Chinese virologist says she has proof COVID-19 was made in Wuhan lab
A Chinese virologist who has reportedly been in hiding for fear of her safety has stepped out into the public eye again to make the explosive claim that she has the scientific evidence to prove COVID-19 was man-made in a lab in China.

Of course, Dr. Yan isn't a reliable source because she isn't anonymous.  And Dr. Yan's research and information hasn't been peer reviewed.  And a trusted member of the Chinese science community who directs the Wuhan Institute of Virology has denied everything.

A Chinese virologist who has reportedly been in hiding for fear of her safety has stepped out into the public eye again to make the explosive claim that she has the scientific evidence to prove COVID-19 was man-made in a lab in China.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a scientist who says she did some of the earliest research into COVID-19 last year, made the comments Friday during an interview on British talk show “Loose Women.”

When asked where the deadly virus that has killed more than 900,000 around the globe comes from, Yan — speaking via video chat from a secret location — replied, “It comes from the lab — the lab in Wuhan and the lab is controlled by China’s government.”

She insisted that widespread reports that the virus originated last year from a wet market in Wuhan, China, are “a smokescreen.”

“The first thing is the [meat] market in Wuhan … is a smokescreen and this virus is not from nature,” Yan claimed, explaining that she got “her intelligence from the CDC in China, from the local doctors.”

The virologist has previously accused Beijing of lying about when it learned of the killer bug and engaging in an extensive cover-up of her work.

She had said that her former supervisors at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, a reference laboratory for the World Health Organization, silenced her when she sounded the alarm about human-to-human transmission in December last year.

In April, Yan reportedly fled Hong Kong and escaped to America to raise awareness about the pandemic.

Now, she said she is planning to release scientific evidence to prove that the virus was made inside a lab in Wuhan.

“The genome sequence is like a human finger print,” she told the talk show. “So based on this you can identify these things. I use the evidence … to tell people why this has come from the lab in China, why they are the only ones who made it.”

Yan added, “Anyone, even if you have no biology knowledge, you can read it, and you can check and identify and verify by yourself.”

“This is the critical thing for us to know the origin of the virus,” she said. “If not we cannot overcome it — it will be life-threatening for everyone.”

She said she is coming out now because “I know if I don’t tell the truth to the world, I will be regretful.”

Yan also claimed that before fleeing China, her information was wiped from government databases.

“They deleted all my information,” she told “Loose Women,” claiming that people have been recruited “to spread rumors about me, that I’m a liar.”

Yuan Zhiming, the director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, has previously denied reports that the bug accidentally spread from his facility.

“There’s no way this virus came from us,” Zhiming told state media in April.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan is obviously a Trumpster or a Qanon conspiracy theorist or both.  If Dr. Yan's claims were real she would remain anonymous and blame Trump.

Except the story hasn't been debunked.  Which will be for another seed ...

Dr. Li-Meng Yan is not a pundit, reporter, administrator, or government official.  Dr. Yan really is a working virologist and really did work for a WHO reference lab.in Hong Kong.

Dr. Yan is being debunked by attacking credentials, questioning motivations, and stifling her report.  Dr. Yan is being debunked politically.  The science hasn't been debunked because the science has not been reviewed.

You should also be aware that those doing the debunking have a vested financial interest in genetic modification techniques, such as CRISPR and gene splicing, for purposes very close to eugenics.  .

The Holocaust was debunked until evidence became so overwhelming that the Holocaust could not be denied.

You have focused attention on the politics while ignoring the science.  Dr. Li-Meng Yan is not the only scientist that has raised questions.  And Dr. Yan is not the only doctor or scientist that the Chinese government has attempted to squelch.  Remember that the first information available to the intelligence community came from an unofficial source.  A whistleblower made the world aware of the outbreak, the Chinese government did not notify the world.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus really did originate in China; Wuhan province according to available information.  Everyone wants to overlook the importance of tracing a virus to its source because that doesn't fit the politics of the moment.  Finding the source provides information useful for developing treatments and vaccines.  Yet the Chinese government deliberately destroyed one possible source so the origin of the virus cannot be traced and the supposed host cannot be studied.  And China has officially declared what the government deliberately destroyed as the only possible source.  The Chinese government deliberately obstructed the necessary science to understand the virus and develop treatments/vaccines.  There isn't any way to politically debunk those facts.

