          I love the COVID was a bioweapon line of argument because if you track it to it’s logical conclusion, China is capable of making bioweapons that America and the rest of the West are extremely shitty at defending against so China could just hit them again and again whenever it wanted with disproportionate losses for the West.

          It’s deliberately creating a conspiracy theory to show how much you suck.

            And also that the response of every western government to the release of a bioweapon was to do fuck all and infect all their citizens with it and kill millions so that line would go up. With friends like these, huh?

                China has ranked first in the share of published papers since 2017, the top 10% most-cited papers since 2018 and the top 1% since 2019.
