Is covid biological warfare, unfortunate accident, or completely random occurence?

It's just a virus. That's all.

We will never truly know. Those who don't like the term "Chinese virus " will be the ones writing the books about it.

I think we don't know either way. Likely not biological warfare as it would have probably been more effective, but an unintentional leak seems very likely. Scary thing is it seems like people forgot that we should think about where this came from

Great article on this question:

There's no particular reason to think it's biological warfare. It could be, obviously, but "could be" isn't good enough.

It might have escaped from a lab. That seems more plausible than biological warfare. Labs do investigate viruses and accidents do happen.

Honestly, though, it's not that dissimilar to other viruses. We know about corona viruses. We've seen SARS viruses before. In fact, we've seen SARS viruses that appeared to originate in China before. This all seems relatively normal.

Finally, so what? I'm sure there are people working to find out whether the virus is natural or man-made, but when it comes to producing and distributing a vaccine and slowing the spread of the virus and all the usual pandemic stuff, it doesn't really matter if it appeared naturally in China or was engineered by Martians. Our medical response is the same. IF (and it's a big if) it turns out that this was a bio-engineered Chinese terror weapon then at some point in the future the political hammer can come down, but at this stage it hardly matters.

It's refreshing to read this instead of saying it to others all the time. Thanks buddy.

Plenty of people could think of many reason. You may not see a reason, but back in 2019 Trump and the USA were doing very well and Trump was being a pain in China's butt. The outbreak occurred in the same city near the Wuhan lab, the only BSL 4 lab in China, which just so happens to study bat corona viruses including having ties to gain of unction studies on bat corona viruses. The pandemic proceeded to decimate Trump's successes and likelyhood to win reelection and ushered in a pro-China US government....and you say there is no particular reason? It might not be true, but there are plenty of reasons, even beyond the China theories; all which are more reasonable than the wet-market hypothesis. You are right though, we will likely never know. If it was intentional by China, I am sure they have removed all evidence now that they have finally let the WHO in to investigate; the shear fact that they did not allow this for an entire year indicates they are not telling the truth. Don't feed the troll telling people to look the other way, let people speculate; Netflix is getting boring.

What mad scientist thought up such a dastardly plan that kills a negligible number of people but only if they already have multiple serious life-threatening illnesses?

"I will unleash this vial of vile virus unless the governments of the world meets my demand of --- one million Kenyan shillings by midnight."

"Perhaps your spam folder filtered out my previous message? I repeat ONE MILLION KENYA SHILLINGS BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT? "

"Don't play dumb with me. I know you got the message. One million shillings by 6 am GMT this morning."

" OK, this is Doctor Evil, PHD early childhood development. Just to check your email addy and update for me:

I've never known a bigger bunch of whiners than Trump fans. NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT HIM.

It's 400,000 dead Americans and over 4000 every day. "Just another flu".

The same lab sequenced a coronavirus isolated from bats 1 year before the outbreak - it's basically the same virus.

Lab leak unlikely - it's very common for viruses to jump across species like flu (Why do you think they regularly cull pigs/chickens etc? ). Especially in China where they live in close proximity to animals or eat wild animals.

Labs take precautions, people eating bats don't.

In a fallen world, Satan has many tools to deter souls from following God. Just another obstacle to overcome before the return of the real King comes when he will put things right and judge those who refuse to believe, follow, and glorify the only one deserving of praise.

If you look at the science and circumstantial evidence there is no way a reasonable person can eliminate the lab leak. The whole secretive response from China and the confusion on claiming the outbreak started at a wet market which it didn't is also telling. Unlikely it was intentional.

This is in no way unprecedented but it would be the worst. The US has a has a leak out of Galveston. China had to leaks of SARS out of a lab, in 1 year, earlier this century.

Covid is Nature's response to a pandemic of its own: us!

Actually, lots of world leaders got big popularity bumps for their mediocre-to-good handling of the pandemic, even widely loathed nincompoops like Cuomo. Trump has been so awful, so inert and incompetent and worse than useless, that he's one of the few that suffered a decline in ratings and (rightfully) lost election. So how would that plan work?

(Dastardly laugh in Chinese) "We will unleash a virus upon the world that can only be stopped by basic public health measures! Bwah ha ha ha! But Trump and the gang of fools surrounding him will bungle it so badly that he will fall just 60,000 votes short of re-election! And then...profit!"

Yeah, no, I'm not seeing it.

In that scenario it would not be about Trump but the changing shift form looking the other way and being bullied by China. The US was pushing them into an increasingly tougher spot. You are the one making everything about Trump; Trump pushed the stand up to China, but the rest of the World was slowly going to follow because they are tired of China's tactics as well. It is just a theory, you are the only one whining.

Or none of the above? Why has the media stopped discussing this? Suppose it is biological warfare, with Crispr technology, can't the virus quickly be modified just enough to render any vaccine development moot? Can any old terrorist in a terrorists mom basement be able to do this?

If you can maliciously design and modify such virus, can't you have covid variants affecting us forever?

To say it was not willing developed in China and released against us is pretty naive. Who did Trump's sanctions hurt? Who makes all the PPE's? Who is making all the money from this? Look at all the stuff from the store, "made in China". Go further and who is Biden's son involved with and the Clintons before? A China story will always get shut down.

As far a God. He allowed this for His purposes, and it's looking more like we are nearing the end of the age with a world wide "Beast" empire, that will control all commerce and demand obedience.

I think you are mistaking the news celebrating left-wing leaders capitalizing off of scare tactics as a bump. Cuomo is not up for election yet, he will not last; particularly after he left 1000s more for dead by botching the vaccine roll-out.

Still a wild theory, but every day goes by and you start to think...eeehhhhh....it is looking to close for comfort. Biden's massive relief packages will tank the dollar and cause a shift to crypto to accelerate. I think a huge part of what happens in the future depends on how stiff Senator Manchin's spine is.
