I read The Dead Hand, which was mostly nukes, but touched on bio plenty to leave a lasting impression. Bioweapons are worse tactically and strategically than nukes, so the fact the the Soviets had a program up to and perhaps beyond the collapse of the empire says way more about their bureaucracy and decision making than it does about their military prowess. China is a lot of things but they're not stupid enough to have a bioweapons program, and they're doubly not stupid enough to have a bioweapons program at a facility that was receiving US government funding. This is sloppiness all the way down. Fauci knows it, and Collins knows it. They're just too chickenshit to say anything about it.
