony was interrupted when Johnson read a letter from CIA public-affairs director Liz Lyons: And with that, the snipes flew away, unharmed and cackling.
