Sure, and I'd like to think we don't run scientific tests on black people without their knowledge or consent, but that doesn't line up either.

If you think the U.S. is above unlawfully detaining a doctor, then I've got sad news for you.

Great argument... if the US did this, I'm sure no one would demand an investigation... /s

US did this many times. The investigations ended up like they usually do in US, starting from My Lai - in the best case they’ll find a single scapegoat and that’s it.

I'm not claiming the us didnt do this. I'm disputing that people would stay silent when the us does this.

The us does do this and has large and growing domestic opposition movements.

People don’t stay silent, but the way the US works, it simply doesn’t matter.

If we had 100% incontrivertible evidence COVID came from a CHinese lab, I can 100% guarantee you nothing would happen to china.

That doesn't mean knowing isn't worthwhile? Like knowing about FISA courts did nothing to the feds but its worth knowing about
