I don't think that's right, other articles refer to another time the President deployed the National Guard without the respective governor's consent, and it was back in like 1965.
Ultimately, the President is the head of the military, and the National Guard is a part of that.
Yes, as per the paper I linked in my comment above. Also, as per every other similar respiratory virus that has had threat of turning into an epidemic, they all involve zoonotic transmission.
You really think this was some unique and special thing that never ever happens in nature?
I didn't just read your post article, I read the article linked within it (which is what you're actually quoting here - maybe you should have posted that article?).
Based on the materials BND agents found and analyzed, they used a ‘Probability Index’ to measure the reliability of information, which determined the lab-leak theory was ‘probable’ with an ‘80 to 95 percent’ certainty.
So we're taking the word of a foreign spy agency cosplaying as academic researchers?
Actual scientific research and probability assessment points to Covid 19 being much more likely to be a zoonotic transfer from the Wuhan wet market. We can't rule out a lab leak, but neither can you rule out a wet market - and yet that's exactly what you're trying to do.
Comments like:
Additionally, uncovered materials revealed Chinese scientists had ‘an unusually large amount of knowledge about the supposedly novel virus available at an unusually early stage.’
Are intentionally misleading. Of course China had enhanced knowledge of the virus - it originated there. It is also widely known that China did not publish most of the information they had, and only selectively released a very limited amount of data to the public.
China took tons of samples from the wet market, hyped their own paper that was going to claim proof it wasn't from the wet market, but only released data they thought wouldn't prove it did. However, researchers managed to glean significant indication that it did come from the wet market based on the limited data available. It wasn't the best indication, because the type of data that would show that was withheld by China, but it was still strong enough that they wrote a paper on it. The Chinese paper remains unpublished, along with its data. The data China did release on public servers, the stuff used in the paper above, was promptly removed from Chinese servers as soon as the researchers started asking them about it.
China have done what they can to cover up the fact that it came from the wet market. China's official stance is that it didn't come from China at all.
This here is and has always been nothing but a political witch hunt from the extremist far right, exploiting China's lies and molding them into your own.
That should really be the rule for all movies.
