While major medical bodies and countries have been trying to get to the root of its origin, in a new turn of events, a Chinese virologist, seeking refuge in the United States, has claimed that the virus, which has caused devastation on a large scale, it’s not just any viral strain, but something that purely originated from a government facility in China.
Interestingly, the way in which the Asian country has handled the epidemic and the apparent silence has been met with much criticism by experts inside and outside the country.
The claims, made by Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a virologist who escaped from China in April, appeared in an interview with WION television. Since the statement was made, the report has gone viral on the internet.
“SARS-COV-2 is a man-made virus,” says Dr. Li-Meng Yan
Dr. Yan is not the only expert who has made suspicious claims related to the origin of the SARS-COV-2 virus. He reportedly said the virus was engineered in a lab by humans, also suggesting that the Chinese government had prior knowledge of the spread.
Dr. Yan, who was also involved in the investigation of the world’s first reported outbreak, namely the one that originated in Wuhan, claims that the virus was in circulation long before the Wuhan seafood market made the news. , rating it complete. ‘cover’.
According to her, she was tasked with analyzing samples when a cluster of SARS-like cases was observed.
While this is reported data, Dr. Yan’s claims can support the proof that the first COVID-19 cases were seen in November 2019 and not in late December as claimed.
Dr. Yan also reported that the outbreak was well known to the World Health Organization (WHO), accusing them of a cover-up.
The WHO is fighting back against criticism from countries like the United States for not doing enough to combat the spread of the disease.
The virologist, who suggested that Chinese officials are trying to silence critics and experts like her, is in the process of publishing all the claims, which could be accessed by the general public.
“Anyone, even if they have no knowledge of biology, will be able to read it and check it, identify it and verify it yourself.”
He also appeared on another UK-based television segment last week, where he promised to reveal evidence that SARS-COV-2 is a man-made virus. Excerpts from the interview say:
“The genome sequence is like a human fingerprint. Based on this, you can identify these things. I will [use this] evidence to tell people why this comes from the lab in China, why they did it. ”
Earlier this year, another whistleblower, 34-year-old doctor Li Wenliang, who tried to warn other doctors and global experts about the spread of the epidemic, died after battling the disease, sparking outrage on the internet. In fact, he was one of the first to issue warning signs in December when he looked at a test he had seen and identified that the disease was a coronavirus, a large family of viruses that includes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) that caused 800 killed in China and the world in 2003.
Meanwhile, Wuhan, which was the epicenter of the disease and recorded more than 50,000 cases at its peak, appears to have returned to normal when images of people partying, swimming without practicing social distancing, surfaced online.
