> least shitty theory

I read about CIA false flags in Cuba. Nordstream didn't blow itself up because the pipe was angry it allowed .de and .ru to engage in commerce.

I guess a rogue western intelligence group bribed or compelled a Chinese lab worker to sabotage something.

"The CIA had been plotting to assassinate Castro since the summer of 1960, even before John Kennedy was elected. A congressional investigation of the CIA later uncovered eight separate plots of varying ridiculousness between 1960 and 1965."

I really doubt this. The pandemic was bad for the whole world, not just China. I'm sure it was an accident.

I agree with this statement, COVID is very likely to be an accident, unless it was created by a mad scientist or aliens, I can't think of any reason to artificially create COVID to harm the interests of China or other countries other than China.

They were making deadly viruses in a lab. It’s like handing out loaded shotguns to school children then claiming anything that happens is an accident.

Bad for whom? Some billionaires reportedly believe in the discredited Malthusian population problem.

I believe in it - not that population itself is a problem but that we have exceeded the carrying capacity of the planet

I don't think it would have been unreasonable for a nation-state to imagine, pre-pandemic, that China would be better equipped to handle such a thing with their lack of individual rights and that it might provide a competitive advantage.
