IF it is true, then this news soothes me. Weaponized diseases are mostly designed for high mortality and limited spread. These pathogens have to be artificially administered / distributed and after doing their job should become harmless after a certain time. Only idiots still believe COVID was something that came from a laboratory. Even geopolitically China cannot be treated as the party that has gained anything from the pandemic.

Source is Daily Express, not great to start. The articles itself never prove the title. This is just more speculation on thing available to public.

Yeah, the single source they're quoting seems pretty credible, but he freely admits he's speculating.

"Connected with?" That seems a bit weak.... Wasn't the incident in a Russian government facility that does secret military biodefense research?
Obviously that doesn't say whether that particular scientist was researching bioweaponry but I'm not sure what is controversial about the claim in and of itself.
It's like saying "Pentagon is connected with secret military R&D" or "Porton Down MoD Biodefence Laboratory connected with MoD biodefence research" Like.. yes, it is "connected" to put it mildly. Who says otherwise?
