    Why is that such a hard thing to believe?

    There is a poster in the current affairs thread that claims the CIA have publicly announced that there is an advanced bioweapons lab in Wuhan.
    They are currently unable to provide a source for that information but perhaps this thread will give them that operinity.

    So the actual conspiracy is to spread conspiracy theories. Meta conspiracy theory.

    Some of the CT I've seen:
    Bill Gates did it to reduce the human population
    China developed it as a weapon and released it by accident
    China developed it as a weapon and released it deliberately. (Dunno why?)
    The CIA did it. Economic war on China.

    One thing that will probably happen is that it will be weaponized. Malign actors such as terrorists will seek to spread it among their perceived enemies, and it will be difficult to police against that.

    I could eat dinosaur sh1t marinated in leper’s plss and not infect the rest of ye with anything!

    There is a bioweapon lab in Wuhan and while it may not have been intentional I guess this is their equivalent of a leak at Ringsend!

    Why won't China let other countries top specialists to help with the virus?

    I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying that viruses can't be transferred from animals to humans?

    How do you know there was a bioweapon lab there?

    You don't even know there's that's where the SARS originally came from too?

    It's whatever the conspiracy community can dream up. And they can imagine a lot.

    They’re not very good at developing bio-weapons, the regular flu is way ahead of them.

    There’s been allot of talk about a Chinese National, a bioscience expert who was working in the Canadian national lab and also working in Wuhan to set up a bio lab there.

    She and all her team were expelled from Canada for some irregularities.

    There was allot of talk in the beginning that this is the source and they were working on this sort of virus there, but I’ve read nothing about that idea recently.

    Rather than eating animals, it’s being close and close for long periods that often causes virus to spread to new hosts. Animal markets therefore would be a good potential breeding ground.

    Some Harvard scientist can arrested. For espionage.

    It sure would be an ideal time to roll out a global VAX if COVID mutates, they've been loosing popularity in recent times (MMR etc), so this would push them back in the limelight.
    BillGates would likely be able to throw a few hundred million behind a fast global vax rollout, before the end of the year.

    Question. Take the risk of a flu, or take the risk of a new (rushed vax), backed/financed by Gates?

    Why would Bill Gates finance a new vaccine?

    Is this a genuine question?

    The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced Jan 26th that it is immediately committing $10 million in efforts to contain the global spread of 2019-nCoV. This was increased to $100m in February for the renamed COVID19.

    Of the total, $60 million will fund diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines development. Already has paid CEPI towards previous vaccines (Ebola).
    He is also connected to the Pirbright Insitute, which worked on gene editing infectious bronchitis virus (IBV).

    He previously stated any vaccine for a 'Pandemic X' would take up to 5yrs, so if he can rush one out quickly, will be seen as a hero.

    For better (or worse) he will be involved.

    He's always spouting on about apocalyptic catastrophe.

    Must be some money in it if that's the case with all his investment.

    Alannis Morrisette could write a song about that.

    From the Ebola conspiracy theory dungeon. Conspiracy theories are little more than blank templates, insert latest disease and you’re an expert.

    Maybe Bill will come out with a double whammy, SARS and Corona.
    It didn't wipe out humanity either, so Bill gates isn't very good ant his depopulation agenda, is he?

    Who said any thing about depopulating?

    Isn't finding vaccination the opposite?

    How does your brain perceive anything?

    Bill Gates is the tin foiler bogey man for human depopulation.

    So what's the real conspiracy now? An attempt to counteract anti vaxers, testing bio-weapons, accidental release from a lab

    Who'd buy his stupid products then to keep him filthy rich?

    If there's coin to be made in vaccination he'd be right in there from all his investments.
