Working Theory
Q/allies caused the Wuhan Lab leak before it was finalized, before China vaccinated all of China to leave the rest of the world dead.
Evidence: Chinese vaccine patent application in January of 2020, before they admitted there was an outbreak, before they admitted it was transmissible to humans, and before they stopped Wuhan travel to the rest of China.
ThanQ.

COVID-19, Patents and the Never-Ending Tension between Proprietary Rights and the Protection of Public Health
The Wuhan Institute of Virology’s decision, made in the midst of a rapidly escalating health crisis, to claim rights over an unproven use of the drug was heavily criticised.5 It is worth noting that the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s patent application was filed before scientists started experiments investigating the effectiveness of remdesivir against COVID-19. In effect, the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s first in vitro studies suggesting that both remdesivir and an antimalarial drug called chloroquine could effectively inhibit COVID-19 was published in early February 2020.6 The earliest Phase 3 studies of remdesivir in COVID-19-infected patients started after the publication of that study.7
Given the scale of the COVID-19 pandemic, one would expect a virology institute located at its original epicentre to devote its resources and energy to containing the spread of the underlying virus, or perhaps to researching new therapies and vaccines – not to patenting (supposedly new) uses for drugs it neither developed nor tested. Though legally admissible, the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s decision to seek a patent in this case is ethically questionable and may have a negative impact on China’s public health and medical research cooperation efforts.
