Chinese lab ordered shut by Shanghai Health Commission a day after publishing Coronavirus genome

A research facility in Shanghai was shut down a day after it released information about the virus ahead of authorities.

The Shanghai laboratory where researchers published the world’s first genome sequence of the new coronavirus has been shut down.

The laboratory at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center was ordered to close for “rectification” on January 12, a day after it publicized the genetic makeup of a new virus that would go on to sicken more than 89,000 people globally.

“The center was not given any specific reasons why the laboratory was closed for rectification,” a source with the center said, requesting anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

“The closure has greatly affected the scientists and their research when they should be racing against the clock to find the means to help put the novel coronavirus outbreak under control,” the source said.

It was not clear whether the closure was related to the publishing of the sequencing data ahead of the authorities.

But the abrupt closure raised further questions about the authorities’ initial handling of the epidemic.

Police in the central city of Wuhan in late December reprimanded several doctors for telling others about a possible outbreak.

The death of Dr Li Wenliang, one of several people who tried to sound an early alarm, in February led to a torrent of anger at Beijing for failing to stop the virus before it went on to claim at least 3,000 lives worldwide, mostly in China.

The release of the data by a team of scientists, led by Professor Zhang Yongzhen, helped researchers develop test kits for the virus.

The lab had submitted four requests to reopen but had received no responses, the source told the South China Morning Post.

The closure order was issued by the Shanghai Health Commission.

I hope this isn’t what awaits those scientists who published this without waiting for govt approval

China is afraid of something in that data.

Can’t publish info about the Democrat’s Virus to stop Trump now can we?

Commie Chinese are in bed with the Democrats to oust Trump, this is their only and last chance.

Can’t have some lab publish the research on the virus, that would mean a cure could be created as well. Can’t have that.

IF the virus originated in the “Wet Market” as the Chinese Gov’t has been promoting heavily since the outbreak went public why would they go after this lab for publishing the Genome map? Hmmm?
However, if it came from one of the two BioWeapons labs in that province, as many have suspected, I can see why they would not be happy about these folks publishing the Genome map.

Oh no, that’s not suspicious at all...

The lab was shut down because the hastily published genome will reveal that the COVID19 virus was artificially created.

“Rectification” — graduate level programs taught at the nearby campus. Unfortunately, not offered through teleschool.

For greater certainty I give you this quote from the artcle I referenced:

“After an overall analysis of the Wuhan Coronavirus gene, a team of Greek experts released a report on January 27, 2020 saying that they studied and analyzed the genetic relationship of Wuhan virus and found that “the genes of the new Coronavirus has no close genetic relationship with other viruses in the sarbecvirus subgenus“, and the virus has a special intermediate segment that no other Coronavirus has, and this gene happens to be the key to helping the virus invade host cells.

These research findings indicate that Wuhan virus is a new type of Coronavirus and overthrew the author’s original assumption that Wuhan virus originated from random natural mutations between different Coronaviruses. In other words, the author believes that the Wuhan virus did not evolve naturally.”

You will see nothing of this reported in the US news, its just far too sensitive.

Has this analysis been replicated elsewhere other than in Greece ?

“Chinese lab ordered shut by Shanghai Health Commission a day after publishing Coronavirus genome”

well, now we’ll never know what the coronvirus genome really is because this is the only lab in the world that can sequence a virus genome ...

Surprised they didn’t just torch the place to hide everything. Or would that have been too obvious??

LOL...darn, I just knew there wasn’t something right about that pic. Thanks for correcting me.

Thank God there weren’t your run-of-the-mill deplorables. We might be safe for another five years.

On the Origins of the 2019-nCoV Virus, Wuhan, China by James Lyons-Weiler in Cures, January 30, 2020

The disease progression in of 2019-nCoV is consistent with those seen in animals and humans vaccinated against SARS and then challenged with re-infection. Thus, the hypothesis that 2019-nCoV is an experimental vaccine type must be seriously considered.

Evidence for: Sequence homology between INS1378 to pShuttle Coronavirus vaccine; presence of a SARS-like Spike protein in bat coronavirus, otherwise most similar to bat coronaviruses; low bootstrap value.

Evidence against: Low sequence homology (but highly signifiant). NB these viruses are RNA viruses and they can evolve quickly, even under laboratory conditions.

Status: Most likely.

Test: Determine the nucleotide sequence all laboratory types of coronavirus being studied in China (a match will confirm). Find an isolate that matches 2019-nCoV in the wild and reproducibly independently isolate the virus from a wild animal (a match will falsify).

The available evidence most strongly supports that the 2019-NCoV virus is a vaccine strain of coronavirus either accidentally released from a laboratory accident, perhaps a laboratory researcher becoming infected with the virus while conducting animal experiments, or the Chinese were performing clinical studies of a Coronavirus vaccine in humans.

Dr. Dale Brown brought to my attention the studies that have reported serious immunopathology in animals – rats, ferrets, and monkeys – in which animals vaccinated against coronoviruses tended to have extremely high rates of respiratory failure upon subsequent exposure in the study when challenged with the wild-type coronavirus.

They will be lucky if that’s all they get.

The lab in India was villified by the scientific community for it’s sequencing report on unnatural gene inserts in this coronavirus.

Yes, you also see the true point of our problem.

The nugatory question is:

Was the release of this artificially created virus COVID-19 accidental or strategic.

This is a question likely being addressed in secret by various intelligence agencies around the world.

In any event, because of China’s COVID-19 debacle, China’s world wide hegemony attempts are now in drastic failure mode.China’s ascendance in the world is at an end, which will make China very, very dangerous, because if history is our guide, Red China will now exercise its military “solutions.”

The Chinese have reverted to international bullying, and extortion, for example, and as a result the Chinese have become hated in Africa:

1) China turns the screws on Eswatini
