A pathogen lab studying cures is functionally the same as a pathogen lab for engineering bioweapons.
What evidence do you have that covid-19 was a "bioweapon"?
Circumstantial.
- The initial suggestions about r0, aerosolibility, durability, etc match 'gain of function' features which are worked on in biological weapons development. As time goes by and if the initial reports prove to be unfounded, then this circumstantial evidence is accourdingly deprecated.
- The obviously bogus nature of the 'bat soup' story and how it was circulated on social media were a match for deployment of a biological agent for propaganda purposes.
- The match for previous 'hypothetical' infections of coronavirus including the 'ecersize 201' held to 'simulate' a coronavirus pandemic only weeks before the first admitted case in China.
- The use of the 'covid-19' even to achieve a myriad of psychological and social goals. Most certainly including mass surveillance and mandatory vaccination for all people on earth.
- The figures behind the various 'hypothetical' infections and the various programs such as 'ID2020' (Bill Gates in particular) being very quick to jump hard on the bandwagon and continue to lead the charge.
These are a few things which raise the eyebrows of people such as myself who've been basically expecting such an operation. Speaking for myself, I did not really recognize that it would be possible to achieve all of these things with a standard coronavirus that was and always has been kicking around in the mix for potentially a very long time. When I realized that, it changed my mind on whether this 'almost had to be' a biological weapon.
Unlike most analysts, I fairly strongly entertain the hypothesis that the 'animosity' and competition between the 'superpowers' is not a real thing. I think it possible that it is more akin to the 'animosity' between the Democrats and the Republicans which is almost completely a stage show. I think it entirely possible that both the 'covid-19' thing and the coming war are entirely choreographed by entities who are above the commonly recognized governments (Trump, the CCP, etc) and are effectively pulling the strings on these entities, the mainstream media, the tech giants, etc.
