Yes, I know that. Where did I say differently? I said the threats are being normalized. If a world power is telling their citizens that it's happening, whether its actually happening or not, then that is the process of normalization.
no one is normalizing bioweapon threats, they're normalizing accusing the other side of bioweapon threats
but I guess that's pedantic and I agree with you that it sucks that no one would be surprised if a bioweapon did occur because everyone suspects the other side of it anyway
*using no one and everyone loosely
