I do recall that, and to be honest, I have purposefully kept my
speculations on this subject mostly to myself at least on this list for
fear of being labelled a conspiracy nut by some around here.

I don't think it was intended as a bioweapon though; if so, it has failed
miserably based on the CFR/likely IFR.  It would make a terrible
bioweapon.   I think it is more likely that it was related to vaccine
research for SARS, and escaped accidentally.  Bret Weinstein, who I have a
great deal of respect for, and is on the left end of the political
spectrum, not the right, has also speculated for months that there is a
high probability that this was modified in a lab.
