Daily Mail: Chinese virologist who fled to the US after claiming Covid-19 was made in a military lab releases 'evidence' to back up her theory — but fellow scientists call her report 'unsubstantiated'
* Li-Meng Yan posted a report making the allegations on the website Zenodo
* She alleges it was built by manipulating the genetic material of other viruses
* But her claims have no basis in peer-reviewed journals or scientific backing
* Scientists studying coronavirus have dismissed her claims as 'fiction'
A Chinese virologist who alleges the coronavirus was cooked up in a military lab has published a report which she claims backs up her theory.
Li-Meng Yan, who alleges to be a former researcher at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, says the virus was built by merging the genetic material of two bat coronaviruses.
She claims its spike protein – a structure on the surface of the virus which it uses to bind with cells – was edited to make it easier for the virus to latch on to human cells.

WNU Editor: What bothers me is that there appears to be a concerted effort to have her work and the evidence proving her case banned .... Twitter Suspends Account of Chinese Virologist Who Claimed Coronavirus Was Made in a Lab (Newsweek). I say let her make her case, and permit scientists and researchers to examine and comment on her claims. This news story reminds me of South China University claiming at the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak that it came from a lab, posting its work and then having it removed in February ....

CNN said we're all racist for even questioning China's involvement
No biggie if a few trillion get lost and a few million die. Just please don't offend anyone with questions about why your grandma died a horrible death or why your children have twice as much debt now.
It's you, get it? You're the problem they say
Our president has closed the border for Chinese coming here. But somehow she is here?
Only the truth would motivate a respected Chinese scientist to give up her privileged position, her family, her job, her country and possibly her life to expose the source of this manufactured virus. Those speaking against her probably have ties to the Communist Chinese government through grants and loans.
Li-Meng Yan's account was taken down on Tuesday after she accused China of intentionally manufacturing and releasing COVID-19
Yan has since claimed she was suspended because 'they don't want the people to know this truth'
Yan alleges to be a former researcher at the Hong Kong School of Public Health
She published a report this week that she claims backs up her theory that China created the virus in a lab
Scientists have since slammed her report as 'unsubstantiated' and said it 'cannot be given any credibility'
Yan's claims are at odds with Dr Anthony Fauci who has previously disputed that the virus was made in a lab
"no one accused Russia of the virus, dummy"
I did not accuse Russia of creating or spreading the virus. What did do is type Russia four times and flush out an idiot college professor, who then displayed full partisan hack plumage.
You should be ashamed of yourself gloating that Li-Meng Yan's account was taken down. You have absolutely no capacity to determine if Li-Meng Yan's account is credible, since you have zero scientific training.
Let us be honest. You are a hack, who would vote for a corpses for president, vice president, senator and representative, if the Democrat party told you to vote in such a way.
Readers have no doubt why college kids demand speech codes on college campi since the 1980s and 1990s with "teachers" like you.
Twitter and Facebook take down more and more stuff that is not approved of by liberals.
no. you did not. you merely shouted Russia Russia Russia..ok read this
How the Trump-Russia story was buried
I mocked you by typing and posting "But Russia ..." and you flushed like a scared rabbit.
If you were a person of good morality and high learning, you would be considering what Senator Moynihan's daughter had to say. It might explain a few things.
It might be a morality tale for 10 millennia.
If Fauci's position is that this virus was not made in a lab then it is a naturally occurring virus, then his economic version of a nuclear attack on the economy and people's lives and livelihoods cannot possibly be justified and this does appear to be his position. Now, if it is a bio weapon, then MAYBE his policies could be justified. If he put the policies in place to try and contain a bio weapon, he lied by understanding the danger. We've already raked Trump over the proverbial coals for allegedly doing this.
I suspect it's a naturally occurring virus that escaped from a lab as We've been told. We need to introduce the bio weapon canard now because people are losing patience with the shutdowns. Then censor investigations. The idea is to sow doubt so as to justify the current policies. Of course to suggest this means uncomfortable questions directed at China and China has received kid glove treatment. It'll be interesting to see how they navigate this. After all the media will do all they can to protect China.
I agree. Allow Yan to make her case and allow others to review it. Bio weapon or not the key is going to be the human immune system and achieving herd immunity. Shutting down whole segments of the economy delays this, only prolongs the agony, and will not ultimately stop the virus from spreading. It may slow it down but is not likely to stop it in a way that isn't cost prohibitive.
B Poster,
If college Chinese want to immigrate to the US, they feel that they can any time that they want. It is not based on skin color or victimology, but that they are smart, very tough, and hard working and they can make the grade. Whatever bar the US sets in terms of merit, they feel that they can meet it.
So here is my point. If Li-Meng Yan wanted to emigrate to US, Canada, Australia or England, she does not have to cooperate with some faction that has an agenda that might be the flavor this month, but might have fall out and lose to another faction next month. The dominant faction The Democrats, have narrative. It is Russia. China dilutes that narrative and causes problems for their cardboard cutout figurehead Joe Biden. It is possible that if or when the Democrats are back in greater control that they reject an asylum claim and toss her back to the PRC.
So what is in it for Li-Meng Yan?
BTW, the Democrat agenda of COVID scare is losing out to money. The BIG 10 is playing football. Democrats cannot stop it. The disease is not that deadly and people are figuring that out including the people at the BIG 10. In the last month 1 person in their 40's died; they had underlying conditions. Now a person in their 30's died last Friday. I heard via grapevine. I cannot find it in the news. News the last several times has not said whether the people dying in their 70's, 80's and 90's had underlying conditions. So the news is often utterly useless.
People are figuring out that more damage is being done by shutting down and not being productive than staying open for business. The BIG 10 figured it out.
Funny how parrot just cut and pasted the Li-Meng Yan claim. I have work yet to learn virology. I have reasoned via experience that her claim may be true.
Parrot on the other hand simply copied and pasted at 4:35 PM an article frag like the terrible, swift butt hole that he is, because it fits his faction's agenda.
