What is the best way to spread a hostile virus?
Judgmentalism aside, Pfizer seems keen on promoting Viagra, and what better way to effect non-aerosol disease transmission than sexual contact (especially between multiple partners). Don't see Pfizer/Viagra sponsoring Senior Citizen parades. Where are the bulk of Viagra sales? Old folks? Married couples? (of any orientation). Promiscuous sex-bingers/tourists (of any orientation). That would be an interesting breakdown.
Hang with me for a bit,
Maybe AIDS was generated back in the 70's as a population control mechanism? COVID certainly spread pathogens far and wide, and the downstream effects (cardiomyopathy in particular) of the vaccines may be worse than (most of the variants) of the disease.
Maybe the Chinese balloon event was not only to penetrate US airspace, but put a balloon launched in China over a very specific target from thousands of miles away.
Imagine them launching thousands of pathogen-laden balloons. Do we even have the inventory of high-altitude capable weapons to defeat? Shouldn't be too much of a task to encapsulate any pathogens in UV-resistant coatings to survive the drop from 60k+ feet.
What if China launches balloons with legit WMD's (maybe they'll call it pestícides for their farmlands all over the US). Would we retaliate? With what? Nukes? China probably has as many nukes as we have, if not more. Do we have any China nuke inspection agreements? Who mass-produces stuff better than China?
So China, thanks to COVID)Fauci develops a race-specific pathogen (i.e.everyone but Han Chinese), and spreads it all over the planet via balloon. We'd be to busy trying to develop new vaccines (thanks Pfizer!) to save our brilliant leaders than nuke the sob's that created it. Because they have lots of nukes they'd use.
Not sure where this train if thought goes, but none of it is too rosey an outlook.
Any coherent thoughts out of any of this? Is it too early to start drinking heavily?

Considering Wuhan created the 21st century scourge, the very idea we can let a potential pathogen payload-carrying balloon cheerfully cruise across the country unchallenged is criminal at best.
There's an old story from Ken Alibek (former Russian biowar scientist) on how he would conduct war and it was simply to disperse microfine disease particulates in the atmosphere of the targeted country.
Putting them over sensitive sites could well be a cover, while we think it's surveiling sensitive targets, it's simply spreading something across the country.
I hope like hell we have whatever air-sampling equipment in inventory following that balloon every step of the way across the country. I think we had particulate samplers for nuke-sniffers, although I'm not sure if they were just spot samplers rather than continuous monitors. Radiation byproducts are continuous uncontrolled clouds. A balloon carrying a pathogen could release bits of it at will. Need continuous sampling to capture intermittent releases.
Target doesn't have to be human, could be crops or animals. Another bird flu perhaps? What would preoccupy or cripple the country to the point where we wouldn't have the time or resources to defend Taiwan?
Or is it just a distraction from us sending more stuff to Ukraine?
