Russell Brand guest claims US worked with China to create coronavirus

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.
