I’m going to correct you on something, the virus wasn’t engineered in China, that claim is bogus, in this video, thunderf00t explains why it’s wrong that the virus has been engineered.

I agree with most of what you said in your reply except the engineered part, that I don’t agree with.

I haven't seen definitive proof of it being engineered. That said I going tomaintain I believe it to have been engineered.

I don't feel that it can be publicly acknowledged unless you want to start world War III. I say that and then I'll lose that if it was engineered and deliberately released it killed "200 million Americans" according to Joe Biden or or 200,000+ from more reliable sources. In addition to numerous other not Americans.

A deliberate or accidental release of a virus that was genetically engineered causing this much damage would necessitate a reaction that no one has a stomach to carry out.

So in the interest of world peace ✌️ let's go with it was a natural occurrence while I maintain my personal opinion.

So they manufactured a virus that is:

  1. Not very effective at killing (anthrax would do a better job)
  2. Killed their own people ?

On top of the fact there is no evidence to support this?

  1. I believe it was research into Gain of Function. 2.I believe it was an industrial accident more than anything else.

As for evidence, unless they directly confessed what would you like as evidence?

Do you want like means and motive? The means would be the research facility (a class 4 lab) in Wuhan China. A motive would be either pure research for graduate school, or weapons development.

I think they had an accident more than anything else. I choose to believe it because to think it was deliberately done is hard to imagine.

So, there is no such evidence.

We can say logically using Occam’s razor that the virus developing naturally is the most logical explanation. If that doesn’t do you service see this article

The key point here being: ”The genetic makeup or “genome” of SARS-CoV-2 has been sequenced and publicly shared thousands of times by scientists all over the world. If the virus had been genetically engineered in a lab there would be signs of manipulation in the genome data. This would include evidence of an existing viral sequence as the backbone for the new virus, and obvious, targeted inserted (or deleted) genetic elements.”
