I'll add that -- for whatever it's worth -- while I believe the covid strain to be the result of lab experimentation, i'm agnostic, at the moment, about whether the leak was an accident or intentional.
It may well be this was all planned years in advance, timed in part for advances allowing internet connections to be fast and efficient enough to allow for white-collar work remotely, while also permitting smaller/supply chain business to be absorbed by/sold to larger entities, or otherwise die on the vine (in turn leading to long-term unemployed masses highly reliant on govt handouts, opening the door for eventual UBI and other Great Reset-esque initiatives, etc)
If it was an accidental leak, no doubt power structures capitalized and improvised/refined their approach as months went by.
If it was purposeful from the start, it explains the efficiency of conditioning and psychological tactics inflicted at a wide scale from the onset, not to mention the READY TO DEPLOY marketing/propaganda campaigns that looked polished and crisp within the first ~month of this 'pandemic'.
One can argue, however, that these tactics have been fine-tuned for years, waiting for the right set of circumstances to be unleashed, intentionally or not.
Still, right now, as of May 2021, all things considered, my vote is this was no 'accident'.
Trying to understand this scenario/argument, how does vaccine fit in to this hypothetical scenario for you?

Oh right. Remember that. Fucked up.
It's almost always the easy targets who do the risky stories, though. They've already lost their status, so there's a freedom in it.
In some cases it's more like they're providing inoculation against a real story being taken seriously, isn't it? Not with this story, I don't think. But we can name certain tireless parties whose job seems to be to always be first on the scene of a breaking phenomenon to get the details wrong, hype false or dumb angles, spin it for a party-line rendering, use it for their own schtick, divert blame and attention to their favorite target, trash any chance a story will be taken seriously once it's associated with the likes of them, etc. (Used to be Alex Jones...)But I find it fucking amazing that some of the revelations herein are so little known and that so many useful idiots thought they were taking Trump to task by abandoning their critical, scientific, professional minds.
Years of corporate media activity in a nutshell -- #Russiagate, panic over the threat of a peace deal in Korea, talk of covfefe and being "orange" rather than moves toward actual fascism, the Ukrainian impeachment strategy, slam him not for being even more neoliberal than the last couple but for being 'populist', etc. In truth most of this was enabling Trump. Whatever they thought they were doing, corporate media were serving as adjuncts to a reelection that would have been assured if not for Covid and the 2020 depression.

It's pretty funny that you keep using that half-word, 'meta.' Meta is resharing reshared reshares of social media, the box inside the box in side the box, like dead matrushka dolls in coffins. Talking about what other people are talking about, what other people are talking about. Each box becomes another minus 1. If I'm writing about writing, or thinking about thinking, that is just normal thinking, plus 1. It only looks odd to you, because you have forgotten what real, active and lucid writing and thinking looks like.
And if you confine yourself to writing about yourself writing about yourself writing about writing and thinking about thinking, there's the added bonus of meta-narcissism.
