The world needs a proper investigation into how Covid-19 started

Honestly though, do we? Why?

It almost certainly wasn't man made and intentional. That's the only case we really need to know the origin story for, and I don't think anyone serious thinks that is plausible.

Otherwise, the worst case is that it was a lab accident of some kind. It'd be fun to point and blame China for it and all, but is it something we really need?

We don’t know if it was man made or not, or intentional or not.

There’s a lot of conflicting evidence. What we do know is the ccp is blocking any sort of investigation into the origin and possible cause. They began trying to sweep it under the rug just like SARS.

The downside of all this is that the people of China suffer, when it’s not china that’s to blame. It’s the ccp.

Yes.like air crash investigations, to avoid it happening again.

The problem with the boeing 737 MAX was also not intentional.

Unless you would argue we shouldn't investigate that either, why do you make a distinction here?

Boeing has been fined $2.5bn by the US justice department after being charged with fraud and conspiracy in connection with two fatal crashes of its 737 Max airliner.

Sounds like the DOJ found intention in there.
