How is this nonsense?
They disregarded bio safety regulations.
Specifically COVID research.
China is conspiring in obstruction per the top leaders of the land.
Unsupported claims about bio safety regulations regarding coronaviruses are worthless. And yes, the lab studies coronaviruses. I literally said that. What's your point?
Are you questioning the factuality of The Independent as a news source or did you fail to read the article? The claims of safety regulation lapses and Chinese obstruction are coming from the Biden administration directly. Are you indicating that they are fraudulent?
You didn't give a news source. There was no link.
The article is this post
What post? I'm still not seeing a link. Do you expect me to just accept your quotes out of context?
The article is the very post we are commenting on. Also, here is something else.

Ah, that article. Gotcha. The one that says:
This does not negate the HHS claims that the lab was being negligent and unsafe.
