Gain-of-Function Bioweapon Superplot

The gain-of-function bioweapon superplot is a modern conspiracy theory claiming that gain-of-function or pandemic-pathogen research created SARS-CoV-2 as an intentional bioweapon or as part of a wider coordinated agenda involving scientists, governments, funders, pharmaceutical interests, and global institutions. In reality, real debates over biosafety, dual-use research, and pandemic origins have often been stretched far beyond the evidence into a single grand narrative of deliberate design, release, cover-up, and social control.
