I don't believe this because it's just simply not a very good bioweapon.
It's also not what the article says, the quote from the researcher:
Researcher Chao Shao said during an interview with reporter and activist Jennifer Zeng this week that his fellow lab researchers were given different strains of coronaviruses and asked to determine which is most effective for spreading across various species.
Chao Shao suspected that these actions were unrelated to virology research and suggested that they were potentially involved in spreading the virus.
Bioweapons that persist long enough to return to it's point of origin fail the basic task of any weapon. Don't harm the user.
It always seemed like an experiment that got out to me. Not a bioweapon as in we identified a target and are eliminating it. COVID is no good at that. But a bioweapon as in something they were studying as a vector for more insidious DNA. That makes perfect sense. And it could very well be they decided to conduct this experiment large scale. There wasn't any punishment that I know for China releasing this.
IIRC from the leaked documents, they were trying to inoculate bats by giving them human respiratory viruses to reduce bats as a zoonotic reservoir of respiratory diseases.
We don't need to speculate, they wrote project goals. The Ecohealth alliance was the company that was running it.
