The press dragged Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas over the coals this year for suggesting the COVID-19 virus may have originated in a lab in Wuhan, China.
Now, months later, major newsrooms are saying we cannot discount the possibility that the viral pandemic that has killed 1.8 million people and counting may indeed be the product of a Wuhan lab experiment gone terribly wrong.
Where does Sen. Cotton go for his apology?
“We don’t know where [COVID-19] originated,” the senator said in February, “and we have to get to the bottom of that. We also know that just a few miles away from that food market is China’s only biosafety level 4 super laboratory that researches human infectious diseases.”
He added, “Now, we don’t have evidence that this disease originated there, but because of China’s duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning, we need to at least ask the question to see what the evidence says. And China right now is not giving any evidence on that question at all.”
