Chinese virologist: China's government 'intentionally' released COVID-19

Dr. Li-Meng Yan joins Tucker Carlson with insight on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'
The Chinese government intentionally manufactured and released the COVID-19 virus that led to mass shutdowns and deaths across the world, a top virologist and whistleblower told Fox News host Tucker Carlson Tuesday.
Carlson specifically asked Dr. Li-Meng Yan whether she believed the Chinese communist party released the virus "on purpose." "Yes, of course, it's intentionally," she responded on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
Yan said more evidence would be released but pointed to her own high-ranking position at a World Health Organization reference lab as a reason to trust her allegation.
"I work[ed] in the WHO reference lab which is the top coronavirus lab in the world, in the University of Hong Kong. And the thing is I get deeply into such investigation in secret from the early beginning of this outbreak. I had my intelligence because I also get my own unit network in China, involved [in] the hospital ... also I work with the top corona[virus] virologist in the world," she said.
"So, together with my experience, I can tell you, this is created in the lab ... and also, it is spread to the world to make such damage."
Yan's comments conflicted with the opinion of Dr. Anthony Fauci, a White House coronavirus adviser, who previously cast doubt on the idea the virus was artificially created. In May, he told National Geographic: "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."
Other scientists have panned the idea that COVID-19 served as a sort of bioweapon or was released by a lab.
Fox News previously reported on Yan when she blew the whistle on China's alleged attempts to suppress information about its handling of the virus. With a vast network of contacts in Chinese medical facilities, Yan attempted to gather more information about the virus as China blocked overseas experts from conducting research in the country.
Her revelations fueled ongoing complaints that the Chinese government failed to tell the world early on about the virus' threat. Specifically, she believes the Chinese government ignored research that could have saved lives. The State Department did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
In response, her former employer, the University of Hong Kong, criticized her account. A press release noted "that the content of the said news report does not accord with the key facts as we understand them."
"Specifically, Dr Yan never conducted any research on human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus at [the University of Hong Kong] during December 2019 and January 2020, her central assertion of the said interview."
Yan, who said she was one of the first scientists in the world to study the novel coronavirus, fled China and currently fears retaliation. She was allegedly asked by her supervisor at the University/WHO reference lab, Dr. Leo Poon, in 2019 to look into the odd cluster of SARS-like cases coming out of mainland China at the end of December 2019.