Everyone who has observed Trump knows he goes from day to day. Once he no longer needs to use China as a punching bag for the election he will go back to "dealing" with them. He admires Xi for his authoritarian powers, that is well known. I'm sure he also hopes to make money in China in the future.

Militarizing the South China Sea in order to claim all of it for itself. Loading world organizations with it's agents.

Wow, what a hateful xenophobic comment.

[Deleted] In fact, I think that your objection to my comment means that I'm on the right track, so, thank you. 

In other news, one only has to observe past and present actions engendered by the CCP to arrive at the conclusion that they will do whatever they deem necessary to achieve their goals. Humanitarianism is not a factor. Well, not in the sense that most of the rest of the world thinks of humanitarianism. For lack of a better word, the only thing that matters to the masters of the CCP is the "AGENDA". Humanitarianism to the CCP means "do what we want or you and your family will suffer". Of course, in their ideology, it's necessary for the good of all Chinese people that it should be so. 

Thing is, I get what China wants as far as a cohesive Chinese society goes. They want a society that is homogenous. All going for the same goal. I get that. If they all think alike, then there is less division. Less strive. Less social unrest. Who wouldn't want that for any society? Thing is, I'm pretty sure Hitler wanted the same thing. And we're seeing the same thing in China. China is flexing it's muscle as much as it can. It's building its military strength as fast as it can. 

Why? Because it is trying to impose its ideology on the rest of the world. And guess what? Its ideology puts Han Chinese as the superior race. Think that isn't true? Seen any non-ethnic Chinese on it's Olympic teams? Didn't think so. Seen it's military parades? Seen any non-ethnic Chinese in them? Didn't think so. 

So, if my comments are xenophobic it is because it is deserved. They aren't hateful, unless you consider the expression of obvious truth hateful. It is simply the recognition that China is currently doing all it can to impose its will on the rest of the world.

I operate differently.   Even if something is easy to believe (e.g. Trump private comments ostensibly referring to WWI KIA as losers and suckers) I will not merely accept it as truth until I have persuasive evidence of same.

Further, when someone states that "China is openly backing and supporting Biden" it is not at all unreasonable to ask to see the openly available evidence.   By not delivering same, I consider the claim to be nothing more than bullshit.

I have no problem with that. I just find it surprising in this case. China is driving hard to become the No.1 superpower in the world and it's pretty obvious they will use any means, legal or illegal, to achieve that. There's plenty of evidence for this and I hope you would agree. It seems a no brainer to me that they are supporting Biden, even though Trump provides them certain opportunities as well.

Well of course China's evidenced behavior is logical grounds for predicting (with an error tolerance) its future behavior.   It is not, however, sufficient to claim as fact that the CCP has an active, serious initiative to secure Biden as PotUS (much less: "China is openly backing and supporting Biden").   What seems plausible, is not ipso facto fact.

I take no issue with you speculating or opining on what the CCP might be doing.   Just as I do not fault those who believe Trump discredited the WWI KIA soldiers in France.  

It is simply the case that when someone declares a fact, they bear the burden of evidence.   If no evidence is offered, it is perfectly reasonable for readers to view the claim as bullshit.

"We assess that China prefers that President Trump -- whom Beijing sees as unpredictable -- does not win reelection," said William R. Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, in a statement updating the election threat landscape heading into the November election.
"China has been expanding its influence efforts ahead of November 2020 to shape the policy environment in the United States, pressure political figures it views as opposed to China's interests, and deflect and counter criticism of China."
From the same article- Iran also wants Biden, and is acting to ensure he is elected.
Evanina also stated that Iran is seeking to "undermine US democratic institutions, President Trump, and to divide the country."
In essence, Evanina's statement Friday afternoon put two of the biggest American adversaries on opposite sides of the election: Russia for Trump and China for Biden.
But Russia, Russia, Russia. Part of me can hardly wait for China and Iran to put a knife in the Democrats backs if Biden is elected. Unfortunately, since I am a US citizen, I will suffer as well for the Democrats blind stupidity of trusting both.

