How can the Wuhan virus suddenly become "the American virus"? Here is a good example of Chinese trickery and propaganda. All of a sudden people stopped saying "Chinese virus" and "Wuhan virus" and switched to COVID-19. And now it has suddenly become the "American virus" and China is "innocent"!
Let's not forget that China deliberately suppressed the truth about everything that was happening in China since August, 2019, and then coached the world to follows China's protocols so that the truth would never come out. And to top it off, the stupid Western leaders actually paid China millions to provide masks (many defective) and other medical equipment, instead of demanding reparations from China!
"A surge in hospital visits and internet searches related to COVID-19 symptoms from the Chinese city of Wuhan suggests the coronavirus may have been circulating since August 2019, according to a preliminary study by researchers at Boston University and Harvard."

When word leaked out that it was the Wuhan Institute of Virology which had released the Wuhan virus (according to a Chinese virologist who escaped from China), then China quickly put out
a bogus report that the virus originated in the wet markets of Wuhan.
And since all the Western mainstream media and WHO were in China's pockets, they all began to speak of a "conspiracy theory" about the origin of the virus so that they could protect China and blame someone else. Of course Xi Jinping and his gang of thugs were simply laughing at the *stupid Gwailo*! But the truth has come out regarding the gain-of-function research done by Chinese virologists with American cash. That is how it became the "American virus".
