Weinstein argues that wild-type plague rarely becomes a global pandemic in the modern era. He posits that if the incident scales, it may be a coordinated effort to manipulate public fear using a disease with a high fatality rate.

Paul argues that the pardon is too unspecified, covering a ten-year period without naming a specific crime. Legal analysts suggest that while the executive branch has broad pardon powers, the "auto-pen" signature and Biden's mental state raise questions about whether the pardon was "knowingly and intelligently" issued.

He argues the research was designed to make the virus jump from chickens to mallard ducks to facilitate its spread. McCullough is calling for an immediate ban on all gain-of-function research in the United States and a halt to funding for international labs.

He notes that scientists in 2012 identified the five amino acid changes required for the virus to become human-to-human transmissible. Redfield expresses concern that this transition will occur in a laboratory via gain-of-function research rather than natural spillover.

He alleges that gain-of-function research on bird flu has been conducted for decades at the University of Wisconsin, Erasmus MC in the Netherlands, and the Southeastern Poultry Research Center in Georgia. McCullough argues that the virus is being spread by migratory mallard ducks used in experiments and that the primary threat is the incineration of poultry flocks rather than human lethality.

The theory posits that "Operation Warp Speed" and the initial Moderna deal in January 2020 were actually targeting this avian flu rather than COVID-19.

Redfield criticized the NIH and CDC for a lack of transparency and for failing to aggressively investigate the lab leak hypothesis in early 2020.
