Russell Brand guest claims US worked with China to create coronavirus
What was said
"I had no idea that the US was working with the Chinese on the creation of a virus. They said, "Listen, we're working with the Chinese. We're creating a corona virus.""
In a brief exchange on Stay Free with Russell Brand, an unnamed guest alleges that US actors were “working with the Chinese” to create a coronavirus and develop a vaccine simultaneously. The guest also claims that a Johns Hopkins and Gates Foundation event in 2017 predicted a coronavirus pandemic emerging from China and discussed vaccination strategy, and suggests US officials focused on concealing a lab origin. The programme does not present evidence in this clip and the speaker is not identified in the provided transcript, leaving the claims unverified.
