So I was reading the wiki article about "The Stand" and found this a few clicks away.

Now every single bullshit claim about "X brown-country-leader using gas bioweapons against their civilians" is far far richer

Also this, "oh oopsie we developed a nervous gas for the nazis, we were deff trying to make insecticides" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Schrader

        I'm torn because I can so see covid coming from a wet market by accident and I can also see it coming from a USA bio-weapons lab and blamed on China instead.

          Going by the consistent and perpetual need for Fascists and Right-Wing Conservatives to project their god-awful shit onto others. As soon as Rubio, Hawley, and others started pushing the "Covid came from a lab", I seriously considered how easy it would have been for the CIA to deploy a virus and have it completely backfire go according to plan.

          Both theories are still on the table. There is no need to make up your mind right now. In fact, you shouldn't.

      The funny thing about the bio-weapons lab theory is, because while we technically know the Chinese were trying to do that, the Department of Energy actually released it in Wuhan to sabotage Xi, but more specifically target the top engineers on Huawei's secret upcoming product meant to topple the Apple M1 Max, but it got way out of hand and accidentally did more damage to the US economy.
