Wuhan lab nominated for top science award in China amid virus leak suspicion

Amid mounting suspicion of a possible virus leak in a lab accident, Wuhan Institute of Virology has been nominated for China's top science award, according to a local media outlet Sina News. The Chinese Academy of Sciences reportedly nominated the Wuhan Institute of Virology for conducting "the most comprehensive and systematic identification research on the aetiology of Covid-19."

"The project's results have laid an important foundation and platform for the follow-up research on the origin, epidemiology, and pathogenic mechanism of the Covid-19 virus," the Chinese Academy of Sciences was quoted as saying in multiple reports.

Shi Zhengli, who directs the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, also received a special mention from the academy. Last year, Shi, known as batwoman for her work on coronaviruses in bats, said that Sars-CoV-2 was just “the tip of the iceberg” and called for an advanced study of the unknown viruses. However, the virologist has repeatedly dismissed the claims of a possible lab leak.

The hypothesis of the introduction of SARS-CoV-2 through a laboratory incident has gained credence in recent weeks, with a renewed demand for a new “transparent” investigation into the virus origin. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which moved a laboratory on December 2, 2019, denied disruptions or incidents caused by the move.

Hmm...

A lab that accidentally leaked a deadly virus wouldn’t be nominated for an award for their work on that virus.

But a lab that followed orders to deliberately unleash a deadly virus would be.

Well, of course.

The Covidiocy has made great strides in promoting Communism, Maoism around the world.

It has weakened the fairly capitalistic first-world nations and helped install Socialist-communist , (or easily bought amoral people)in high political positions in them.

The Wuhan Bioweapons lab (with the assistance of our own evil politicians and bureaucrats in America) has made a Giant Leap Forward in China taking over the whole world, without firing a shot.
