I have a long history of opposing Communist China and have one of my greatest strengths here in Taiwan through friends and business associations. However, but on this one, I have heard nothing credible at all that this was a planned attack upon Beijing on its own people and then spreading to the world.

In fact, there is strong confidence now that the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 epidemic is not a bio-weapon - we know the full genetic sequence of the virus and scientists have compared that sequence with earlier coronavirus viruses that have infected man (SARS and MERS) as well as those that are common in animals found in the region. Based upon these analyses, the scientists concluded that it had little in common with the SARS and MERS virus and was most similar to a virus found in a bat species found in the region. They then concluded that the SARS-CoV-2 was the result of natural mutations rather than a deliberate genetic engineering of a virus that was known prior to infect humans.

So, on your side, can you share your evidence or provide some citations to give credence to your assertion? I am happy to read what you provide.

Your information on the genetic sequencing is WAY behind the times.

There are two different Nobel Laureates in Medicine (Luc Montaigner, who co-discovered HIV, and David Baltimore, former President of Cal Tech) who say it was bioengineered on technical grounds.

Here's a recent article, who quotes Baltimore calling some of this information "a smoking gun."

You say "So, on your side, can you share your evidence or provide some citations to give credence to your assertion? I am happy to read what you provide."

There have been a number of threads on this subject with lots of "evidence", even including scientific reports describing exactly how SARS- CoV was utilized in "gain of function" research inn 2014 and 2015 to produce highly human infective "chimera" viruses extremely similar to the current SARS-CoV-2 virus (under direction of CDC / NIAID, managed by Dr. Anthony Fauci).

I recommend careful reading of this thread, titled

The Case Is Building That COVID-19 Had a Lab Origin

Do you think it’s possible that the virus was initially in a lab, then accidentally got out? I’m not saying it’s artificial, but rather Chinese researchers found it in bats in a distant cave, and brought it to the lab to study, to find out about it, then a accident occurred.