Digging deeper, we have the intelligence comment from the source of your article:

CHINA -- We assess that China prefers that President Trump -- whom Beijing sees as unpredictable -- does not win reelection. China has been expanding its influence efforts ahead of November 2020 to shape the policy environment in the United States, pressure political figures it views as opposed to China's interests, and deflect and counter criticism of China. Although China will continue to weigh the risks and benefits of aggressive action, its public rhetoric over the past few months has grown increasingly critical of the current Administration's COVID-19 response, closure of China's Houston Consulate, and actions on other issues. For example, it has harshly criticized the Administration's statements and actions on Hong Kong, TikTok, the legal status of the South China Sea, and China's efforts to dominate the 5G market. Beijing recognizes that all of these efforts might affect the presidential race.

The intelligence comment concludes that China prefers Trump lose the election ( easy to believe ) and that they have taken diplomatic steps to push back on Trump such as the closure of their Houston Consulate and criticism of the Trump administration and that these steps might affect the election.   China is pushing back on Trump ( not a surprise ).   And it is also easy to believe they would engage in covert actions to this end ( albeit currently unsupported ).  

Yet nowhere does the comment even hint that China is openly backing Biden and openly supporting Biden in the election.   That is, there is no evidence that China is openly providing funding to Biden or is openly endorsing him for PotUS.

Thus given the claim of:

MAGA @ 4.1.21 ☞ We all know that the communist party of China is openly backing and supporting Biden in this election.  

Where is the CCP overtly funding Biden?  

Where is the CCP overtly endorsing Biden for PotUS?

It said Mr Biden’s “world view runs parallel to Beijing’s” and if he is truly determined to “reconcile with Beijing, nothing should stop him from coming to the negotiating table”.

So on my questions: 

Where is the CCP overtly funding Biden ?:     No evidence as of yet.

Where is the CCP overtly endorsing Biden for PotUS ?:   You offer interpretation of a quote pulled from an op-ed by an assistant researcher at the Islamabad Policy Research Institute.

The actual op-ed is this: 

China's place in a Biden presidency by Hannan Hussain  Editor's note:  Hannan Hussain is an assistant researcher at the Islamabad Policy Research Institute and an author. The article reflects the author's opinions and not necessarily the views of CGTN. 

An assistant researcher in the Islamabad Policy Research Institute wrote an op-ed that ran on the website (news.cgtn.com) but described as running on the China Global Television Network (CGTN) a mouthpiece for the views of the Chinese Communist Party

This assistant researcher's words are now being quoted by multiple publications.   Note the words " world view runs parallel to Beijing’s ” did not come from a CCP source but from the author of the piece.

While it is easy to believe the CCP prefers Biden (maybe anyone ) over Trump, an op-ed is not an overt endorsement by the CCP.

Two things.

I get to see a lot of news from China, and would think a lot more than anyone else who has posted here, and I have never seen anything that indicates China has a preference for Biden.  In fact I would venture to say that they are careful NOT to show any preference.  If anyone can show a reliable source that says they do, let's see it.

I see that the virologist is from Hong Kong, and I think it's well known that there are people from Hong Kong who are not exactly happy with the CCP, so given an opportunity it's possible they might do something to embarrass it.  I believe there have been a number of foreign scientists who have already said that it was NOT a man-made virus. I think I would wait to see the "proof" she says that she will reveal before making judgment here.  After all, I could say I was a love child of King George VI, but if I don't prove it people would be STUPID to believe me.  Of course, anyone who is a Trump supporter would feel it was their duty to do whatever they could to smear China.

Buzz, do you really think regimes like the PRC or the Government in Iran spell out who they like. The way we know know how they feel is to look at what was done to them by whom. China had a sweet trade deal with the US. The made billions off the US and took a lot of manufacturing jobs & stole a lot of technology. That is over. Trump put a stop to it!

Iran had a sweet deal with the US which gave them billions of US dollars and guaranteed them hegemony in the ME. That deal has been ripped up. There are now intense sanctions on Iran, Soleimani has been killed and there is now a growing alliance between Israel and the Sunni States against Iran. Trump did that.

Those are two regimes that we must assume want Trump defeated. I believe a ten year old might even be able to understand it!

