I don't really have anywhere else to point this out so I'll do it here. If you have a live-attenuated virus vaccine with aerosol dispersion and you replace the attenuated virus with a lab-enhanced gain-of-function virus selected for human infectivity, what do you have?

You have a bioweapon.

To make an effective bioweapon, just cooking up virus or bacteria or spores isn't enough. You MUST have a reliable delivery system. That's why anthrax was so useful: the spores are dry, airborne and dispersible. With the right technique, they survive a bomb explosion and disperse.

The idea that they were going to actually implement a program to vaccinate bats strikes me as completely absurd and laughable. They were testing bioweapon delivery mechanisms with some 'dual use' CYA language about bats.

I think it's too early to say that the release was a mistake. Maybe it was . . . but the timing of how it helped to take down a sitting president who was sailing to reelection -- and was hated by the deep state -- seems to be just too perfect.
