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. Doesn’t hurt that it’s 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 they’re about to experience due to one-child policies resulting in a high amount of female-specific infanticide. They’re about to have a bunch of old people and a massive shortage of able bodied young people to care for them. Even if they didn’t directly “engineer” the virus in a gene-sequencing manner, they have a lot off motive to just generally cultivate and spread (you can’t really “breed” a virus) an infectious disease targeting people of middle eastern descent and elders.
Thank you for coming to my tinfoil-hat Ted Talk."
Who’s going to tell them that Uyghurs being Muslim doesn’t make them of “middle eastern descent” and that they’re genetically more Central Asian?
The problem with this whole theory is China’s covid response was to lock down harder than any other country. If there was a country who engineered covid to get rid of the elderly and ethnic minorities it would be one whose covid response was basically “If they die, they die.” not one who made sure to keep people safe from the virus as much as possible.
I was still working as a sous chef at the start of the pandemic, I remember our KP, who was a crackhead, smoking some crack on his lunch break and then coming back into where I was working, eyes glazed, telling me that China manufactured COVID to kill all the rich westerners.
Same energy
You’d need something better to do that, diseases disproportionately target marginalized groups because US medical care is for the rich
“not to be a conspiracy theorist or anything but the dastardly Celestials have engineered a blood plague”

Apparently it’s at +101/-5 now
Thanks
Is there an easy way to get them, apart from manually navigating to the post?
