Ive seen it referenced before, and all the evidence I’ve seen is that the West was talking about coronavirus in China before they were even talking about it. Is there any more evidence?

      Indeed I haven’t seen any clear evidence either. Also, aside from the more widely spread theories about it coming from China there are also theories that it originated on a U.S. military base such as Fort Detrick. Eventually we may have some evidence but not yet as far as I know.

      Yes, it’s not proven, but there has to be something the theories are based on.

      • USA utilising its bullshit global media apparatus to spread false propaganda. The whole thing was generated conspiracy by QAnon Republicans out of China’s wet market seafood eating culture, plus the BSL-3 virus labs working with coronavirus family strains. Trump helped fuel his QAnon team crap with “China virus” labelling in his tweets.

  • Dr. Shi, aka the bat lady, had jobs with the Wuhan Institute of Virology as well as University of North Carolina conducting gain of function research on sars-cov-1. This took place over many years and she would fly back and forth between the BSL-4 labs to assess what additions and/or subtractions to the viral genome increased its pathogenicity. This being the case, the US claiming China caused the novel viral outbreak alone is outlandish. Dr. Shi was paid via a federal grant to do the same research at UNC she was doing in Wuhan.