And the PRC seems to be saying "What are you gonna do about it?"
BTW the implied threat is out there - If the international community musters up enough courage to respond - it might just happen again!
Trump and his supporters are off topic
Special thanks to Dr. Li-Meng Yan and Tucker Carlson
If we're talking proof and evidence, will you please provide the proof and evidence that gives any veracity whatsoever to that. Obviously it's only YOUR opinion.
Obviously
Here we go again...
Let's see if she really has the evidence that would contradict all the scientists to date.
.
Scientists Have Strong Evidence Coronavirus Originated ...
Apr 18, 2020 · Scientists have strong evidence coronavirus originated naturally Nothing suggests the virus was " man-made ," experts say .
.
Scientists Are Tired Of Explaining Why The COVID-19 Virus Was Not Made In A Lab
"All evidence so far points to the fact the COVID-19 virus is naturally derived and not man-made," explains immunologist Nigel McMillan from the Menzies Health Institute Queensland.
"If you were going to design it in a lab the sequence changes make no sense as all previous evidence would tell you it would make the virus worse. No system exists in the lab to make some of the changes found."
Lies have been told about what this nobel laureate said:
.
Although some have suggested it was man-made, and there are suspicions voiced, no evidence has been produced to prove those opinons that are far outnumbered by those who say it wasn't, so as I've said, let's see HER evidence before we pass judgment.
Again - where is the evidence that scientists can form a judgment on? So far it's just been her story, and in the seed above, even some of that is contradicted.
Lies about the virus are commonplace. For example: Lies have been told about what this nobel laureate said.
Why do I think this woman is lying? When she says THIS:
"The Chinese government intentionally manufactured and released the COVID-19 virus...."
I cannot fathom ANY government that would INTEND to spread a virus that sickens and kills its own people and fractures its own economy, let alone the rest of the world. How can any intelligent person even THINK so. Such lies are told to smear and disparage, and until the many scientists who denied the conspiracy theories and lies study her "evidence" and change their minds accordingly, anyone who believes her is a fool Of course her choosing Tucker Carlson to do the interview is LAUGHABLE.
maybe you should study what communists do and have done.
https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&q=communists+killed+own+people&
and then explain why communists would NOT kill a few people for political reasons?
xi is turning into mao as we speak
the typical communist iron curtain is slowly falling over china.
get out while ya can. run away like your feet were on fire.
Run away? Why? Even though I'm not a Communist (nor is anyone in my wife's family) I've never had a problem here and everyone around me are very happy. I'm better off here than I would be in Canada.
for now that may be true enough but not for very long.
chinas future is not as bright as it seemed a year ago,
in the end we will crush the communists in china just like we did the old soviet union. might take a few decades, but we got time. as they go broke, the communist govt will be getting very angry and aggressive towards foreigners and will begin to expel them using any and all means including encouraging china's people to do the same. first china will expel foreign media. then all outsiders will be pushed out..
you may want to reconsider what's best or not... your call.
Might take a few decades? Well, I'm 83 so I think I'll take the chance of sticking around.
I think you'll be in good hands. It's Dr. Li-Meng Yan who has to worry about something happening to her.
To China people are expendable. Crack a history book.
Perhaps you have been there too long.
It's correct that you suggested a history book to verify your opinion. Every country has its unfortunate history - just ask the Native Americans.
Try recent history, China has not changed.
1949–1966 [ edit ]
1966–1976 (Cultural Revolution) [ edit ]
Cultural Revolution was launched by Mao Zedong in May 1966, with the help of the Cultural Revolution Group . The estimated total death toll ranges from hundreds of thousands to 20 million [32] , while massacres took place across the country. Some of the massacres occurred during the Violent Struggles (200,000-500,000 deaths), struggle sessions or political purges such as Cleansing the Class Ranks (0.5-1.5 million deaths). In total, some Chinese researchers have estimated that at least 300,000 people were killed in Cultural Revolution massacres. [33] [34] Massacres in Guangxi Province and Guangdong Province were among the most serious: in Guangxi, the official annals of at least 43 counties report massacres with 15 of them recording a death toll of over 1,000, while in Guangdong at least 28 counties report massacres with 6 of them seeing over 1,000 deaths. [35] [36] The following table only includes major massacres which have been well documented in literature.

Or the Uighers today in China ..... Communist re-education anyone?
Thanks for the history lesson, but things can change in 31 years. I've been here only for the past 14 years. For more than 3 years the only serious incident was a stabbing of students at a primary school carried out by a deranged old man who broke in. It was well reported on TV and on the Chinese news media, so it's not kept secret when those things happen here. So why has there been no other terrorism for more than 3 years? Care to guess why? Out of curiosity, how many mass murders and terrorist attacks have there been in the USA over the past 3 years? How many innocent people killed in them?
Hey Sparty On,
Why don't you go to the Discovery group and read the most recent article. It was written by an Egyptian journalist and published in an Egyptian medium. He was part of a group of journalists from various countries (not the USA or others that are automatically prejudiced). He writes about what he saw in the reeducation camps. You don't have to believe it, I really don't care.
Sorry 3 years doesn't make up for millions and millions massacred in recent history and the human rights violations that still remain today.
China is a brutal country, always has been and always will be, XI is no different than previous leaders. He will do whatever it takes for country.
We have our problems but our government doesn't exterminate it's own citizens.
Hey Buzz oto,
I don’t even try to join partisan echo chamber groups here anymore as they don’t really want to hear all sides of a debate.
So no, I haven’t read it but don’t need to really. Like the Japanese internment camps we had nearly 80 years ago, internment/re-education camps aren’t the best look for any country.

If Biden wins I’m headed back to an American re-education camp to rub elbows with the commies.
Back to college for me since it will be free. Mess with some leftist minds and get me some of that free stuff ...... it’s a twofer
I believe the NY Post broke the story. Carlson merely laid it out before the nation.
I have no problem with the people of China.
Thats because most of the mass media is so clearly biased they would never give her the time. Nothing laughable at all about that ....
And there she is risking her life to spread the word. I wonder what she thinks of the American media?
Probably looks real familiar to her ......
