HBDer Death Penalty?

A hypothetical argument.

The following is NOT meant to be an accusation against anyone, merely a set of theoretical propositions, speculations, questions, and hypotheses, a search for the truth. 

• Regardless of the origin of the virus – probably a lab leak – the Chinese allowed their citizens to travel internationally in the early days of the pandemic, efficiently infecting other nations with the virus.
• Covering up the outbreak and allowing this travel, the unavoidable conclusion seems to be that the Chinese intentionally infected other nations with the virus. The motivation would have likely been not wanting China to be at a competitive disadvantage with other nations (particularly the USA, Russia, the EU, and India); thus, infecting everyone brings all down to the same crisis level.
• Thus, the Chinese used their people as biological weapons, vectors to spread disease, and this is biological warfare, levying war.
• As part of this levying of war, the Chinese have been engaging in a misinformation campaign to obfuscate the origins of the virus, including and especially promoting the lie that it is an “American bioweapon” (or originated outside of China in some other manner).
• Certain HBDers have been enthusiastic participants in this misinformation campaign, helping to spread those lies, as witnessed by large numbers of people online.
• Therefore, these HBDers participated in the levying of war against the USA, which was witnessed by much more than just two people. The actions of the HBDers can therefore be construed as meeting the definition of treason in the US Constitution.
• If this is all true, and if it can be demonstrated, and if the HBDers are so convicted, should they be subject to the death penalty?

Again, I make no accusations against anyone, merely asking questions, making speculations, suggesting hypotheses.  It is up to the American authorities to investigate; if the HBDers have nothing to hide, then they should welcome the most intensive, intrusive, revealing investigation possible.

And before some call me an “insane paranoid piece of crap” for making these speculations, etc. – can they point out where in my chain of argumentation here is there a serious problem (keeping in mind that this is meant to be a theoretical, hypothetical set of questions and propositions)?  A desire to protect the HBDers does not constitute an effective counter-argument.
