Probably because it was speculative and not based in fact. I dunno. I could be wrong.
Sure it could be engineered bioweapon released on the world. But I wouldn't think the Chinese government would risk it's entire economy for population control or whatever the conspiracy says. More likely, the incredibly deadly SARS Virus came back around as a new mutation. Which is what we have now.
I cannot believe that Chinese Scientists would genetically engineer bat bio weapons to infect their people and the people of the world because it doesn't pass a common sense sniff test. This isn't North Korea or Saudi Arabia, this is the second biggest economy, the second biggest military. What do they have to gain from your conspiracy theory?
This isn’t North Korea...
