Yes, OP is correct about weaponizing the term. The CIA also does this with other terms, such as its self-reifyting brag about its Red Cells, which no one can verify. Does the FBI have Red Cells, too? Boris Johnson is helping to weaponize COVID-19 mutations in the media, as is anyone else who uses the term, B117.1 to describe COVID-19, because that is not a scientific term, but denotes a collective of 17 mutations, not just one mutation. B117.1 is CIA conspiracy theory turned back against reading prisoners across the world, inevitably causing trouble, as if it came directly from the Red Cell.
