The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

washingtonexaminer.com - Covid genetic sequence hidden

House Republicans said Thursday that the genetic sequence for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was isolated and mapped by researchers in China in late December 2019, two weeks before Beijing revealed the existence of the deadly virus to global public health authorities.

In other words, they knew all about the thing before the first Patient Zeroes showed up in the US or elsewhere.

“This significant discovery further underscores why we cannot trust any of the so-called ‘facts’ or data provided by the CCP and calls into serious question the legitimacy of any scientific theories based on such information,” said House Energy and Commerce Committee chairwoman Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), subcommittee on health chairman Brett Guthrie (R-KY), and subcommittee on oversight and investigations chairman Morgan Griffith (R-VA). The legislators, whose committee released the documents, said the new information proves the need for improved oversight of grant research funding and biosecurity practices.

Before someone asks, the US Department of Energy has jurisdiction in these areas.
