Ok, “evidence” aside. Let’s talk about biological weapons. The ideal scenario for a weapon would be very different from an ideal evolutionarily for a virus.
Something like Ebola is a great weapon. It is incredibly fatal, and targeted. It takes out the targeted population and burns itself out quickly. It’s contained and destructive.
However something like a Coronavirus spreads too easily. It’s hard to keep from striking back at home. It’s also not deadly enough to be useful militarily. It targets the old and sick (as we’ve observed).
I’m tired of this conspiracy theory. It assumes people who are smart enough to engineer viruses aren’t smart enough to understand weapons. It’s just another Frankenstein tale. The dumb can be appalled by the intellectuals and sleep at night knowing they are righteous.
I'm assuming you didn't bother reading my comment. No one here is discussing biological weapons except for you. I'm talking about a lab accident in a normal lab involving bat pee or bat blood. There were two accidental releases in a Beijing lab involving SARS-Cov-1 in 2004 (admitted by Chinese authorities), resulting in accidental human infections and death.
And it's unclear if that was at case here. It may well turn out not to have involved an lab. But it's also very much up in the air right now.
Next time, try reading before going off on a self-righteous rant.
