1. whether it was created through natural mutation and selection or was it created through gene editing?
2. Was it realeased accidentally or intentionally?
3. Once it was out of the lab, did the communist Chinese government intentionally spread it worldwide so everyone would be affected rather than sealing their own borders and taking the economic damage themselves solely?
My belief is 1. I really don't know, 2. Accidental because it would have happened elsewhere if intentional and they would have codeveloped a vaccine for themselves and 3. they intentionally spread it internationally once they knew it was out. But those are my current opinions and could change with more evudence.
1. I really don't know,
None of us mere mortals do, and those of our "betters" who do know, are working as if their very lives depend on us never really knowing.
2. Accidental because it would have happened elsewhere if intentional and they would have codeveloped a vaccine for themselves and
The release was premature, the release was not a deliberate act by the lab or the Chinese government, for the reasons you listed. One can be certain they they were working on a vaccine.
I cannot rule out that the release was deliberate, one scenario is a disgruntled employee 'getting back at' her boss who used and dumped her, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but I agree it was probably an accidental release.
3. they intentionally spread it internationally once they knew it was out.
Travel from Wuhan to anywhere else within China was forbidden, at the same time travel from Wuhan to anywhere else on earth was permitted and encouraged. That sure sounds intentional, deliberate, and malicious.
But those are my current opinions and could change with more evidence.
Evidence means a shootin' war with a country that has a lot of surplus military age males (thanks to the one child policy and a strong cultural bias against girls), a huge industrial base, a very robust network of spies and saboteurs, and nuclear weapons.
We're not likely to get evidence from the wholly Chinese owned biden administration...
