Habla inglis?? no speake inglish? "...we have *hidden laboratories* in which men are working as 'hard as they can' to develop bacteria for which 'no one else will be able to find a cure'. " -- RICHARD P. FEYNMAN 1963 Strange.... No mention that the virus came from the Wuhan Lab in China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19 WIKIPEDIA co-founder: Nobody should trust the site! Wikipedia co-founder: I no longer trust the website I created Don't you think the scientist at the Wuhan Lab should get some Wikipedia credit for working as hard as they can to develop a virus for which no one else will be able to find a cure, and kill millions of people and devastate the world????
