I don't think some of you straight off cynical naysayers have any real clue what it takes to make a bioweapon or even what types there are.
This is a pandemic virus , it's relation to bioweapons is only in it's zoonotic origin . You can't "weaponize " a virus unless you intended to spread it .
Bollocks!

Do you know how small a virus is ?
And then , do you imagine that conventional science might change how a virus behaves short of simply killing it ?
It's a bit like believing in the lunar landings , you just don't justify how f far that thing is away .
Put it this way , if you gathered up a colony of Candida albicans , for example , it'd be white lump you could pick up with your fingers . Now you have some live pathogenic material . The weaponisation part is where you'd apply that to a delivery vehicle , some means of dispensing or dispersing it to intended victims. Don't try that at home folks
You can't genetically engineer a virus , it's too small , but a virus only mutates and infects in the ways that suit itself .

Why were we told in January that it had components of HIV in it?
We were told it was bioengineered with HIV components.
Someone doesn't want to take responsibility for murdering people with their pet lab virus.

Shhhhhh. Why don't you quiet down with your racism and let those initial reports slink in obscurity. Maybe one day it'll return in that thread of disappearing news.

True or false we have to go by evidence. There is zero evidence of that.
PROOF! An Italian News Segment From 2015 PROVES The Chinese Were DEVELOPING The Coronavirus In A Lab
From the Rair Foundation- In 2015, Italian state broadcaster RAI aired Leonardo, a show dedicated to science, which revealed that Chinese scientists had created a pulmonary “supervirus” from bats and mice “for study purposes” that is capable of attacking humans. Salvini and other party leaders are demanding to know if there is a connection with the research featured in the 2015 documentary and the Chinese coronavirus, which has wreaked havoc on Italy. In the scientific documentary, Chinese researchers in a laboratory in Beijing managed to graft a surface protein of a coronavirus found in bats onto a virus that causes SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in mice. It should be noted that SARS was a “114-day epidemic” which “swept 29 countries, affected a reported 8,098 people, [and] left 774 patients dead…” Chinese military surgeon Jiang Yanyong exposed his government’s cover-up of the outbreak that originated in 2002–2003 in the Guangdong Province of China. According to the documentary, the researchers imagined that the hybrid (a “chimera virus”) was suitable for affecting humans, a hypothesis later confirmed by laboratory results. Furthermore, this specific coronavirus was shown to attach itself to our respiratory cells, triggering the syndrome and thus the organism can infect humans “directly from bats without going through an intermediate species, such as the mouse“.
