Interesting you mention this, in the WP series Operation Infektion, one of the disinformation campaigns by the Soviet Union is placing an article in a small newspaper in India, wherein the claim is made HIV was made in a lab in the US.

I was referring to the same claims spread in the West, e.g.:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/16/historys-greates...

"Based on the theories of Dr William Campbell Douglass, many believe that that HIV was genetically engineered"

"William Campbell Douglass, M.D. Education: BS, University of Rochester, New York; MD, University of Miami School of Medicine; Graduate, U.S. Navy School of Aviation and Space Medicine" (1)

"Survey data from the United States (US) and South Africa (the only countries for which quantitative data exists) suggest that a significant minority of people endorse such beliefs and that this matters for public health." (2)

And "we know who" now spreads the disinformation about the COVID-19 virus (I won't intentionally mention him, he has too much fans here).

(Additionally, the biggest stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons were always in the U.S., apparently more of 10% of the chemical weapons are still not destructed.)

Are you referring to President Xi?

I love the (probably unintended, but still funny) insinuation in 'to much fans' that those fans are an amorphous mass and not countable individuals...
