One aspect of this...they (the science-crowd and investors) could have done all of this without the top leadership of China grasping what was going on, and the strategy being...you invent the virus and the vax at the same time...making billions off the situation.

Absolutely they planned to profit from it. However, it’s a modern biological laboratory, so getting the Virus out isn’t easy. Further, it’s China, so if you do something like that they aren’t just going to go after you...they are going to make your family disappear. Then your significant other ends up on display in an multinational anatomy exhibit. Nope, the virus was first characterized in North Carolina, then it was moved to Wuhan, all for ‘enhancement’. The release from that type of facility would be gross incompetence despite safeguards or deliberate. If it was incompetence, or an inside job, the Communists would have locked everything down-especially worldwide travel- to cover it up.
What we know is that the government of China was sequestering PPE and allowed people to fly to foreign nations after they knew it was a problem. That’s not damage control or ‘saving face’.
