I think I didn't make my point

> Lab leak and intentional bioweapon, one whose patient zero was in China, are totally different.
Any lab working on gain of function research is arguably by definition, working on bio weapons or bio weapon defense. I'm not saying I believe in the lab leak. I'm rather saying that it's not hard for me to believe that if you believe in a lab leak you believe the research that lab is doing is related to bioweapons, even if they weren't building a weapon.

The article didn't mention a "secret governmen program". It just said "condensation from planes supposedly being harmful ‘chemtrails’"
stuff coming out of planes is harmful, full stop. So it's not hard to believe that seeing "condensation from planes supposedly being harmful ‘chemtrails’" is associated with / confused with, the actual harms.

But that isn't the claim. It's specifically "a biological weapon intentionally created and released by China" (emphasis mine) [1]. > The article didn't mention a "secret governmen program" The study does. Chemtrails refer to "the trails left behind airplanes are toxic chemicals released as part of a secret government programme."
