I do not object to that characterization.
Would the term “biological agent” make you happy?
I realize the term “bioweapon” generally is used in the context of armed military warfare where a biological agent is released on the opposing army, with disregard to spreading into civilian populations. This is why they are never/rarely used.
I think people simply mean this is an engineered biological agent that was intentionally weaponized by the Chinese. If you weaponize a biological agent and release it upon a world, I don’t find it a stretch to call it a “bioweapon”. It may not be as deadly as something designed to promptly kill enemy soldiers but if it is a weaponized biological agent and is intentionally released on populations for the purpose of economic warfare, I would consider that a subclass of “bioweapon”. Not military, but still a “bioweapon”.
I do get your point. We get sloppy and crass with our language and then real meanings become muddied. By and large biological warfare is unthinkable because biological agents are generally devastating in impact, even on those who release it eventually. That this biological agent has a low casualty rate, makes it different than what we think of as military grade biological warfare. I get it.
You are making a good and logical valid point. It will be interesting to see how all this will play out over time. In the mean time politicians and control freaks as well as pharmaceuticals are making as much hay from it as they can.
It's possible it was "not ready for prime-time" - maybe it escaped before it was made deadlier?
Quite possible. It could also be the first penetrator that opens the door for successive attacks, like computer malware.
THE VACCINATED ARE ALL “TYPHOID MARY”!!!
They spread it like wildfire by not knowing they’re sick.
Symptom suppression being the primary effect of the jabs.

Absolutely.
If you have a specific article you could link to that outlines this for non-scientific types, I would appreciate it...Was talking (debating) with a family member about this yesterday!
Could be asymptomatic and shedding virus...etc...They did not believe me...Sigh!
If this were a “bioweapon” we would not need massive amounts of propaganda to create fear and compliance in the public.
I agree. What were the numbers from the “Spanish Flu” outbreak a century ago? That caused mass graves; not enough healthy people around at a time to handle digging individual graves.
The doctors in Vietnam noticed the blood coagulation in multiple organs (from the toxic spikes) LAST YEAR!
I don’t trust Mike Adams. I’m not discrediting the interview at all. I’ve been following Adams for at least 15 years. Just gotta take what he says about some things with a grain of salt. I do like Merritt.
Agree. I have been following Dr David McCullough and he has been very good. And Kory and Zelenko also.
McCullough has suggested that the “load” will come with boosters. Tenpenny says it could come with flu vax.
You are correct, we have no truth anymore.

It’s a sound conclusion that everyone seems to have an ax to grind. It’s a sad and lonely thought that ultimately you only have yourself to trust on the most complicated of subjects. It requires that you become as informed as you possibly can on the subject, then retreat in quiet contemplation and prayer, and finally listen closely for God’s wisdom and direction. If time permits, I always sleep on it.
No, the people here who are using language that exaggerates the threat that this pathogen poses to healthy people are the ones doing the bidding of the left. The chaos is from the propaganda and inappropriate responses that are a blatant power grab.
Chem HazMat here, but we had some cross training.
If it is a bio weapon, it sucks.

Yes, and most people with most prevalent “variant” currently going around don’t even know that they have it. Take the Texas “delegation as an example.
I read an excellent article describing how, once you are jiggering the virus strands, you can choose exactly how effective you want to make it.
War planners know the current level of death will cause economic destruction but not kinetic war.
10% death is easily achievable, but war games out to assured kinetic war.
So this is probably just one of several levels of virus the commies had on hand.
We dodged a big bullet.
So you think this was an inadvertent release?
They could have very easily sent it abroad and froze entry into their country.
As it is they're struggling with this thing, too.
