The conspiracy theory, a complete fabrication of the right, has been that the Coronavirus is an escaped bioweapon developed in a lab in Wuhan.
A more respectable version is being floated that there was no bioweapon, but the lab was doing some sort of non-weapon virus research and, yes, the virus escaped.
But the idea remains baseless and those floating it are just doing propaganda.
Especially including the Duce.
The consensus, still tentative and subject to correction, is that the virus came from a wet market in Wuhan.
Trump fans flames of Chinese lab coronavirus theory during daily briefing
Donald Trump has fuelled a media theory that the coronavirus pandemic began when the pathogen accidentally escaped a Chinese laboratory, teasing that “more and more we’re hearing the story”.
The US president’s TV network of choice, Fox News, has reported that “multiple sources” in the American government believe initial transmission of the virus was bat-to-human in a virology lab in Wuhan.
Due to weak safety protocols, an infected lab worker then went to a wet market where the virus spread.
