This is ridiculously deceptive.

Some researchers think that it may have accidentally been released in a medical research lab, and that lab may be one that had received research funding from the US. (Which was withdrawn after their carelessness was revealed.) But there's also significant evidence that it passed from animal to human in the wild, with no further intervention.

I have seen zero credible evidence that it was designed as a bioweapon, under US or any other authority.
