Well, maybe it’s not a weapon per se but, rather, a research experiment conducted in a lab that has multiple purposes including weapons. Frankly it seems to dangerous to be a useful weapon and, yet, the Chinese appear to not be suffering anything like the rest of the world. Was it their extreme mitigation measures? Did they have the cure all along? Are they BSing us? One thing is evident, they have emerged as the clear winner in this event.
Ask yourself why the Chinese took a completely different approach in their injected therapy experiment and are not focusing on spike proteins
But did they want us to?

Well, what you call “extreme mitigation” has been a huge success in Australia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and NZ as well as China, so that has had something to do with it.
I’m not saying the price of extreme mitigation would have been worth paying, and I don’t think people in the US or Western Europe would have done it under any circumstances anyway.
But voluntary isolation, voluntary quarantine, and treating all public spaces as if they carried equal risk had enormous cost and zero benefit. It was foolish and wasteful, and the people responsible for our ineffective and harmful policy should be held to account.
Only a totalitarian government like China could pull it off. (Honorable mention: North Korea)
