Strong Push-back on COVID BioWeapon
A Chinese virologist who claims to have been one of the first to study COVID-19 when it surfaced last year has claimed it was made in a lab and deliberately released by the Chinese government.
Her claims, made in a study funded by a group founded by former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon, have been rubbished by other experts as "entirely fictional".
Li-Meng Yan's paper, Unusual Features of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution and Delineation of Its Probable Synthetic Route, was published online and has not been peer-reviewed.
"The natural origin theory, although widely accepted, lacks substantial support," it reads. "The alternative theory that the virus may have come from a research laboratory is, however, strictly censored in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Nonetheless, SARS-CoV-2 shows biological characteristics that are inconsistent with a naturally occurring, zoonotic virus."
"I work[ed] in the WHO reference lab, which is the top coronavirus lab in the world, in the University of Hong Kong," Dr Yan told Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Wednesday.
"And the thing is, I get deeply into such investigation in secret from the early beginning of this outbreak… I can tell you, this is created in the lab… and also, it is spread to the world to make such damage."
