This is a good documentary, the best one on Covid-19 thus far...

The implications about the origins of covid-19 are quite shocking.

If you don't have time to watch the full doc, then here's the conclusion...

Conclusion:

-The gene makeup of covid-19 suggests that it was modified in a laboratory, it's highly unlikely to have arisen naturally.
-Statements made by certain Chinese officials suggest that the virus accidentally escaped from Wuhan's P4 laboratory, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

"Thus, the high-affinity binding of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to human ACE2 is most likely the result of natural selection on a human or human-like ACE2 that permits another optimal binding solution to arise. This is strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is not the product of purposeful manipulation."

"It is improbable that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through laboratory manipulation of a related SARS-CoV-like coronavirus. As noted above, the RBD of SARS-CoV-2 is optimized for binding to human ACE2 with an efficient solution different from those previously predicted. Furthermore, if genetic manipulation had been performed, one of the several reverse-genetic systems available for betacoronaviruses would probably have been used. However, the genetic data irrefutably show that SARS-CoV-2 is not derived from any previously used virus backbone."

That's also a possibility.
But the first cases of covid-19 in China were not associated with the Wuhan wet market, which the CCP claims was the origin of the virus.

And then we have this...

California may have had covid-19 cases spreading thoughout the state since the fall of 2019.

Hanson said he thinks it is possible COVID-19 has been spreading among Californians since the fall when doctors reported an early flu season in the state. During that same time, California was welcoming as many as 8,000 Chinese nationals daily into our airports. Some of those visitors even arriving on direct flights from Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in China.

Due to California's very low infection and death rates, some scientists have suggested that California might already have herd immunity.
