"I think if I'd been involved in, and making bank off, doing biological/bioweapon experimentation with the CCP, which then spilled over into a global pandemic, I'd probably prefer it if everyone believed it came from animals?"

Yes, that is what they tried to tell everyone to begin with, but there was no evidence provided to support the hypothesis. I initially believed it.

"And would be keen to promulgate a false narrative that all the experts agreed this was true?"

The "experts" did in fact repeat this as fact, even though no direct evidence was provided. And by experts I mean those in the mainstream who toed the line and repeated all of pharmas talking points. That's why this theory is generally no longer accepted.

"Cover up can be for incompetence and corruption."

Yes, which is in itself what fits the definition of a conspiracy. They openly lied about GoF research. That is evidence for corruption, and why they have gone after Daszak and co.

The bigger issues which points to a larger conspiracy at play is the fact that the shots are contaminated with junk DNA, they never had any mechanistic hope in hell to cross the lung barrier and therefore treat anything, the trials were unblinded early on, they attempted to obfuscate the data for 70 years, and people were told they were safe without question and then coerced into taking them.

The only outstanding factor of direct evidence for a bioweapon is confirmation that the junk DNA integrates into the human genome. That isn't the only risk though, there is the clotting for which a good hypothesis exists - the more shots, the more likely one is to develop clots.

I can accept incompetence from doctors and nurses, such as Campbell who ill-advised people early on, but not from the people directly involved in the creation of this.
