Despite your previous statement to the contrary?

 

Thank you and farewell.

At what point did I mention I was part of Harvard Medical School?

 

I find making accusations that are false about me a serious matter. Signing off with farewell will not cut it I'm afraid

So basically two Chinese guys (possibly not there real names, lol) didnt steal anything from unknown US companies, but they have been on a Hacking spree for a decade.

 

Quick , look over there, my poll numbers are down and I have stuffed up the US response to Covid and even Fox news is correcting my stupid comments.

Is it any surprise the Chinese would attempt to steal anything to advance their world domination? They've stolen the South China Sea after all!

and  they send their  kids to the worlds  best universities to  steal the  knowledge  we stupidly  hand  out.

Actually it's only 16 days as the genome was revealed by China on January 11.

Revealed on Jan 11 because the Thai had already sequenced the genome from their first SARS-2 patient and confirmed it matched China's on January 12. Takes 3 days to sequence an entirely new genome. So the Chinese kept it hidden (secret) until they could no longer hide it. Thanks CCP.

In 27 days? How much meaningful research can you do in 27 days against a brand new virus?

Even on the first day the US biotec firm learned about SARS-2, they would have years of hi tech proprietary secrets useful for vaccine development to steal. Surely you or at least the CCP would know this.

 

The elephant in the room is how could the CCP possibly know so early that they had a pandemic on their hands that would require stealing vaccine technology, and know in advance what technology to steal. Neither the scientific knowledge or organizing spy work is instantaneous. There would be significant setup time and decision processing.

 

Genetic researchers have now pinned down SARS-2's emergence to as early as October, so they could have known that long.

Am not surprised the Chinese are conducting espionage. Our friends at GCHQ only spy on the British fortunately.

Since the date of the alleged incursion was Jan 27, it wasn't that early. The virus in China was already cause for alarm.
