DISINFO: Coronavirus is a US virus that went out of control
SUMMARY
We cannot exclude the hypothesis that coronavirus is an American made virus that has gone out of control and a part of it went back to the US.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory about the 2019-nCoV coronavirus. There is no evidence that suggests that the virus is used as a weapon against other states.
This Coronavirus comes from a family of viruses that include the common cold and viruses such as SARS and MERS, and the medical Journal “Emerging Microbes & Infections” specifically said that there is “no credible evidence supporting claims of the laboratory engineering”.
You can see other examples in our database, such as claims that Bill Gates and George Soros are sponsoring it, that it is a UK, US or NATO creation and that the Americans have its cure, that it is an artificial disease which specifically targets Chinese DNA, that it was created with economic goals while big pharma companies are spreading panic for their own profit, that it is a biological weapon against Russia and China, that it will wipe out Ukraine’s population in a few days or that it was predicted by Nostradamus and others.
