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

A group of Chinese virologists released a strange new paper on Monday that claims the new coronavirus was engineered in a Chinese lab.

One of the virologists, Li-Meng Yan, told the Fox News host Tucker Carlson it was a "man-made virus" that the Chinese government released "intentionally."

Yan and her coauthors work for groups cofounded by the former Trump strategist Steve Bannon. He directed the groups before his arrest in August.

Some members of the Trump administration have pushed a fringe theory that the virus accidentally leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, but there's no evidence of this.

“Some members of the Trump administration have pushed a fringe theory ...”

Kind of like relativity theory or quantum theory or Boltzmann’s statistical thermodynamics. “Fringe theories” until they weren’t. That is science.

RE: The scientist that first isolated the aids virus concurs with this woman’s analysis. He said he wasn’t scared to tell the truth like most others.

Even one of the most prominent Microbiologist in Australia, Nikolai Petrovsky, whose team is developing a vaccine for COVID-19,d says that this virus, upon close genomic inspection, could not have come from nature.

And note this report from the Daily Telegraph:

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/coronavirus/the-covid-files-australianfunded-coronavirus-paper-used-in-chinese-military-facility/news-story/7241a6b112816f3951495e0fa52ed2aa

It at least corroborates one allegation by Dr. Li Meng Yan that sequencing and virus isolation was done by laboratories run by the People’s Liberation Army in China.

What we CANNOT as of now, give absolute credibility to YET, is her accusation that it was deliberately engineererd as a bioweapon.

I still find this notion that they would deliberately do it to be incredible.

“ I still find this notion that they would deliberately do it to be incredible.”

Do you recall the Secret briefings given to Congress and POTUS when this first started, and how quickly we went from calm to calamity?

I’m not read-in on this pandemic, but I guarantee that we know a lot more than has been released by the mainstream press. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out this was man made, and, in my opinion, a lot of faith to believe this was a biological (warfare) agent that was released, either accidentally or on purpose. The only questions left for conspiracy theorists are why and why now?

I saw that interview and my intuition and a bit of medical knowledge tells me that she is very credible. Truth now is bowing the knee to politics in America and Science is becoming a victim to the lust for power among the elites. That is why they have not really sought to learn where this virus really came from. In former days, long ago, the media would have been on that question like a dog with a bone. Now, everything is manipulated for the sake of politics, even if no speck of truth can be found in it. Tucker is extremely popular because he will never jump on the band wagon with others. He checks things out for himself.

All you need to know: “Aylin Woodward is a science and environment reporter for Business Insider in New York City. She is a proud graduate of the UC Santa Cruz Science ...” Frankly, no one should be proud of graduating from the Marxist-dominated UC Santa Cruz.

I was told by a doc friend of mine (former USA officer, CBW expert) this back in early May.

It is and has been provable. Normal tan dog with black head, nature. Cow with deer head, rabbit ears, and monkey hands, not nature.

All of the PhD level work has been out for 6 months.

But it’s just so easy for the dissemblers to go back to “Covid 19 is just a normal brown dog with a black head.”

Even if the scientific papers have been out for half a year.

Fauci himself is a “black hat.”

When “gain of function” (create new viral Frankensteins in the lab) was banned in the USA, he kept the funding going to the Wuhan Lab.

This is why he stays on Team Trump: it’s the optimal place to cover his guilt while staying a “hero.”

Bingo. What choice did she have? Had she not gotten involved with Bannon she might be dead now at the hands of the ChiCom security apparatus.

Tru, the part about it being deliberately released is unprovable at this time.

But it being a man-made Frankenstein is beyond doubt.

Brown dog with black head: nature.

Cow with deer head, rabbit ears and monkey hands: man made.

Yep, she’d be dead. Or way too afraid to find a way to safely go on Tucker’s show. She’d be at bare survival level, hiding in motels on no budget, fearing an assassin every minute.

I am NOT accusing her of being wrong.

My point is that serious claims have to be shown in scientific terms, not layman’s terms, because layman’s terms do not show the science.

If that science from her already exists, in a scientific form, even Fox needs to refer readers to it.

And if you say it already exists, then where is it?

Without it she will lose the media rounds due to the “Bannon” charge, even though she could be totally right.

I AM with her, but “show me the hard data” not just “layman’s” claims.

OK, here's a previous thread that documents the scientific evidence:

Thanks.

I am going to try to condense the hard science stuff (from the multiple links in the link you sent me), and make an outline references.

Someone send her a bottle. Maybe she’ll drink it.

Bannon, whose arrest is co-ordinated by the CPP, is part of a
Republic of China movement, along with Miles Guo. Guo is a billionaire defector from Communist China and their Public enemy #1. Navarro is CCP Public Enemy #2 and Steve Bannon is Public Enemy #3.

Guo has a rap song “Take Down The CCP” that is going viral. The music video was available via YT as recently as day before yesterday, but you never know.

Bannon’s War room Pandemic show on One America’s Voice broadcasts daily across the world and in Mandarin across the CPP firewall.

Bannon assists Chinese defectors and whistleblowers. He gives them a platform.

Yan’s papers have other authors. More scientists are coming forward to substantiate her findings re: COVID.

I believe Yan worked at a HK university lab and in that capacity had access to the virus/sequence.

This article is a CCP hitpiece.

Anyone willing to reject the findings of Yan and her co-authors and other scientists defying the CCP can tune in to Steve Bannon’s War room Pandemic (tomorrow’s episodes are 392 & 393. Search in a non-goog engine by show title/date/episode #, as YT and other CCP-supporting platforms make the show difficult to find by episode #)

Bannon is working hard on getting out the GOP vote and he is publicly attacking the progs.

The show is not just him. He has great co-hosts and terrific guests. Online 9-11 am daily and back episodes are available on their website.

...their story line. Tip off, they always refer just to CCP, which most people would just say the Chinese government.
____________________________________

Not a *story line*, but a Resistance movement dedicated to bringing down the CCP and replacing it with a Chinese Republic.

CCP is a handy way to exempt the Chinese people from criticism, since they are political captives. “Chinese government* is inaccurate, because it is the Inner Party, the CCP, that is the target.

I listen to War Room regularly. I’ve heard Yan on several platforms. Rather than sounding *coached*, I felt her facts jibed with those of the Free China movement and were consistent with facts presented by other defectors/targets of the CCP and its lackeys.

her accusation that it was deliberately engineered as a bioweapon.

I am not convinced that was the point she was trying to make. She is speaking English as a second language and the way things are said in Chinese is quite different than in our language. She also is a scientist, not a polished public speaker in a second language.

What she has been clear about, and her paper, and other research supports, is that the COVID-19 virus does not appear to have a natural origin. It may well have been a gain of function experiment that leaked out from a research lab. And that may fit the definition of "intentional" in the view of a native Chinese speaker.

There has been plenty of evidence produced that would support a theory based on a containment failure at the Wuhan laboratory. "Intentional" could just mean some idiot at the lab took a sample home with them to share it with a research colleague and dropped it by accident.
