That was one of my points to myself also, no proof of this, no other news sources spouting this lie, 'yet'. Watch, tomorrow it will be mainstream. They make up things I think, give it to one media outlet, see the response, if it flies, then they disseminate it to the group think MSM for their briefing and splammm!! It's headlines. Disgusting that they make stuff up out of thin air and headline it to their sheep at the 6 o'clock news where only headlines are listened to and taken as the whole story.  What if the virus creators doctored it in such a way.... is a real danger, especially for future 'endemics'...
