It's probably that.
Now the accusation of it being a "bioweapon program" parading as "vaccine research program", is an opinion, it's not something that can be proven, yet
Why would they do it in china? Whether it's a "bioweapon program" or a "vaccine research program". In both cases it doesn't make much sense, since the US wouldn't be the sole beneficiary, and could do such researches at home in better facilites
What's the point of making it in china
King Nigger made an EO banning all "gain of function" research in the U.S. back in 2014 so in order to get his payday Fauchi had to outsource his project to China and the CCP. If it turns out that this actually is Military research it would make the adorable mr. Fauchi a traitor the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Rosenburgs sold the secret of the Bomb to the Soviets.
