Is the Coronavirus a hoax to line the pockets of Bill Gates and those who want to make a profit on a vaccine, not as serious as the media makes it and just to make Trump look bad, a virus we need to take seriously, a virus that was created in a Chinese laboratory somewhere on purpose, by accident?

Claim: The coronavirus is a hoax to line the pockets of Bill Gates and those who want to make a profit on a vaccine.

Challenge Question: What is the best evidence of this?

There is really not much evidence of this except that the liberals control a good portion of the Internet and Media however going to Fox News which is a known conservative news source the seriousness when it comes to the number of confirmed Coronavirus cases matches the number of confirmed cases on supposed liberal news sources like CNN and MSNBC which is over 3 million.

Challenge Question: What is the best evidence of this?

Gates’s 2015 speech in which he predicted an infectious virus was more likely to kill millions of people than nuclear war has received 25 million new views in recent weeks, and the Times reports anti-vaxxers, right-wing pundits and members of the conspiracy group QAnon claim the video is evidence he plans to use the pandemic for his personal gain.

Not that much evidence of this but hear/say that he was in Wuhan before the Pandemic occurred but havent found any good evidence of this.

Challenge Question: What is the best evidence of this?

The number of confirmed cases are growing and they are consistently reported among all media sources both liberal and conservative alike.

Number of notable celebrity deaths due to Covid-19 complications.

Number of confirmed cases rise as more and more people are out in public and not properly wearing masks and practicing social distancing.

The WIV has released sequences of bat coronavirus in the months since the epidemic started, giving other scientists insight into the origins of the virus that causes COVID-19. Several of the early virus genome sequences in an open-source international database were submitted by the WIV, which allowed other countries to begin developing diagnostic tools. That willingness to release data, Koblentz said, could be evidence that weights “the scale towards [the WIV] being transparent and cooperative.”

What all of the sources agree about is the extensive cover-up of data and information about COVID-19 orchestrated by the Chinese government.

"What we do know is we know that this virus originated in Wuhan, China. We know there is the Wuhan Institute of Virology just a handful of miles away from where the wet market was. There is still lots to learn. You should know that the United States government is working diligently to figure it out."

U.S. Embassy officials warned in January 2018 about inadequate safety at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab and passed on information about scientists conducting risky research on coronavirus from bats, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

To genetically engineer a new virus, scientists can combine pieces of viruses they’ve seen before. In the case of a genetically engineered coronavirus that was designed to infect humans, the bulk of its genetic material — its “backbone” — would come from SARS or a close relative, while the tools it used to infect cells would be grafted on. But the backbone doesn’t look like any disease-causing virus, and other key parts of the virus are new to science.

A study, published in 2018, of four rural villages in Yunnan province located near caves containing bats known to carry coronaviruses found that 2.7 percent of those surveyed had antibodies for close relatives of SARS. Thousands, if not millions, of people are exposed to wild coronaviruses every year. Most of them aren’t dangerous, but “if you roll the dice enough times,” Goldstein said, you’ll see a bad one.

It’s impossible to totally rule out a lab accident, Rasmussen said, but she worries that unilateral, politically charged investigations will permanently damage international scientific collaboration.

The next pandemic is unlikely to come from a lab, just as Ebola, SARS, Zika and avian flu did not, she said. And the U.S. will be much more vulnerable if our epidemiologists face it alone.

"If someone were seeking to engineer a new coronavirus as a pathogen, they would have constructed it from the backbone of a virus known to cause illness," according to a statement from Scripps.

Rush Limbaugh -- Nobody had ever made it into an invisible, odorless, colorless gas, until it was discovered that the Russians had done it. Well, every nation is working on things like this, and the ChiComs [China] obviously in their lab are doing something here with the coronavirus — and it got out.

But the way it’s being used… I believe the way it’s being weaponized is by virtue of the media, and I think that it is an effort to bring down Trump, and one of the ways it’s being used to do this is to scare the investors, to scare people in business. It’s to scare people into not buying Treasury bills at auctions. It’s to scare people into leaving, cashing out of the stock market — and sure enough, as the show began today, the stock market — the Dow Jones Industrial Average — was down about 900 points, supposedly because of the latest news about the spread of the coronavirus.

It came from a country that Bernie Sanders wants to turn the United States into a mirror image of: Communist China. That’s where it came from. It didn’t come from an American lab. It didn’t escape from an American research lab. It hasn’t been spread by Americans. It starts out in a communist country. Its tentacles spread all across the world in numbers that are not big and not huge, but they’re being reported as just the opposite. Just trying to keep it all in perspective.

People who have claimed it started in a lab cite only the geographical proximity of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a research lab in Wuhan, and the market where some researchers believe the virus transferred from animals to humans.
