Majority of Russians believe coronavirus is man-made biological weapon
2021-03-02
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Close to two out of three Russians believe that the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
is a man-made biological weapon
...yes, but who do they think made it?
and less than a third are willing to get vaccinated, a poll said Monday.

Observers say the findings reflect a distrust towards authorities fueled by the lack of transparency during the pandemic and deteriorating relations with the West.

According to the survey by the independent Levada Centre, 64 percent of respondents said that COVID-19 was artificially created and is a "new form of biological weapon" while 23 percent believed the virus appeared "without human intervention."
