That fact that you agree that no one would be able to make a vaccine for it is the reason why they weaponized corona instead.
Because - it’s 100% all about the vaccine before they even unleashed it. And it can’t be too scary or they might get hurt too. So, they use fear and propaganda to get YOU to inject the real killer.

It's simpler than that.
SARS-CoV-2 does not infect bats. It is a human specific virus.
RaGT13, the bat virus most similar to SARS-CoV-2, does not infect humans. It is a bat specific virus.
That is the situation we see right now, after any such zoonosis might have occurred. If we found the virus very early after it crossed species, how could it be that it doesn't infect both species?
For a virus to cross species like that, it has to initially infect both species quite well, for the virus to gain a 'population foothold' in the second species, to mutate from (a process that implies several iterations of evolutionary adaptation in the host species, and also loss of traits that could infect the source species, something that would be more likely on the scale of decades).
Because the primary means of infection has to do with the specific type of ACE2 receptor, and furan bonding method, which is different in bats and humans. They cannot have come from each other, without decades of some intermediary virus from which they must have both descended.
Even gain of function research would require vast populations of the infected to be able to bring off two such species specific trait feats. No lab on Earth is resourced enough to do research on that scale. Even with direct genomic manipulation, specifically directed to weaponize such a virus, it is hardly likely to be possible. And what of the fact that it also doesn't infect bats? Was that engineered as 'loss of function' at the same time? Why would that have been done at all?
What is likely is that the virus already existed in human populations unidentified (perhaps assumed to be 'just another cold or flu') until it acquired a mutation that made it pathogenic. Once we saw numbers of people dying of the same symptoms, we actually looked for the virus at the root cause, and due to technological advances, we found it fairly quickly.

Another explanation. Mother Nature made it. After all, Mother Nature made humans. Why wouldn't Mother Nature be able to make covid-19? Whatever you can think so, I think Mother Nature can come up with. Humans often underestimate the power of Mother Nature, who every once in a while reminds humans who is boss.

It's a bit more complex than that.
Even on the quantum level, you still don't get something from nothing. That's the problem with all these pre-big bang particles being created from quantum fluctuations. You still need forces, and specifically mass, to cause symmetry breaking, and to prevent antihalation of oppositely charged vparticles. No amount of 'nothing' is enough to cause something.
Let's say covid-19. To you humans it is incomprehensible. To Mother Nature it's just another day in the kitchen.
But I comprehend a few things about it. So to us humans it is at least partially comprehensible.
I dunno, the arrogance of some hyperintelligent charged plasma entities, who think we can't think, just because we are made entirely out of meat.

But surely nature is the universe. If there is nothing, there isn't nature, either. What you suggests breaks causality.

This argument is suspiciously similar to the Red Herring logical fallacy.
"I don't think COVID-19 was produced in a lab because it has many aspects that would make it a poor bio-weapon".
Are all biological laboratories producing nothing but bio-weapons?
Is gain of function research exclusively an applied science of bio-weapons?
Seems like a deflection tactic to me.
The incredibly coincidental occurrence of a very virulent pathogen popping up naturally in a wet market, in the shadow of one of China's highest level bio labs, in which it was known to be working with the pathogen, would be a very convenient story for all parties involved in the Wuhan lab research, including both the Chinese and some of their American patrons, among which is Fauci and the CDC.

Viruses are exosomes. When my nose is stuffed by concrete dust from spending all day on construction site, my sinuses in stress release exosomes to get more moisture. If your nasal passages come in contact with my exosomes you may get runny nose without the concrete dust part. If you have runny nose you are probably in contact with people who live in overheated houses with dry air during the winter. Or your micro-climate is mild but I spend most of the day outside bellow freezing. The wrong information is shared as everything else including fecal bacteria. They've found mostly fecal bacteria on shopping carts btw. It's the nature of nature. It's dirty. Growing from dirt, eating dirt, pooping dirt, breathing dirt. Can we stop with the germophobia? It's a leftist business. In my zucking country I have to pay the insurance even when I have no job or anything to eat. That's how they rule the planet by now. #in matriarchy
