There is no evidence that this was released intentionally. I do know this, however:
The doctor who reported it has since passed. He was forced to sign a form stating he was basically lying.
The economies of the world have been hurt and free market, capitalist America has lost the most, on top of, a bigger appeal to socialism to help businesses and citizens deal with the fall out.
This happened months before a general election in the U.S and threatens Trumps ability to hold rallies and put Biden in the spotlight.
China did not share information about the speed in which this virus spread. They had W.H.O play the patsy and back their Communist pals. They openly created a conspiracy that it was the U.S that created this, and, threatened to withhold medicine and other vital products to harm America.
They've since stated they need to profit off of the hurt U.S industries.
All of this suggests that China intends, and possibly intended to profit from this outbreak. So at the very least, their reckless actions were designed to benefit them the most, while hurting America the most. To this day you have Western leaders and MSM exposed for their lack of curiousity and straight talk about Chinas role in all of this.
I'm not sure I've ever been more concerned about the ability for the Wests ideals of liberty and capitalism to survive long term than I am now. I saw it happening in Canada, and experienced some of it first hand. I'm seeing it employed in far more places today.
The absolute control a foreign Communist state seems to wield over the West is staggering. From Yes Men in the NBA, to media and politicians defending them, to some wanting to alter history to protect facts. It's beyond astonishing, its frightening. This isn't Fox News talking, I had my worries about the Communist Government of China well before I started watching their network. Trump needs four more years for this most pressing issue alone.
While the West is preoccupied with political correctness, identity politics, defending foreign citizens, businesses and government, including global socialism, China has their eye on the big prize. They want to replace America as the global leader. If and when they succeed, life will be drastically altered for all the world.
Just look how quickly leaders and media get in line for China now. How do you think it will be if they have no nation standing in their way? I grew up in a time when Communist Russia was the enemy, China wasn't even a concern. How times have changed...yet, the same ideology persists with far more passive and active supporters around the world.
