Walter Ian Lipkin, professor of epidemiology at Columbia University, known as a “virus hunter,” revealed in an interview on Fox Business Network that he has tested positive for the CCP virus on March 24.
Lipkin is the director of Columbia University’s Center for Infection and Immunity, and has earned the reputation of a “virus hunter” for his efficiency and innovative methods of identifying new viruses. In the past 30 years, he has been involved in the epidemic control of almost all major contagions in the world, including West Nile virus and SARS. In addition, he has discovered and identified more than 800 viruses causing human, wildlife or domestic animal diseases.
Lipkin’s friendship with the Chinese communist regime probably started in 2003 when he was invited to visit Beijing during the SARS outbreak. Working closely with a team in Beijing headed by then Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Chen Zhu, Lipkin and Chinese medical scientists developed a strategy to combat SARS. He also gifted 10,000 SARS test kits to China.
Subsequently, Lipkin assisted China in setting up disease research institutions such as Institut Pasteur of Shanghai (IPS) and Guangzhou institute of biomedicine and Health. In May 2013, he went to Beijing again and signed a contract with the Virology Institute of China’s Center for Disease Control, to build a collaboration lab for pathogen research. All investment for this project came from the Chinese authorities.
Chinese state media often praise Lipkin for having made “great contribution” to China in the past ten years. In 2015, he was among one of the seven foreign recipients of China’s International Science and Technology Cooperation Award.

On Feb. 24, Lipkin accepted an interview by Yang Lan, a famous TV hostess in China, and made a key statement in support of the Chinese authorities with regard to the origin of the CCP virus.
“What my colleagues and I think happened was that this virus was existing in a bat, probably came into contact with an animal, perhaps in a wild animal market, perhaps an infected human,” he said.
“We don’t think there’s any evidence that this virus was created in the Wuhan Institute of Virology or released accidentally. We think it emerged in nature. It’s a natural problem. And we need to address it as a naturally occurring virus.”
IN CONTRAST TO IAN LIPKIN:
Dr. Lyons-Weiler, the founder and CEO of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge (IPAK), published an article on Jan. 31 stating that medical research found evidence that might suggest the CCP virus could come out from a laboratory-induced event.
He said that “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.”
During the interview with Yang on Feb. 24, Lipkin did not provide any scientific evidence or argument to refute Lyon-Weiler’s statement.
WHO TO BELIEVE?
If its one month later, he didn’t get infected in China.
Ironic, especially if he’s wrong and Dr. Lyons-Weiler is correct, about the presence or absence of a human hand in the creation of this virus.
Also, at this point, one can’t help but wonder if he has any side deals, like Harvard’s Prof. Lieber did.
I’m just wondering what the world would have done if this virus had escaped from an Israeli lab.

Let see what this wackadoodle takes for The Cure.
Maybe Hydroxy/Zith?
Oh, but it’s unproven!
Needs double-blind long term testing for efficacy!
We don’t know if it works.
Stop hyping this fake news!
So, what’s the odds he goes and takes the Trump Pills?
In the beginning they were saying the incubation time was 3-34 days. Who the heck knows for sure how long it could be.
He’s a useful idiot.
Yeah. Me too.
I’ll see your experts and raise you a Brazilian expert, an African expert and a Swissian expert.
Instead of examining the report, most the media have just dismissed it.
I’m trying to work up some sympathy for him. Does anyone have some I could borrow?
That study by Botao Xiao and Lei Xiao entitled “The possible origins of 2019-nCoV coronavirus” was cited as part of the “circumstantial evidence that supports the possibility that a lab release was involved.”
The paper was later removed from ResearchGate, a commercial social-networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers. Thus far, no scientists have confirmed or refuted the paper’s findings.
The facts are that this very brief, paper has not been subjected to the process of peer-review by a scientific journal. In any event, the paper has not been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and therefore not constitute a part of the scientific literature.
Rie down with dog, wake up with frea...Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.
“What my colleagues and I think happened was that this virus was existing in a bat, probably came into contact with an animal, perhaps in a wild animal market, perhaps an infected human,” he said.
“We don’t think there’s any evidence that this virus was created in the Wuhan Institute of Virology or released accidentally. We think it emerged in nature. It’s a natural problem. And we need to address it as a naturally occurring virus.”
Thats an outright lie.
Fauci said the same LIE this morning on FOX.
It has been posted on FR documentation that the University of North Carolina, Chapple Hill was working on it thru a grant from the NIH and that they were in collaboration with the Wuhan Lab.
Fauci was standing in front of the NHI logo this morning when he made that statement.
Additionally, last night there was a statement shown on FOX that they were working on a vaccine and it was being cultured in mouse cells/tissue. This is exactly what led to the retrovirus contamination in the vaccines that Dr. Judy Mikovits exposed. For that she was arrested and her career destroyed. Fauci was a part of that and even threatened her with additional arrest.
IMHO, Fauci is an evil SOB.
For those interested, here is the PDF for the paper:
TITLE: The possible origins of 2019-nCoV Coronavirus
Please note that this is preprinted.
By definition, a preprint is one that is yet to be published in a scientific journal post peer-reviewing. Hence, any claims made in preprints should be considered with caution.
China has allowed those “wet markets” to re-open. Would they do that if they thought that’s where the coronavirus originated?
“Fauci was standing in front of the NHI logo this morning when he made that statement.”
For clarification, he said basically the same thing that Lipkin said.
Wonder if he got to meet the Chinese Army Brigadier General in charge of “research” at Wuhan
