Right, but the purpose of the narrative is not to compare whether we are doing the same thing. It is to blame China for the pandemic. TBH, if we did the same thing, I expect the rest of the world would blame us.

That said, it seems pretty unproductive at this point to blame anyone, but it does seem productive to avoid it happening again.

Do we need to actually blame them, as such? Or is it more important to memorialize the mistake so we can learn from our history?

That's exactly my point. It doesn't help anyone to blame anyone else, and the fact that Americans are so fast to blame China is very telling.

Years of propaganda has worked its magic in far more sinister ways than any of us want to admit, especially to ourselves.
