You’re not thinking of Joe Rogan as the banned podcaster, are you?
No, it wasn’t him.
The more I think about it, I think it was George Webb who IS a real conspiracy theorist nut masquerading as a journalist.
And now that the brain fog is clearing, 2 Diet Pepsi down, actually he really was running with theory that this US military cyclist took the virus to Wuhan.
On 12 March 2020, two spokesmen for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhao Lijian and Geng Shuang, alleged at a press conference that Western powers may have “bio-engineered” the coronavirus. They were alluding that the US Army created and spread COVID-19, allegedly during the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan, where numerous cases of influenza-like illness were reported.[93][94]
A member of the U.S. military athletics delegation based at Fort Belvoir, who competed in the 50mi Road Race at the Wuhan games, became the subject of online targeting by netizens accusing her of being “patient zero” of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, and was later interviewed by CNN, to clear her name from the “false accusations in starting the pandemic”.[95]
In January 2021, Hua Chunying renewed the conspiracy theory from Lijian and Shuang that the SARS-CoV-2 virus originating in the United States at the U.S. biological weapons lab Fort Detrick. This conspiracy theory quickly went trending on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, and Chunying continued to cite evidence on Twitter, while asking the government of the United States to open up Fort Detrick for further investigation to determine if it is the source of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.[96][97]
