The Chinese scientist who alleges that the coronavirus that has spread throughout the world was man-made emerged for an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. Dr. Li-Meng Yan came forward recently to allege that the coronavirus was a lab-manufactured disease that did not come from nature and that the wet market story was a “smoke screen” aimed to pivot attention away from this virus’ apparent release. Dr. Yan said that this virus was China’s Frankenstein monster. Carlson asked about China’s motives in creating this virus if it is man-made, which Dr. Yan said you’d have to ask the Chinese Communist Party.
“We cannot always understand their evil thinking,” she said. You have to ask them. They released it. When the Fox News host later asked if this was an intentional outbreak, Dr. Yan said it was, and added that you don’t really need to read the tea leaves to see what the government has done to cover this up. Let’s circle back to Fox News’ April story, where sources told them that this was the “costliest government cover-up of all time.” The story also alleged that the virus was created in a laboratory, but not as a weapon.
It was part of “China's effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States.”
We knew that Chinese scientists destroyed samples of the pathogen back in December of 2019. Vloggers and citizen journalists trying to document life during the outbreak have vanished. Doctors who tried to warn the wider public of the dangers were being strong-armed. China sat on their hands for nearly a week knowing this outbreak would spread. They also knew about human-to-human transmission while saying something totally different to the public.
Dr. Yan said she will be publishing a report detailing her evidence that the coronavirus was made in a lab soon. She detailed her credentials on the show as well (via RCP):
Coronavirus whistleblower speaks out about possible COVID origin on 'Tucker'
I work[ed] in the WHO reference lab which is the top coronavirus lab in the world, in the University of Hong Kong. And the thing is I get deeply into such investigation in secret from the early beginning of this outbreak. I had my intelligence because I also get my own unit network in China, involved [in] the hospital ... also I work with the top corona[virus] virologist in the world... So, together with my experience, I can tell you, this is created in the lab ... and also, it is spread to the world to make such damage."
We’ll see. We need that report
The communist Chinese knew the western progressives would react the way they have because they planned it with them!! That the plan was and is so successful is the only surprise!
Come on, man!!!
Nov 2019 is probably when it was actually released to the West Coast.
RE: Chinese general. Last 20 years or so. Look it up yourself. I’m not your librarian.
I’ll take that as “I’m just saying this for the heck of it”.
Yes, those communists are known for respecting the sanctity of life. (eye roll)
It's that, if COVID-19 evolved naturally, you'd see the furin-19 cleavage site, in its nearest relatives: the most closely related coronaviruses.
BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.
And then you go to the coronaviruses that DO have a furin cleavage site.
And their genetic sequence, around the spike, is only a 60% match to the COVID-19 spike.
AND (which you conveniently left out) COVID-19's spike, has on either side of it, genetic sequences which are used to cut-and-paste sections of genes in the lab.
Why are you quoting the Daily Beast?
Why are you spreading baldfaced lies about Yan's argument?
'COVID-19's furin site is unique and not found in nature' IS NOT THE SAME THING AS
'there has never been a furin cleavage site anywhere else'.
“But China DID suffer the results. Wuhan had tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousand ( unreported ) of deaths.”
Acceptable incidental fatalities. If you think the Chinese government has the even the slightest concern about killing their own citizens to enhance their power, you really ARE naive.
An accidental leak much earlier than reported - followed by a deliberate spread to the West to make sure China didn’t go down alone. And Trump knows it. He has made oblique references to it several times, but the MSM seems to think he is just talking about China being careless.
I think the same. Trump is pissed. He is not showing it much, but it is there when he speaks about it. He did a 180 in how he spoke about China and the virus in the midst of this and few seemed to notice. He has not spoken to Xi since that moment.
Our national labs know this. The key thing she stated was that the virus was a “Frankenstein” in that it used coronavirus as its core, but had pieces of other viruses in the genome.
This is not difficult to prove and our labs would know it. You could not hide it.... it would be obvious. Tucker’s Doctor of Doom afterwards remained skeptical but said one other thing that corroborated her - the unusual impact of this virus on various organs still confuses him. “We have not seen anything like this.”
Stay tuned.
RE: Why are you spreading baldfaced lies about Yan’s argument?
I am simply quoting the Columbia University virologist. Your argument should be with her, not me, and it should be a SCIENCE BASED argument, not an ad hominem attack ( e.g., Steve Bannon was behind the paper’s publication ).
There have been experts on both sides of the issues. Let me copy and paste a post from a different thread:
A different article with a discussion of the issue. Some scientists say no, another Russian scientist says, yes manufactured. (Dueling Russian Scientists!)

“Scientific assessments of the lab escape theory
On April 17 the Australian Science Media Centre asked four Australian virologists: “Did COVID-19 come from a lab in Wuhan?“
Three (Edward Holmes, Nigel McMillan and Hassan Vally) dismissed the lab escape suggestion and Vally simply labeled it, without elaboration, a “conspiracy”. (No bias here!)
The fourth virologist interviewed was Nikolai Petrovsky of Flinders University. Petrovsky first addressed the question of whether the natural zoonosis pathway was viable. He told the Media Centre:
“no natural virus matching to COVID-19 has been found in nature despite an intensive search to find its origins.”
And a Norweigan Viralogist:
“A new study about the possible origin of the coronavirus has found that Covid-19 is not natural in origin.
The study, led by Norwegian virologist Birger Sorensen, has found that the coronavirus’s spike protein contains sequences that appear to be artificially inserted.
“The inserted sequences should never have been published. Had it been today, it would never have happened. It was a big mistake the Chinese made. The inserted sequences have a functionality that we describe. We explain why t...”
(Link to story behind a pay-firewall.)
I believe there are MERITS to opening up the paper to the public like you and me to read instead of submitting it to a scientific journal peer review which may or may not even be published.
That means IN EFFECT, an open peer review ( both pros and cons ) for everyone, even in the scientific community to refute or support.
My personal verdict as of today: My verdict: Possible... still needs to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Agree with the title; both counts.
Yan’s argument IS science.
The DailyBeast is spreading ink in the water, by deliberately misquoting Yan’s argument.
And doing so in a way that plants in the casual user’s mind, the idea that Yan is misinformed (’Acktsually, there are all kinds of furin cleavages in coronaviruses, unlike Yan who said COVID_19’s furin is unique and not found in nature.’)
But YAN never said that! YAN said that THAT PARTICULAR GENETIC SEQUENCE for a furin cleavage site, doesn’t exist in nature.
And it is proven beyond the possibility of a shadow of a doubt, because the very virus given by the “natural occurence” apologists,
a) never shared a host with the Coronavirus precursors
b) indications are that it apparently can’t even infect its own supposed natural host (that is, it was most likely engineered too)
Lol!
Did slaveowners not respect the health of their own slaves for profit. The point is not to kill them but to control and use them. Its very easy to understand.
Now, what does this prove? It proves that China is reckless with its bioweapons technology. They issued new protocols for their high level biolabs after that, I believe in November. So the question is, does China really have control of its bioweapons?
Wow! If we had honest media, somebody would’ve asked that question!
Open Philanthropy Project. Interesting.
The usual suspects. Soros also in the background?

My point
China “alone” did not bear the results
Shared with the world
Military thinking
If you’re going down, take the enemy with you
Looks like cracks are starting to show in the Chinese Communist Party.
World will keep closer tabs on them.
