Topic: Crimson Contagion

A complex thesis suggests that COVID-19 was released to cover up a more deadly H7N9 avian flu outbreak that had been bubbling since 2013. The theory posits that "Operation Warp Speed" and the initial Moderna deal in January 2020 were actually targeting this avian flu rather than COVID-19. Documents related to "Crimson Contagion" are cited as evidence of a pre-planned Department of Defense response to a different viral threat.

Software entrepreneur Ron Unz proposes a theory that COVID-19 was a deliberate American bioweapon attack designed to disrupt the Chinese economy. Unz points to the 2018 and 2019 viral outbreaks in China's poultry and pig populations as precursors to the Wuhan outbreak. He highlights the role of Robert Kadlec and the "Crimson Contagion" exercise conducted in 2019 as circumstantial evidence of a planned national security operation.
