Question for anons: If the virus apparently causing "COVID-19" illnesses originated in a Chinese lab, then is it possible that our annual "flu outbreaks" have also been caused by Chinese lab viruses?

Is this a marketing opportunity for vaccines? China seems a leader in pharmaceuticals, perhaps making people sick with artificially created viruses is also an opportunity to sell products to "prevent" illness.

I have been looking at the European mortality monitoring site Euromomo.eu. Many European countries don't seem to have significant annual increases in deaths over the fall and winter. It could be population demographics, but I wonder if it is related to which countries have a greater pharmaceutical company presence and pressure (especially among older people) to get annual flu and pneumonia shots. Those shots, ironically, may be increasing coronavirus susceptibility.