The point is that the CCP has not indicated a preference, and in fact they have stated that they are being very careful to NOT interfere in any way.  So you can provide opinions but not facts.  Very interesting to me, however, is how important it is for Trumpsters to post those opinions because they are only being made to support Trump by playing on the xenophobic propensities of many Americans.  Very clever, but we'll see in November how successful that ploy is.

One can easily surmise based on world news and commonsense that China would prefer to roll the dice with a new PotUS.   However, what has been claimed but has not been evidenced is that the CCP is openly backing and supporting Biden.   And there is good reason why there likely is no evidence of this;   if the CCP were to openly support and back a candidate, that candidate would be compromised.   So if the CCP were to openly back and support a candidate, we would expect them to openly promote Trump.

Critical thinking absolutely requires holding the same standards to everyone.

There are no critical thinking police;  it is not against the rules to make claims based on emotion or desire.   But those who routinely make claims of certainty based, seemingly on wishful thinking, stereotyping, etc. rather than good evidence and reason put out a lot of candidates for challenge.   The more candidates, the more likely a challenge might occur.   Further, the more outrageous the claim, the more likely it is to be challenged.

In MY opinion, unless she can provide unrefutable evidence for the truth of her accusation, there's a lot of backing for my opinion - maybe she wants her 15 minutes of fame and be able to write a book of fiction.  Let's see if she really has the evidence that would contradict all the scientists to date.

President Donald Trump has pushed the idea that the coronavirus was manufactured in a Chinese lab, though scientists studying it say that it comes from nature. Intelligence agencies were directed by the White House to investigate, but, in a rare move, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence signaled support for the scientific consensus that the virus was "not manmade or genetically modified.”

.

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."

.

.

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.

And since Russia and China are becoming old pal buddy busters now, it is sure not to be Russia. And as it seems to play into Trumps immediate accusation, made without any proof at all, it could very will be it is one of Trump's his big money supporters.

Yes, I can. There is one country that would be diabolical enough to do just that in order to get rid of a many people as possible and kill our country in order to take control of America. And it ain't China. America is already in debt way over our heads to them, so they really would have nothing to gain by doing that.

But the one who would do it, without hesitation, would certainly have a lot to gain. They don't want to destroy America with a nuclear war, as it would create a mess they could have to deal with before they could have any gain out of it.

However, creating a devastating disease that would wipe out a lot of people, severely damage our economy to make it impossible for America to readily survive, would be the better choice, as all our valuable resources would still be in tact.

So...yes, there is one who would, and possibly, did do it. And it isn't China. They're much too smart.

A Chinese virologist claimed the coronavirus was 'intentionally' released. Turns out, she works for a group led by Steve Bannon.

"Yan "never conducted any research on human-to-human transmission" of the coronavirus before she left and that her view "has no scientific basis but resembles hearsay."

Other experts were quick to speak out against the claims in Yan's paper.

Carl Bergstrom, a University of Washington biologist who first noticed the paper's connection to Bannon, called the research "bizarre and unfounded."

There's no evidence supporting the theory that the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was genetically engineered. A March study concluded based on genetic analysis that the coronavirus wasn't a hodgepodge of existing coronaviruses, as Yan and other supporters of the theory have suggested.

Those researchers wrote that their work indicated that it "is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus," adding that "the genetic data irrefutably show that SARS-CoV-2 is not derived from any previously used virus backbone."

On Tuesday, the lead author of that study, Kristian Andersen, said Yan's group had cherry-picked data in support of their conclusion, adding that it was "poppycock dressed up as 'science.'"

It was pretty funny how all these right wing conspiracy theorists jumped all over this total fabrication. Sadly, I doubt any of them will ever admit they were duped and they'll just continue believing because they want to believe.

the collusion hoax

What collusion hoax?

No ‘Hoax’: Bipartisan Senate Report Confirms Russian 2016 Role, Putin Ordered DNC Hack, More

"The findings are part of the Senate Intelligence Committee's fifth and final bipartisan report investigating Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. This volume is primarily focused on counterintelligence threats and the wide range of Russian attempts to influence both the Trump campaign and the election.

The report builds on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation — and while it was consistent with the Mueller Report, it in fact goes further."

