I'm saying that "This is a Chinese bioweapon" and "This is an engineered virus that escaped a lab and then the Chinese decided to use it to cause as much damage as possible once they realized they couldn't contain it" are two distinctly different statements and anyone trying to conflate the two is either stupid or intentionally dishonest.
Ah, I understand, you're trying to make the point that "That hammer that China used to cave in the guy's skull wasn't designed to be a weapon."
That's an utterly worthless distinction. See original post.
BTW engineering viruses for gain-of-function is completely indistinguishable from creating a bioweapon; they are literally exactly the same thing except using different words. So your point is even more pointless.
