The Xi Jinping Flu pandemic was effectively a Chinese Communist Party biological warfare attack on the world. Even if it wasn't intended, that says nothing about the next time.
The Chinese Wuhan Institute of Virology lab leak theory for the Xi Jinping Flu pandemic outbreak is looking more possible and less like a Republican "conspiracy theory" (as the CCP-friendly media line told us for so long) every day. Tip to Instapundit.
I never thought the COVID-19 pandemic was a deliberate CCP attack on the world. But early on I wondered how it would look different if it was a deliberate attack. And as I started out in that post, "How ruthless are the Chinese Communist Party rulers? And does that mean the world need to monitor disease eruption and spread within China much more intensively, whether China's rulers cooperate or not?"
China didn't intend to attack us. But they allowed and may have caused the pandemic to avoid being the only ones harmed by this. And they've learned that a virus like this can throw the West into chaos. The CCP seems to think they gained some ground because of this.
Have no doubt that the bastards running China in Peking will think they could do this on purpose in the future. And perhaps with a little more virus engineering and protective measures at home, the CCP may think it can do even better.
Given China's growing demographic problem of paying for an aging society, maybe the disproportionate impact of the Xi Jinping Flu on old people will be a deliberate feature of bio warfare waged on their own people.
And America may have helped fund the virus research that went wild. It must be bad for the wrong people if the Democrats are unwilling to explore coronavirus research that took place during the Trump administration. We'll see. I hope.
Our federal government is way too big to keep track of in any meaningful way, isn't it? And our media can't be trusted to report honestly.
Also, where do the pangolins and bats go to get their reputations back?
UPDATE: This does not instinctively strike me as wrong:
A bombshell study that is poised to be published claims to have proof that Chinese scientists bioengineered the coronavirus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the analysis also shows that the Chinese researchers tried to reverse-engineer versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats.
Also, the study authors were ignored over the last year. Probably because it might have supported the Orange Bad Man, eh? Science! Tip to Instapundit.
UPDATE: Related thoughts:
Mounting evidence strongly indicates the COVID-19/Wuhan virus escaped from a lab in the Chinese city of Wuhan in November 2019.
An accidental or premeditated release? The motive matters.
However, this chain of events is certain: The initial incident caused the disease to spread throughout China. The embarrassed Chinese Communist Party regime failed to alert the world and thus failed to provide life-saving information. That self-serving decision exported the disease to the rest of the planet. In effect, the CCP used the virus as a biological and economic weapon to cripple other nations and make certain China didn't suffer alone.
We will find out more. Despite China's strenuous efforts to hide and deflect the causes of this Xi Jinping Flu pandemic.
