Where did this virus come from? Labs worldwide have been weaponizing viruses for decades.

If COVID-19 was engineered deliberately—and there's no rational grounds for laughing off Dr. Luc 

Montagner's finding that it was—then we must face the chilling likelihood that it, or something like 

it, can be deployed at any time, to re-terrorize the edgy masses, and "prove" that it was "too soon" 

to re-open the economy. 

Terror makes people stupid, and therefore incapable of wondering if that recurrence might not be

a natural "second wave," but a deliberate means of driving us all back into their homes, desperate 

for instructions (orders) from on high—and for that all-important vaccination.

Did this virus come from a lab? Maybe not — but it exposes the threat of a biowarfare arms race

Dangerous pathogens are captured in the wild and made deadlier in government biowarfare labs. Did that happen here?

There has been no scientific finding that the novel coronavirus was bioengineered, but its origins are not entirely clear. Deadly pathogens discovered in the wild are sometimes studied in labs — and sometimes made more dangerous. That possibility, and other plausible scenarios, have been incorrectly dismissed in remarks by some scientists and  government officials, and in the coverage of most major media outlets.

Regardless of the source of this pandemic, there is considerable documentation that a global biological arms race going on outside of public view could produce even more deadly pandemics in the future.

While much of the media and political establishment have minimized the threat from such lab work, some hawks on the American right like Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., have singled out Chinese biodefense researchers as uniquely dangerous. 

But there is every indication that U.S. lab work is every bit as threatening as that in Chinese labs. American labs also operate in secret, and are also known to be accident-prone.

The current dynamics of the biological arms race have been driven by U.S. government decisions that extend back decades. In December 2009, Reuters reported that the Obama administration was refusing even to negotiate the possible monitoring of biological weapons.
