Ridgewood NJ, a majority of voters think it is likely COVID-19 originated in a Chinese research laboratory and believe a federal investigation of the pandemic’s origin is very important.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 68% of Likely U.S. Voters believe it is likely that the COVID-19 virus originated in a Chinese laboratory, including 43% who think it’s Very Likely. Only 16% of voters don’t think it’s likely the virus came from a Chinese lab, while another 16% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
This should surprise no one.
It came from the lab.
It’s settled science.
Now all of that other “stuff” (released on purpose, released by accident, released to get Trump out of office, etc. etc.) veers into speculative territory. But the source… definitely the Wuhan lab.
I thought we weren’t allowed to blame the Chinese as doing so somehow triggers people into committing Asian hate crimes?
