Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese virologist (holding an MD and PhD) made claim on British television that the SARS-CoV-2 (the virus which causes COVID-19), was created by Chinese scientists in a lab. This past Sunday, Li-Meng had joined Twitter, and shared a a link to a paper she wrote titled “Unusual Features of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution”.
Here is the link to the article: https://t.co/g9uPdcRIew
The integral piece of information being: The receptor-binding motif of SARS-CoV-2 Spike cannot be born from nature and should have been created through genetic engineering
When the pandemic was in its early stages, there were reports that came out from America and accepted by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, that COVID-19 had originated from a viral lab in Wuhan, before coming into contact with the local wet market.
Within her report, Dr. Yan describes as to how the Chinese government covered up their tracks as well as how the virus was synthetically made.
I can’t even imagine as to what the ramifications were to be if this report were to be true, but there clearly needs to be more investigation into the outbreak.
Update: As of Sept. 15/2020, Dr. Yan’s account has been suspended from Twitter, adding even more petrol to the already blazing fire. Had Twitter left Dr. Yan’s page up, other scientists could have had the opportunity to discuss her (and her teams) results, and debate any inconsistencies or disputed points. Why did Jack Dorsey decide to shut her down?
Hopefully time will tell…
