CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Conspiracy Theories - Bat Theory

Since the first Coronavirus outbreak, there have been countless numbers of conspiracy theories regarding its origin.

The most well known conspiracy is the bat theory.
Its origin comes from Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan.
The seafood market is a half an hour drive from China’s highest security biosafety laboratory, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, only separated by the Yangtze River.
Stressed animals from all over the world are caged closely together, trading unfamiliar diseases in the process.
Humans then handle and butcher these animals.
It comes to no surprise that wet markets have been infamous breeding grounds for disease.
It happened the same way with SARS then again with MERS.
It does not help that virus leaks from laboratories in China have happened before, not to mention that SARS got out at least twice in China.

President Donald Trump has said that he is confident the Wuhan lab was connected to the outbreak, using public White House briefings on the coronavirus crisis to amplify the theory.

Conspiracy Theories - US Military

Another theory that has been circulating around is regarding the importation of Coronavirus into China by the US military.
Spokesperson of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhao Lijian, accused the US of spreading the virus to the city of Wuhan.
Zhao posted a video clip of Robert Redfield, the director of the US Centers of Disease and Control Preventions, telling a congressional hearing about some deaths regarding the coronavirus have been discovered posthumously in the US.
Zhao then tweeted the following, “the U.S. CDC director was caught red-handed. When did patient zero emerge in the U.S.? How many people had he infected? What’s the name of the hospital?”
His comments echoed an already circulating conspiracy in China, that the military personnel had brought the virus into China during their participation of the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan of October 2019.
Some accused the American athletes of being bio-warfare operatives due to their ‘inattentive attitude and disproportionately below average results of American athletes’.
Their place of residence during their stay in Wuhan was also close to the Huanan Seafood Market, where the first known cluster of cases occurred.
