Bannon writes about Covid: "you could argue that the CCP felt that Trump would be too powerful in a second term, so they concocted it and released it". Such an hypothesis would be plausible if the CCP had developed a vaccine and vaccinated their population. But purposely releasing a virus in the absence of such preparation would make no sense because the Chinese were as devastated by the virus as much as Americans were.

It is far more likely that the Wuhan lab was just sloppy in their coronavirus work, and someone in the lab got infected and spread Covid around the city. It is still not clear whether the virus was one that was collected in some cave and brought to the lab, or a genetically engineered "gain of function" variant, a product of research that the Wuhan lab had proposed beforehand.
