You know, just to kick this can one more time while I am in the neighborhood, I will say forthrightly that if this chinese insider chick were working inside russian government and had some dirt on Trump, they would be putting down the welcome mat for her in DC and we would have a dozen Adam Schiff/Jerry Nadler committees fired up and ready to go.
What are the views here on this "rogue" whistleblower Chinese virologist?

The Chinese and the left have the same goal, crush the US economy and cause social chaos. The Chinese rightly know once that happens the ensuing meltdown will last years giving them opportunities to lead the rebuild. The left wrongly believes the economy can be turned back on like a switch. Ain't gonna happen and we haven't even begun to see the full impact of this shutdown. They also believe they can put the social unrest genie back in the bottle. Nope, that monster has got a taste of power and money like they've never had before. The mob is insatiablely hungry and will stay that way.
Dr. Rasmussen is outlining the reality. COVID-19 most likely started in a cave with bats in China. The research lab in Wuhan, which is not in a region with these type of bats, took the virus in to study it. Unfortunately the safety precautions in the virus lab in Wuhan were less than adequate (as outlined in reports). At this point they even narrowed it down to the name of the researcher who walked out of the lab with COVID-19 accidentally and spread it around Wuhan starting the pandemic. A large majority of researchers agree with this scenario and it aligns with reports from the governments of multiple countries.
Dr Yan's assertions that COVID-19 is a bio-engineered virus which was created with gene splicing and other bio-engineering activities is fictional to any legitimate researcher who has studied the virus and her paper. This is why she was booted from Twitter -- she is pushing nonsense.
But do the Chinese even "know" that and say that or are westerners putting together a rationale for them because that's what we do.
Be nice if they could get their story together.
So far, they won't even admit to the virus coming from Wuhan either in the form of having been taken there from a bat cave or developed there, regardless of the theory. So others may have narrowed down who did what or have come up with theories to cover their arses but the chinese don't accept those either. Westerners are trying to hide their bottles for them but they still don't admit that they have been drinking in any form.
The Australians continue to call for an international inquiry even though it has pissed off the Chinese and cause the biggest diplomatic rift with them that they have ever had and the Chinese are threatening them bigtime economically for it. But the Aussies are absolutely unyielding on it under the Morrison government rather than the previous pussy guy.
International inquiry, yes. Let's do that. If it pisses off the Chinese all the better. Just means you are getting close to something they want to hide. I am not married to any theory or to that chinese chick but i don't see any organized attempt in the u.s. to even look into the chinese virus issue- even if the chick never appeared. She would just be one of many witnesses in a proper inquiry - to also include all the virologist that say she is a crock.
We need to support the Australians and stand with them. Not with China.
Chinese diplomat says virus didn’t come from Wuhan, slams Australians for ‘whining’

You want opinion? It may have come from a Wuhan laboratory but I rather doubt it was released with intent as it is hard to see how that would produce anything positive for China. Their own population got it along with everyone else.
If it was ever proven to have been released intentionally it would be grounds for very harsh action. Not even going to speculate about what actions could be taken.

It is hard to cut the chinese any slack because they continue to just use every opportunity to walk sideways like a crab away from the issue. As we know, when investigations are in progress on a matter that type of behavior is just blood in the water. Of course, they know there is no real investigation in progress so they get away with it.
Example of the day:
The Aussies, as discussed, put pressure on WHO to redeem itself by doing an investigation. Which the chinese owned guy, Tedros, agree to. Naturally their Chinese puppetmasters kept them away from everything and gave them talking points.
They are running out the clock for Biden then they be coo.
WHO then concluded their little in-house inquiry and said "nothing to see here."
Now the Aussies are pissed at WHO because WHO told them that they had an investigative team in China for three weeks which was true- but it has now been revealed that they never visited Wuhan even once. What's wrong with that picture class?
WOMP........WOMP......womp snakes on steroids.

I Googled Dr. Rasmussen. She made some very interesting statements in an article in which she was interviewed at the end of January 2020.
Some excerpts of her answers below.

So this may be closer to seasonal flu than “thermonuclear pandemic”?
Exactly. Which isn’t to say that we shouldn’t take it seriously because flu is a preventable illness with a vaccine and drugs, while there are no vaccine or drugs for this. People probably haven’t been exposed to something like it before so they’re going to be susceptible. But at the same time, seasonal flu alone kills 30,000 people in the U.S. a year on average. And people are refusing to get flu shots! People need to keep that in perspective.
How effective is quarantine as a public-health strategy?
At this point the virus is out there. It’s here in the States. It’s in Europe. It’s in Japan and other parts of Asia and Australia. It’s everywhere and can be transmitted human-to-human. A country-scale quarantine, travel bans, and things like that are going to be completely ineffective. Furthermore, they’re potentially harmful because they have a huge economic cost and disrupt the supply chain and make it harder to move necessary supplies and resources around. In that regard, country-level quarantines or even large region-level or city-level quarantines could actually be more harmful than beneficial.
Yes... she has made some interesting statements. She also mentioned that most of her assertions are also in regards to after a vaccine is available for COVID-19. Her perspective is that COVID-19 is "novel" now but after a vaccine is widely available it becomes similar to a seasonal flu.
Do you agree with the following statement that she made at the end of January?
"A country-scale quarantine, travel bans, and things like that are going to be completely ineffective."
Keeping in mind that she is a virologist and NOT a public health expert -- -to provide some context.
I do not agree with her statement. IMO she should stay in the lane of what she is an expert at... but it appears that everyone has an opinion.... and -- of course -- they are free to express it.
