Bannon has repeated a conspiracy theory that China was responsible for the coronavirus.Bannon, who served during the first seven months of Trump's administration said that the U.S. investigation meant that"we're going to find out over time if this came from the... lab in Wuhan.
He believed China knew about the ability of the disease to be transmitted from human to human in December 2019 and believed that"if they had told the world at the time", then,"95 percent of the economic devastation and 95 percent of the people dead would have never happened."