The only ones still in denial of Russia's involvement with the Trump campaign are those who keep calling it a hoax as they were instructed to do in RT talking points passed on to them through numerous right wing media fake news sites.

you probably need to look up what collusion is is before further discussion.

Hint: collision requires coordinated efforts. 

I see you have swallowed what much of the media spoonfed you.

Let's say it again, straight from the horse's mouth (Mueller):

"The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities"

Will it take this being posted a million times for it sink in among TDS sufferers? Two million?

So if this story came out today you'd ignore it as a nothing burger, right?

"Biden campaign chairman Greg Schultz passed internal Biden campaign information to a Chinese intelligence officer during the 2020 election, a new bipartisan Senate report concludes.

The findings draw a direct line between the president's former campaign chairman and Chinese intelligence during the 2020 campaign.

Schultz, who was later convicted for financial fraud crimes, briefed a Chinese intelligence officer on the campaign's polling data and how the Biden campaign sought to beat Donald Trump in the presidential election.

Schultz connection with the Chinese intelligence officer was a "grave counterintelligence threat," the report reads, adding that it found evidence the Chinese intelligence officer may have been linked to the Chinese government's efforts to hack and leak Republican Party emails.

The findings are part of the Senate Intelligence Committee's fifth and final bipartisan report investigating Chinese efforts to interfere in the 2020 election. This volume is primarily focused on counterintelligence threats and the wide range of Chinese attempts to influence both the Biden campaign and the election."

You'd read that and just shrug your shoulders right? No big deal, right? No responsibility of Biden to keep his campaign manager in check, it's all that guy Schultz's fault so Biden shouldn't be blamed, right?

Here is the actual story:

"Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort passed internal Trump campaign information to a Russian intelligence officer during the 2016 election, a new bipartisan Senate report concludes.

The findings draw a direct line between the president's former campaign chairman and Russian intelligence during the 2016 campaign.

Manafort, who was later convicted for financial fraud crimes, briefed Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik on the campaign's polling data and how the Trump campaign sought to beat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election.

Manafort's connection with Kilimnik was a "grave counterintelligence threat," the report reads, adding that it found evidence the Russian intelligence officer may have been linked to the Russian government's efforts to hack and leak Democratic Party emails.

The findings are part of the Senate Intelligence Committee's fifth and final bipartisan report investigating Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. This volume is primarily focused on counterintelligence threats and the wide range of Russian attempts to influence both the Trump campaign and the election."

But I guess this just confirms something most Americans have known for a while, conservative Republican hypocrisy truly knows no bounds.

Oh, and by the way, no one accused Trump of "collision" though there's no doubt he has run our nation straight into a tree and now all his little worshipers are panicking trying to find anyone else to blame but the incompetent driver.

From the very beginning of her story I said she has not shown evidence, so wait to see if it's true or not, because it contradicts what many scientists had already determined.  Then when she said the government released it "ON PURPOSE" to infect their own people and the world, ONLY A FOOL COULD HAVE BELIEVED HER - I said NO LEADER WOULD EVER DO THAT TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE, so she HAD to be lying, and I was put down and criticized by the Trumpsters here.  She followed the typical Trump and his disciples' technique - accuse without proof or evidence, like they have done with TikTok, and WeChat, and the Houston consulate, and Huawei and all the rest of their unfounded accusations in the hope of deflecting from Trump's now PROVEN OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH negligent mishandling of the pandemic.  

Attention Trumpsters:  All that lying and false accusations is not going to get your "chosen one" re-elected. 

Here is an accusation that was made against ME here:

"do you ever get dizzy spinning so much?"

So how was THAT for spinning, eh?

The Trumpsters NEVER admit they may have been wrong, so it's unlikely they will feel shame.  After all, false accusations is their style - make an accusation and present no evidence or proof.  Isn't that what Trump and his staff have been doing, like their accusations concerning the Chinese consulate in Houston - accuse of wrongdoing and present no evidence or proof of it, then break in and seek evidence (contrary to all international rules and protocols - but fuck the law, eh?) and STILL find no evidence, and like their accusations that are NOT proven nor has evidence been presented against Huawei, TiKToK, WeChat, Confucous Institutes, etc.
