| [Business Insider] Former national security advisor Michael Flynn said that he believes the coronavirus pandemic was fabricated to distract from the 2020 election. Flynn, who has become a prominent figure in the QAnon conspiracy theory, falsely claimed in an interview Friday that the virus was made up before November 3 last year "to gain control" of society. "falsely claimed" that's some good Journolisming "When you look around the world, why do all these places not have the problems that we keep getting beat over the head and shoulders on in this country when it comes to Covid?" Flynn said, according to The Independent. "Why? Because everything, everything, and this is my truth, what I believe, everything is a distraction to what happened on November 3," he continued. "Everything we hear about Covid, and how Covid started before November 3, it is all meant to control, it is all meant to gain control of a society to be able to force decisions on society, instead of allowing 'we the people' to make decisions."

| #9 and, providing protective gear for their medical community seems completely uncharacteristic of a regime that likes to plan everything. We had reports here of housewives of Chinese descent and Chinese tourists abroad emptying shops of disposable masks, gowns, and other supplies in America and Australia shortly before news about the situation in Wuhan started spreading, as well as the subsequent Chinese refusal to ship factory orders abroad, reserving all that stuff instead for domestic use even when already paid for. Inasmuch as the Chinese government could provide the supplies for medical care after the unexpected epidemic, they did so. And yes, they did do their best to infect the rest of the world while protecting their own. |

| #8 the PRC did not just lock down Wuhan. They locked down several dozen cities in Hubai province by late January 2020, then a few days later, dozens of cities elsewhere in China had near lockdowns; then they put all kinds of other restrictions into motion; |

| #7 It was created by China in gain of function experiments. It escaped, because of lousy lab safety procedures (Chinese "scientists" are very competitive & tend to ignore anything not serving the goal). Once it escaped, Chinese had two options: contain it, or let it spread. We know that they chose. They closed Wuhan off from the rest of China, but left it open to the rest of the World. They even launched "Hug a Chinese Person" propaganda program. To put it into proper perspective: imagine how the "World Community" would respond if Covid19 originated in Russia. |

| #6 I will acknowledge that the CCP may be evil enough to use the virus for political purposes. However, doing so without: taking any steps to pre position vaccine or therapeutic drugs with their armed forces; planning industrial production modification under lockdown;and, providing protective gear for their medical community seems completely uncharacteristic of a regime that likes to plan everything. |

| #4 OR: 1) it was meant to spread strategically, but 2) got away from them, neither of which has been proven. But the CCP has obviously done their best to obstruct, lie and misinform |

| #3 to believe Flynn you would have to believe the CCP was willing to accept hundreds of thousands of deaths in their own country and a huge hit (about a trillion dollars) to their economy just to avoid a 2nd Trump term |

| #2 Well if it wasn't "fabricated," it was most certainly exploited for political gain. I believe the community term used is... "Cover for action" |
