    Pinning the deaths of five million people to a single country through speculation is dangerous business. Sure, American intelligence is shitty and evil for sitting on their early knowledge of an outbreak, but I do take issue with painting random scientists as nefarious perpetrators and I also take issue with the insinuation that there was an intentional coronavirus release.

    I'm not versed on all of these contents, so I won't ramble on anything. Fort Detrick and American intelligence possessing the means of creating this coronavirus does not translate to also having the motive and intention. It doesn't translate to guilt, it doesn't translate to much at all besides "America knew coronaviruses could be stealthy bioweapons." It doesn't explain why they sat on their ass so much. They never could have fooled themselves into thinking that a virus released to the biggest trade partner of the United States would somehow only remain a problem for China.

    One powerful shitposter on the internet is certainly not going to be key to unraveling any American conspiracy to sicken the world. I'm certain that if this idea had major merits, China would be far more vocal about it beyond their five minute CGTN clips about Detrick.
