Not sure people always want to embrace the this is not a game side of things so i hadn't proposed this theory yet. It definitely plays though.
Btwn the situation with the Professor in Boston and the microbiologist in Canada I think the virus was stolen from by one of them.
What may be harder to believe is that we would get wind of it and let them steal it. Given alternatives and their willingness to do it to us it very well may be a strong message being sent.
It also plays that we would only let them steal a virus we already had a vaccine for. Are we holding the vaccine hostage until the CCP falls in line ?
Other theory is that the CCP stole it and created a vaccine but only desired to use it on their own people so that they could institute martial law and prevent/ get ahead of an uprising born in Hong Kong.
If we are letting each country handle their cleanup in their own way as one anon here has been proposing it'd be very possible Xi let it out to clean out bad actors while people were distracted with other things. Could attribute any death to the virus.
I'm not sure a bio attack is something we would want to carry out on another country. Standiing armies and hypernukes aren't going to protect you from a virus from a bad actor. That said i'm pretty sure i read an article way back that quantum computers make quick work of virus vaccines. Hoping we don't have to worry about this possibility forever. A number of things could be playing out. Strange days.
