In a super strange twist, it turns out that the United States may have actually funded research on coronavirus at the very laboratory that is under suspicion of potentially having released the SARS-CoV-2 virus. To note that the link is still very much under investigation. But what gives? Why under any circumstances should the US be funding Chinese research in the first place? See this article for more information: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gop-seeks-records-on-possible-us-funding-of-research-at-chinese-lab/ar-AAMrTPi. What are your thoughts?

On a more serious note US has all the facilitating equipments and research tools needed for the thesis of Sars-Cov-2.

My thought regarding this is that knowingly they might not have released the virus which is even a danger to them and their close people too. Even if the US has funded for the research of the virus, they cannot be blamed for what has happened unknowingly. So instead of blaming anyone, we should be finding ways to eliminate this virus.

This topic can be a challenging debate. We must prioritize what is more important to us in terms of global health and ethics. It is a time where we all need help, and nations are suffering from pandemic death. As medical professionals, we must understand it is about doing it right. I am not really aware if it is funding the all projects. The US has funded several areas of COVID 19 and other research areas, too, just not today and even before within the United States. I will rather research more to see if the US is funding all the COVID 19 projects. Maybe the US is taking help from China to support COVID research for our country’s benefit and global benefit. One must not forget that talent is everywhere, and if a country is getting benefited to protect the global health, the US has the choice to fund it. If China is willing to help and the US is supporting in funding, there is nothing wrong. I am not sure there are a lot of other facts that one is aware of. The fact is we must look at the big picture and supporting global health, research for better lives.

I find this statement inciting and dangerous. Yes we have the technology and scientists in the US. to perform the research we need against this virus. However, this question adds to the misconception and furthers prejudice in the Asian community. Why would this inherently be a bad idea? Why not combine intelligence and resources to battle COVID? The idea is not a bad one, however linking race is dangerous, and a slippery slope that may lead to bad outcomes for innocent people.
Yes I understand that in the world of intelligence and politics, the Chinese government is not necessarily our friend. That in the world of espionage and security they are in the limelight. However, careful choice of words will lessen the impact on the average Asian person living their lives, without the implication that due to their race, that somehow they had a part in COVID and the spread.

The funding of Chinese laboratory seems to be part of a research collaboration. Donald Trump called SARS-CoV-2 a Chinese virus but later on he declined to his claim by just tweeting “China” . The Chinese authorities blamed India for the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and it is now obvious in the form of Delta varient. In the begining of the COVID-19 crisis many people believed that China is using SARS-CoV-2 as a biological weapon against the United States but no evidence yet exists.

Well I have no idea about the truth in ” US is funding Chinese Research on Covid 19″
However it seems true because of these reasons
1.As US wants to find out the reason behind Covid 19 Pandemic so they are willing to splash money to get there
2.Since US and China are two greatest nuclear powers now
They are both indulged in Cold Warb
So Conspiracy theory suggest that China has either intentionally or mistakenly caused this pandemic for lots of untold and pretty obvious reason that are sometimes discussed Considering the scientist involved already informed who and China of potential outbreak which if dealt at that stage ,we would have been in much better state
So to find out and link it with US or China may be the reason
3.US being the leading country in Health Department they might want to find out possible treatment to it

There can be other reason but these are the most imp and talked about ones

, under attack for his role in funding research at a laboratory many suspect of being the cause of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, defended his actions Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union talk show.

Fauci, the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has admitted that the US gave the Wuhan, China lab hundreds of thousands of dollars for research. He has, however, denied it was specifically for the dangerous “gain of function” studies, wherein researchers alter a disease to increase pathogenesis, transmissibility, or host range. Such modifications hope to develop vaccines and therapeutics, but create deadlier strains. Some speculate one such strain escaped the Wuhan lab.

The United States should not be funding Chinese research on a virus that started in China. Given the misnformation that was initially provided I would not consider the results provided reliable or verifiable. Funding research, in a foreign country that has not been cooperative, seems unwise, wasteful, and the results suspect. It is appropriate for the United States to continue to fund and help our own country, and other lesser developed countries in disease management. The country of China has an obligation and the financial means to do the research and share it with the world. We are simply being taken advantage of if we fund Chinese researchers.

This simply makes sense. Considering the competitive nature of such research taking place in the capitalistic systems of USA, it is obvious why researchers would transfer their work to places like China and simply fund them. Firstly, it helps them keep their work more private, whereas if it took place here, someone might steal their work. Secondly, if something bad happens – ex. a virus gets leaked- they don’t deal with the blame. Thirdly, although the American researchers came up with the idea, they get Chinese scientists to do the work for them in exchange for money, and if it is successful the American scientists get the credit (if you don’t understand why this exchange is favorable to the Chinese in the economic aspect, you need to do some background research on the way China’s economy runs). Seeing the amount of questionable actions the US has taken over the course of its existence, a lot of them justified to the American public by the excuse that ‘the US is helping ____’ while hiding the real motive and benefit to the US (once again American history taught in public schools is very inaccurate, always glorifying the US, do your research peeps), the case of the United States having funded research on coronavirus at the laboratory that is under suspicion of potentially having released the SARS-CoV-2 virus makes absolute sense. Now if the research had been successful no-one would know about this and American scientists would once again have been praised for their groundbreaking accomplishments. And that’s the tea sis.

The craziest thing about all of this is when covid was first being talked about there was 31 variants stolen by a virologist and two lab assistants from the United States. One assistant was allegedly killed under mysterious circumstances at the airport in Shanghai on arrival. The virologist and the other assistant made it to Wuhan and promptly vanished. Nothing further in the media. The story literally vanished. Now that more is coming out, Fauci is running scared because the “mutation” story isn’t holding water. I firmly believe China has 31 variants and they are threatening various countries with releasing the more deadly variants of they don’t get what they want. Specifically trade increased. Sanctions removed. A blind eye to their military build up. A blind eye to them invading Taiwan. Basically China wants to be the only superpower and they are using biological weapons to make it happen. Every time we start to recover, they release a new threat and Joe Biden runs scared and his handlers take away more of our rights. Anything to distract us from what China is doing. Open borders. Antifa attacks. Literally bringing in thousands of covid positive illegals while trying to blame those opposing the vaccine for the uptick in cases. We need to close the border. Deport the illegals. Stop all trade with China. Cancel all foreign aid and use that money to reboot our economy. If we don’t, this country is done.
