They know this vax protects some people, but it also kills some and makes some others die ... Soon?
So they secretly vaccinated their population in early 2019. (Their citizens are already accustomed to obediently doing whatever government requires.)
At that point they were ready to let the virus out to run through the locals (with minimal impact) and then to the world. In fact they may have only vaxd Wuhan, and planned to lock them down and trap them unless they were headed out to other countries.
Then all they had to do was sit back and control their puppets.
Crazier theory There never was a virus - they just play from every angle to convince you there is one
There was/is a virus, it just isn't virulent. My theory is the Wuhan CRISPR was hacked by the White Hats during the sequencing for the master batch to make it less deadly. There is still a unique vector out there with CGG-CGG (AIDS-related) sequencing in the DNA. This doesn't occur in nature. Fortunately, the SARS-COV-19 really only affects the fat people and those with certain, underlying conditions.
Early on that's where I landed. I could see how they could simply psyop with the seasonal flu. But there are some pretty unique symptoms. Plus the kill pattern appears engineered. Plus, they have clearly been trying to achieve this so the actual existence of an unleashed bio-weapon , crazy as that sounds, actually fits the facts better in my current view.
