I never understood the racist or xenophobic accusations, like since when was it wrong to question the authority demanding truth and facts.
But then again 2020 was the start of woke culture and everything and everyone has to be politically correct even though whatever you said ended up offending some group.
The vaccines work, however there will always be side effects to significant portion of people when it’s administered to billions of people. Although I find it dumb that young healthy people still get covid booster shots like you have the immunity already and your immune system now knows how to handle the virus

Here's the setting, 1000s are dying in hospitals every day. People know very little about how to protect themselves. The first country that was really hit locked everything down hard to reduce transmission.
Regardless of how you feel, separation and isolation is sure fire to prevent grandma dies via drowning in her own mucus.
But preventing deaths is anti-freedom. We can't prevent the deaths, but we can find someone to blame.
So we blame China because our own public health facilities cannot keep up with the actual virus. It's a human right to infect as many people as possible. It's a human right to have a 7th grade reading level while also telling doctors to "do their research".
Vaccines and quarantine have been selected as a culture war target. It's all over facebook now. Minions are telling your mother only dumb people get vaccines.
Since you can't be mad at a force of nature, you create conspiracies that the dastardly Chinese have released a virus while simultaneously moving mountains to prevent the spread within China.
The smart thing would be to follow the moves of the supposed evil country that wanted to kill americans, by doing what they do to protect their own citizens. Not today commies, they're both at fault for creating a virus, and any attempt at not dying is communism.
The Aristocrats.
It seems like you’re just creating a narrative in your mind to make yourself feel better for veiling the truth.
Accidents happens and results in disasters. China could have been transparent and accepted that it was an accident and they are doing the best they can to contain it. Also they could have shared their research on the virus strain they have been experimenting in the research facility with the world immediately so the vaccine creation would have been faster.
Of course people would have been mad, but that would have ultimately resulted in a much safer and strict Lab safety measures enforcement to prevent a disaster like that in the future and faster vaccination and less number of deaths.
One cannot hide and coverup the truth, ultimately it would come out. One perfect example is Chernobyl. Soviet Union tried their best to keep it secret because admitting the disaster would have made them look weaker, but ultimately the truth came out.
