Nobody should be shocked by this. Scientists early on saw some odd characteristics of this virus and said so. But then the chatter about the virus having been manufactured in a lab stopped. If we had an honest media, and not a bunch of hacks suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, the questions of where and how this virus originated would have been investigated and thoroughly discussed. Instead, Big Tech and the media cancelled anyone who even suggested the virus came from a lab - and now we know that there is a distinct possibility the virus was leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.
The great fear of the left is not that we will find out that the virus leaked from a lab in China. The great fear is we will find out it was leaked intentionally. And the reason it was leaked intentionally is obvious - to influence the 2020 presidential election.
COVID-19 is not an ideal biological weapon. First, about 40% of those infected are asymptomatic. Then, the young are almost immune to the effects of the virus. The elderly and sick are most susceptible to COVID, but these are not the people ideally targeted by a bioweapon. But COVID is an ideal psy-ops weapon. It is just deadly enough to scare people into irrational behavior. All China had to do is convince the WHO that drastic measures had to be taken to prevent a human catastrophe, and WHO complied. They recommended lockdowns, travel restrictions, contact tracing etc. all to convince people COVID is scary and to catch it meant a death sentence. We were convinced that COVID was so deadly that destroying the economy was necessary to stop the spread of the virus.
Remember what China did at the onset of this pandemic. First, they kept it quiet. Then when it became obvious people in China were getting sick China locked down Wuhan province but allowed people to leave if their destinations were anywhere other than China. This is how the virus spread. Then China claimed there was no human to human transmission while simultaneously denying the CDC and other health organizations access to the virus or to Wuhan. When the first human to human transmission occurred in the US, around Jan 21, 2020, China announced that the virus was in fact capable of spreading from human to human. By then literally tens of thousands of people had traveled from Wuhan China to the US, and many other parts of the world.
China's behavior clearly delayed the world's and the US response to the virus. This alone showed that China was absolutely capable of starting a pandemic as a means to an end. The end they wanted was a Biden victory in the 2020 presidential election. Sounds farfetched? Of course it does, but history is full of lessons telling us farfetched does not mean it is not true.
One final thought. If China was willing to release a virus to start a pandemic in order to influence a US election, do you think they would help Democrats cheat to win that election?
