It is not established, it was a bioweapon. It does not fit as a bioweapon. You did not establish making a profit off a 2009 SARS test. There were quite a few COVID-19 tests by different companies out there and still are. Too many at this stage of the game in my opinion. Everybody that understood or understands the danger, wanted the vaccine. Heck even Trump, who downplayed the seriousness from day one, wanted it. Your point lacks any point, as it is not supported by facts.Does somebody's opinion of what he said matter to me? I saw him talking about it live on Colbert, night before last. I have had a similar viewpoint for many months. He is just funnier than I am. What do you think, sudden wet market bat, lab leak stupidity, or Communist Chinese plot to rule the world?What do you think about the perspective that the article describes?I am not sure anybody really minds that Jon Stewart leans toward a lab leak theory. Not much partisan about the lab leak theory. I and many people in the center especially along with some in center right and left, recognized it as a valid theory almost from the beginning. It is a lot less incredulous than, sudden exposure of a bat coronavirus, from a wet market where people bought wild bat to eat, after safely eating wild bat and pangolin for many years. It ain't a new delicacy over there. Add to that, the virus not showing up in other wet markets around that bat eating country, where eating bats (I guess) is like Chinese soul food, and you have a localization of outbreak that geographically coincides with proximity to the Wuhan lab. It is really not much of a stretch of imagination or probability and in no way akin to the right wing nut ball theory of a biologic weapon purposely released to attack the planet, starting with their own population centers, without a vaccine that would protect their own people. They aren't stupid, just damned communists. Lab leak theory just hinges on the human failing, of make a mistake due to complacency carelessness. Healthcare workers here pick up infections from patients and infections in hospitals by similar carelessness. Again, not much of a stretch of imagination.Great article that highlights the problem that Stewart's shtick presents:
"It’s Not Funny"
"But maybe it shouldn’t. Maybe we should be asking why a clip like this was suddenly allowed to trend on Twitter. Why wasn’t it flagged for misinformation on Facebook or removed from YouTube?
After a Hong Kong virologist said in September that the coronavirus was man-made in a Chinese lab, PolitiFact issued a phony fact-check, saying, “The claim is inaccurate and ridiculous. We rate it Pants on Fire!” — a fact check they were forced to walk back in May.
Not even three months ago, the New York Times and other corporate media outlets slammed the Wuhan lab-leak hypothesis as a “debunked COVID-19 origin theory.” Facebook, meanwhile, was busy censoring posts that entertained the idea that the virus escaped from the Chinese lab.
All this media and Big Tech nonsense continued even after the State Department issued a report in January, when Trump still occupied the White House, that there was evidence COVID-19 started as the result of a Wuhan lab experiment.
Then suddenly it stopped. “In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove claims that COVID-19 is man-made from our apps,” Facebook said on May 26."

Here’s Why The Right Shouldn’t Cheer Jon Stewart’s Lab-Leak Schtick
It's gratifying to watch Jon Stewart legitimize a wrongly dismissed narrative that has always been a probability, but don't miss what it stands for.thefederalist.com
I think you missed the point.
There is no way to use any bio weapon "to rule the world".
But it is easy to use a bio weapon like covid-19 to make billions in profits off a 2009 SARS tests and vaccine no one wanted to buy.
