#4  The left is now saying it is Trump's fault that the Chinese/Wuhan Lab connection was not accepted by the media at first.

All I can do is shake my head on that one. The media didn't accept anything from Trump in four years, but that's his fault. Uh, yeah, got it.

The same slame stream media that was criticizing Trump for calling it the "Chinese Virus" instead of COVID19.

#2  $600k to Wuhan...

I believe this sort of thing is referred to as 'contracting for services.' UK MI-6 fella Mr. Christopher Steele might be able to provide additional information and contacts.

Some may recall the French had similar 'off-set' testing arrangements in the 1960's. Here is a memory jogger.

$600. was very likely seed money. Just say'n.
