This theory was advanced for the rest of President Trump’s tenure in the Oval Office. Here’s the issue with that: Because of Donald Trump’s inability to keep facts straight, tell the truth or not say outright lies about many different subjects, when he espouses a theory it becomes tainted with the odor of falsehoods that emanate from him. I, for one, was impacted by my personal observations of the man.
An Eric Holdeman quote I’ve shared before is, “only you can take away your integrity.” Once it is gone, then you can be shouting “wolf, wolf” at the top of your lungs when there really is a wolf and no one will believe you.
It is possible that President Trump was right and everyone poo-pooed it because of his past utterances. I’m reminded of the saying, “even a broken clock is right twice a day.”
As for us really finding out what happened to initiate the COVID-19 virus, I’m not hopeful we will ever know. In a segment on Meet the Press, the details were provided for the level of effort and cooperation we would need from the Chinese to do the appropriate detective work. I don’t think that will ever happen.
