Former Chinese virologist from Hong Kong Dr Li-Meng Yan has put up a claim, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was developed in a government laboratory in Wuhan. She said she had evidence to back her claim.
IN a TV interview Li-Meng maintained that the virus is a highly mutant one and that the Wuhan seafood market and the other intermediate hosts of the virus were just a smokescreen.
In the show, Li-Meng said the virus was not natural. “This is based on the China Military Institute that discovered and owned some bad coronavirus named CC45 and ZXC41. Based on that, after lab modification, it became a novel virus,”
she said and further elaborated, “The genome sequence is like a human fingerprint, so based on this you can recognise, identify these things. So, I used the evidence that exists in the genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2 to tell people why this has come from China and why they are the only ones to make it.”
Li-Meng also revealed that there are two reports which support her claim and said that one of them will be published in near future to reveal all the scientific evidence to prove that the virus is man-made.
She said her own institute, the School of Public Health in University of Hong Kong, which was also affiliated with the World Health Organization (WHO), had asked her to stay silent about it. In December 2019, Li-Meng was assigned to a team that was undertaking a “secret investigation” about the outbreak in Wuhan.
She explained, “When I found the reality of the outbreak, I reported it to my supervisor who is a WHO consultant but there was no response from the WHO.” She claimed that people also asked her to keep silent. Then, on 17 January, Li-Meng broke her silence and contacted a Chinese YouTuber based in the US.

But after this she had to face wrath of the authorities. Chinese authorities targeted her and tried to make her disappear after she broke her silence. “This is common sense for Chinese people under China government. They studied all my information. They recruited people like cyber military to spread rumours around me for example. They also said that I am a liar and that I don’t know anything,” Li-Meng said.
“They controlled my friends, and family and said threatening things to them. Finally, all of them had to admit that I didn’t exist,” she added.
