Check out “Viral” by Chan and Ridley - I highly recommend this book.
Edit: Yes, the initial pandemic virus most likely leaked from WIV lab in Wuhan. Whether it was engineered and whether it was intentional are different questions.
- pindab0ter 5y agoNow this is much more likely than it supposed to have been a bio weapon.
- option 5y agoOne “coincidence” to keep in mind is that Hong Kong had months of pro-democracy protests with China having no viable solution to this “problem” until pandemic shut down all street activities. So it could be that pandemic info obstruction by China in the beginning was related to that regardless of how the virus emerged.
- benpiper 5y agoI don't know whether it was a bioweapon. But consider that if the goal of a bioweapon is to disrupt your adversaries as much as possible, which is more effective: 1. having it kill almost everyone (including your own people) and then disappear, or 2. having it kill some people, cause fear and panic, and disrupt economies and societies for years on end? If it is a bioweapon, it's been an extremely effective one.
