Any cuts to US government funding of medical research will kill millions, say the media. But cuts to US government spending on coronavirus research would have saved millions, as they now finally admit. Why can't they see the contradiction? Because Orange Man/Rocket Man Bad.

The former head of the UK's foreign intelligence agency, MI6, told Boris Johnson in early 2020 that the Covid virus escaped from the Wuhan lab. That means that the US, UK, Chinese, & German governments all knew the truth, covered it up, and spread disinformation. Case closed.

The statement uses sarcasm to criticize the idea of auditing US government medical research funding and questions the authority of top medical officials. It engages in public discourse by addressing government accountability and transparency in medical research funding.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement uses sarcasm, which may not promote understanding or empathy, potentially violating the principle of doing no harm. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying or hate speech, but the sarcastic tone may not fully respect the dignity of others.
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive criticism, as it uses sarcasm rather than reasoned argumentation. [-1]
