How entitled do you have to be to freely expose this kind of theory on a post about consipary theories?
Original comment:
"I once heard of a pediatrician who successfully convinced a concerned mother that anti-vax ideology was likely a psyop by the Russians to weaken the health of the American populace starting with our children. Doesnโt hurt that itโs probably true.
EDIT: My personal conspiracy theory is that the Chinese government did engineer (or at least selectively cultivate) COVID, but not to kill Americans. In the early days of the pandemic there was some speculation that it affected some blood types more than others, particularly type A. While no link to blood type specifically was found, type A is a more common genetic trait as you move out of Asia and towards the middle east. China has been heavily persecuting the Uyghurs (Chinese Muslims), and those who have managed to get out of the camps have reported medical experimentation and being injected with unknown substances. In addition, the virus would also kill a significant number of the older population, which is important because of the population crunch theyโre about to experience due to one-child policies resulting in a high amount of female-specific infanticide. Theyโre about to have a bunch of old people and a massive shortage of able bodied young people to care for them. Even if they didnโt directly โengineerโ the virus in a gene-sequencing manner, they have a lot off motive to just generally cultivate and spread (you canโt really โbreedโ a virus) an infectious disease targeting people of middle eastern descent and elders.
Thank you for coming to my tinfoil-hat Ted Talk."
