The USA has more mental health issues than any other first world country, it has schools that resemble prisons with guards and metal detectors, you have more mass shootings in a year than the rest of the entire world combined in the last 30 years, you have constant school shootings, politicians that are bought and paid for with legalized bribery in the form of lobbying and campaign donations, you have the most expensive health care system on the planet, literally the entire planet. Your country is rife with gun violence, crime and medical debt. But if you ask an American they will tell you "It's the greatest country in the world", your country is a shit hole and you are just too ignorant to realize it.

His job was financing gain of function research in Wuhan that may have led to millions of people dying and then lying about it. He funded Eco health alliance after they were turned down by the Pentagon as the research was consider too dangerous, it was also banned in the US at the time hence Wuhan lab.
