Brazil’s President Suggests CCP Virus Created to Wage ‘Biological Warfare’
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro floated the idea that the CCP virus may have been a lab product created to carry out “biological warfare.”
“It’s a new virus. Nobody knows whether it was born in a laboratory or because a human ate some animal they shouldn’t have,” he said in a speech on May 5.
“But the military knows all about chemical, biological and radiological warfare. Could we be fighting a new war? I wonder. Which country’s GDP has grown the most?”
Bolsonaro, a frequent China critic, did not name any specific countries in his comments. But China was the only major world economy that saw any economic growth during 2020 as other industrial powers struggled with lockdowns and virus resurgence.
