If enough people pursue the truth eventually it will come come out. Last week a Chinese virologist claimed she has scientific evidence on the origin of the coronavirus causing the global pandemic.

At the end of 2019 Chinese experts said SARS-CoV2 had likely crossed from animals to humans causing COVID-19, and early in 2020 US expert Dr Anthony Fauci agreed, casting doubt on the idea that the virus affecting humans originated in a laboratory.

On 1 January 2020 Beijing temporarily closed the Huanan wet market selling live wild animals for human consumption as the likely source of early cases of COVID-19, and in March 2020 China and WHO suggested the animal culprit was a pangolin – despite years of work by Chinese virologists on coronaviruses in horseshoe bats.

In 2013 a team of international scientists, led by Professor Shi Zhengli from Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and CSIRO scientist Professor Linfa Wang, isolated a very close relative of SARS-CoV from horseshoe bats in China, confirming them as the origin of the virus responsible for the 2002-3 pandemic.

Professor Zhengli had worked on coronaviruses in bats since 2003 and warned in 2015 it was only a matter of time before the virus “spilled over the species barrier and wreaked havoc“. How convenient to be reminded of this in September 2020 by a Chinese virologist, but how inconvenient that neither the CCP nor WHO mentioned that the horseshoe bat virus was studied in the Wuhan laboratory.

“If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats, and what’s out there now is very, very strongly leaning toward this [virus] could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated—the way the mutations have naturally evolved,” Fauci said last May. “A number of very qualified evolutionary biologists have said that everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that it evolved in nature and then jumped species.”When asked about the possibility of the virus escaping the lab after scientists brought it inside, Fauci responded, “But that means it was in the wild to begin with. That’s why I don’t get what they’re talking about [and] why I don’t spend a lot of time going in on this circular argument.”

But last week the genie left the bottle and the source of SARS-CoV2 was alleged to be, not the Wuhan wet market, but the Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory.

Last week Chinese virologist Dr Li Meng Yan, who worked on COVID-19 in Wuhan at the start of the outbreak, reappeared on Tucker Carlson to repeat her claim that the coronavirus is man-made and the research in Wuhan was partly funded by the NIH with US taxpayer money. US Covid expert Dr Anthony Fauci has to have been aware that the funding he approved was used for gain of function research carried out in Wuhan prior to the coronavirus outbreak.

Dr Yan had presented claims last year that were refuted by Twitter and Facebook after fact-checking website Politifact described Dr. Yan’s claims as “inaccurate and ridiculous”. Politifact has since removed the criticism.

DR. LI-MENG YAN:  From my first report, I can present solid scientific evidence that Covid 19 actually is not from nature…I work with the top virologists in the world so together with my experience, I can tell you this is created in the lab. This is from…owned by the Chinese military and also, it is spread to the world to make such damage. 

TUCKER: To make such damage. Do you believe the Chinese government released this intentionally? Did they do this?

DR. LI-MENG YAN:  Yes of course. Intentionally.

That was a strong claim. But Lee-Mung Yan [sic] had even stronger credentials. Once again, she’s a Chinese virologist who personally did research on COVID, in China, at the very beginning of the outbreak. She’s not an internet fabulist. She had informed, first-hand knowledge about how the pandemic started. Not many people could say that. But she could. And she did. But no one listened. Instead, the usual liars went to work immediately to discredit her personally.  

Dr Li’s claims contradict Professor Zhengli, the WHO, Dr Fauci and the CCP who all said SARS-CoV2 was most likely transferred from the horseshoe bat to humans via the wet market in Wuhan.

“The virus, the scientist said, likely came from an animal called the Intermediate Horseshoe Bat. It’s interesting, they said, because there are no known colonies of Intermediate Horseshoe bats within 900 kilometers of Wuhan. Nor were they sold in the famous wet market there. In fact, the scientists interviewed nearly 60 people who worked or shopped in the market. All confirmed there were no horseshoe bats for sale.”

But this week Fauci backed down and admitted the virus probably did not develop naturally, calling for a Chinese enquiry. Fauci seems to be distancing himself from allegations that he is partly responsible for the pandemic because of his funding approval.

“Dr. Anthony Fauci is now calling for more investigation into China to uncover the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, a dramatic reversal from his earlier position in which he dismissed theories that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Clearly, Fauci believes Li has the evidence to back up her claim or he would have not have bothered to refute the argument he put forward last year. Li claims she has the evidence.

“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 has come from the lab in China, why they are the ones who made it. Anyone, even if you have no biology knowledge, will be able to read it.” Li fled to US from Hong Kong earlier this year alleging that Beijing had tried to silence her. Daily Mirror”

If Li does indeed back up her claim of a man-made virus, many questions will need to be answered. Who developed the gain of function to enable human transmission, and why? If SARS-CoV2 was produced in a laboratory did it escape by accident or was it deliberately leaked? If Dr Fauci knew all along the virus was man-made why did he initially lie about that fact? If it is man-made, is there any relationship between the virus and the vaccine development?
