COVID as being planned makes no sense. So few have anything to gain from doing this. If it was planned by the chinese they would have leapfrogged the west on vaccine development and tried to take all the prestige from it, yet they seem to be either behind or about the same pace on vaccine rollout and they are not getting a big share of the global market vs Pfizer and the other western biotechs. The US wouldn't have done it either because look how bad it has been for us, what an unmitigated disaster. However I do believe various aspects of it were manipulated for practical purposes by different powers that be. I'm almost 100% positive it totally altered the outcome of the US election. I am not a trump fan but i'm pretty confident it was the only factor that derailed his re election, and i think we'd be going into trump term 2 without it
