Republicans love to misread events to follow the narratives that make them feel good, and they're not amenable to reasonable argument (if they were, they would not be Republicans); and not everyone likes playing chess with pigeons. The first two paragraphs of your linked article address most of what I'm seeing in the thread so far:
Federal health officials Wednesday suspended funding to a U.S. research organization linked to investigations about the novel coronavirus’s origins, saying the move is “necessary to protect the public interest” given the organization’s failure to monitor virus experiments in a Chinese lab before the pandemic.
Federal officials also are seeking to block future funding to EcoHealth Alliance, which worked with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, citing new evidence about EcoHealth’s actions that emerged ahead of a contentious congressional hearing this month.
There's more and better evidence linking Donald Trump to Russian intelligence than there is linking EcoHealth to the COVID pandemic, but the same crowd scream to cislunar orbit if you suggest taking any action based on
that evidence. And this is the same pandemic which, by the way, Republicans have spent years telling me wasn't all that dangerous and is just an excuse for government overreach.
Republicans liking for this decisions is completely independent of any merits it may have; they like solely because it makes them feel good. If deliberately sparking a pandemic made them feel good,
they'd do that, too.
