Because exploring the truth is a worthwhile endeavor particularly in the face of an oppressive regime that made it very clear they did not want the truth to be explored.

Just to be clear what I posted seemed like Chinese people exploring what actually happened more than a blame based document or fear mongering based document.

I would really encourage you to give it a chance because it is very impressive investigative work and, really, an impressive exercise of investigative journalism from a country that hates investigative journalists.

I really think it is plain to see that even the most excellent of investigation that doesn't give us any new facts, and even if it were bore out to new facts and had a smoking gun, would still not make us any safer that directly talking about things that will make us safer going forward.

But even if this would be proven true, it would not do anything to bring down China. Even if scores of people testified it was a deliberate bioweapon, I don't see how that changes anyone's contempt for them.

I think you bring up a good ideal about sunlight exposing them, but this seems to be squinting into the fog and there are actual things to do to prepare for the next pandemic or to fight against their oppression and concentration camps.

The purpose of that article is not to bring down china. It's not ideologically opposed to china. It was not some conservative agenda article. It's a group of people who want to understand what happened. The article comes from a stance of curiosity. What I linked is very compatible with the HN mindset and not particularly ideological.

You clearly have not read it because your comment makes no sense in the context of that article.

If you don't want to be curious then don't be.

Why is it important to you? Or is that curiosity off the plate? Often people are drawn to never ending questions to escape from their own problems, or, conspiratorial stuff is attractive when people feel out of control in their lives, but a conspiracy is a cohesive idea that can be blamed.

Why do they think it can be found out what happened? Everything can be pressed forever. Let's go forward because you game theory it like HN people used to love to talk about, and it all leads to not much help.

You are spamming this thread. Looks like you are working for the CCP. Don't make it too obvious.

Lol. If the treatment of their own people wasn't bad enough and it took a pandemic conspiracy theory to hate them, then I feel like you need to read more.
