Not parent, but considering the USA covered up and denied the virus spread for several months, the argument could be that China/CCP doing the same doesn’t indicate the virus was engineered by China. After all, there is no indication th

You can see that covid-19 related deaths aren’t “inflated” by comparing the numbers to excess deaths and seeing they correlate (not just nationally, but by region and time). When 100,000 people are reported to die of covid in the USA or ano

The alpha variant (B117) emerged in the UK in November 2020, there’s no indication it had anything to do with vaccines. The delta variant (B.1.617) was detected in India in October 2020. So saying the vaccines caused these variants to evolv
