well, that's been suggested and maybe even tried. if they can just make an air borne virus that attacks people with a certain genetic ancestry, then they could target only chinese people or whoever was your enemy du jour.
there were papers early on about how this virus attacked ACE2 receptors, and the variantion of ACE2 receptor expression by race/ethnicity made some groups more vulnerable than others. I'm not saying it's eugenics, but don't discount the possibility that things are engineered to harm some more than others. That said, ACE2 isn't the only pathway for infection, maybe just primary in the original/wild strain
Yes! And I had a sneaking suspicion that it was a plan to ruin Trump's presidency! He was actually making America great again! Couldn't let that happen.
Wouldn't that be something? If "scientists" could make a virus more deadly in some races but not others! Racist virus!

isn't that sick?
So evil!

This world is going to shit! Nothing surprises me anymore!
100% agree. I barely learned anything new during this pandemic, I was just happy to have more company in reality ;-)
