When Li-Meng Yan was asked to pop into her boss’s office on the final day of last year, she had no idea such a routine summons might be the start of events that would lead to her fleeing her family, her work and her country in fear for her life. The Chinese-born virologist was based at a prestigious Hong Kong university, one of the world’s leading centres for researching infectious diseases and a key part of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) global epidemiology network.
Her professor asked her to find out what she could about a mysterious cluster of virus cases that had erupted in the Chinese city of Wuhan – and through her medical and scientific contacts she claims to have stumbled upon a cover-up of epic proportions.
On January 16, she says Prof Poon asked her to investigate racoon dogs as a potential host species, which she told him was strange considering they were rarely eaten in the region nor seen often in the animal markets.
‘He told me not to cross the red line or I would be disappeared,’ says Dr Yan. ‘This was the invisible line we all keep in our heads since our government is so sensitive about looking bad. Touch it and you are in trouble.’
Yet doctors were being told to only diagnose Wuhan victims with links to Huanan Seafood Market, which was blamed for the virus crossing over to humans through the wild animals on sale. ‘They wanted to say the disease came from the market,’ says Dr Yan.

So, as the death toll rose, Dr Yan felt she had a moral and scientific duty to blow the whistle on how the Communist regime deliberately covered up the eruption of this devastating disease. ‘I realised this was an emergency for the world,’ she says.
‘I could not stay silent. I could see China was covering up the truth and I had to do something since I was a professional who could explain i
Chinese public health officials who pointed the finger at the market on January 1 eventually admitted four months later that the virus did not erupt on the site after a series of studies challenged their claims. Dr Yan says she could see there was a cover-up with ‘terrible things’ happening.
‘The market was a smokescreen. I knew I had to somehow deliver a message to the world but I didn’t want to be disappeared before I could deliver my warning.’
The timing was significant. In public, officials downplayed the threat as millions of people began moving around the country for their Chinese New Year festivities and Wuhan held a mass banquet for residents. The WHO had also failed to alert the world properly.

igins and extent of the crisis. But she feared he lacked the expertise to explain her concerns, while she could see her information was not reaching the wider world.
In April, the broadcaster suddenly warned Dr Yan that she was in danger, with security services closing in on his source. As a result, she tried to persuade her husband they must flee but he was furious over her actions, fearing Beijing’s power, and refused to join her.
‘We had been together for seven years. I thought we had a sweet married life, going to work together and living together, but I realised he was totally scared of the Communist Party.’
On April 28 she boarded a flight to Los Angeles with minimal luggage to avoid suspicion, knowing she would never see her parents again or be allowed to return to her birthplace. ‘I could hardly breathe I was so scared,’ she says.
When she landed, she begged US border officials not to send her back to China, explaining she had come to tell the truth about Covid-19 and her background. They allowed her to remain and she says she has briefed their intelligence agencies. Within hours of her departure, Chinese authorities ransacked her home and office, questioning her family and threatening her friends. Her parents have tearfully accused her of lying and betraying the nation. Dr Yan also says she was smeared on social media with fake accounts designed to destroy her reputation.
Although Dr Yan lacks first-hand evidence on the origins of Covid-19, she believes it is derived from the ‘Zhoushan viruses’, which were extracted from bats between 2015 and 2017. The virologist argues that studies published earlier this year indicate these viruses have similar genetic sequences to Sars-Cov-2 and could have provided the ‘backbone’ for construction of a virus that may even have been deliberately released.
I think a little of both. She has disappeared from China to the U.S. I’ll post a bunch of the article so you don’t have to go to DM’s site. It’s full of adds and pop ups I know. Pain.
Now the brilliant 36-year-old scientist is in hiding in the US, and we spoke on Skype.
Details of how she secretly collated evidence in her laboratory at night, then finally even abandoned her husband to flee abroad when she learned the security net was tightening, make her story sounds like a movie thriller. She fears the disease may have been created on purpose, linked to ‘reckless’ experiments on bat coronaviruses carried out in military laboratories. Certainly, the origins of this mysterious virus remain clouded in confusion.
Yet one thing is incontrovertible: Dr Yan was a fast-rising Chinese scientist, based at a major laboratory with work published by leading academic journals, who suddenly fled to the US in April. And if her astonishing core claims are correct, they provide damning evidence into the extent of the Chinese Communist Party’s cover-up of the pandemic.
Thanks. Prayers up for her safety and her husband’s too. Sounds like he’s in just as bad a position as she is.
Yes...and even though he chose not to support her. Sad really.
Okay, that's too high profile but in a just world that would happen.
I believe this is worth repeating:
“Yet doctors were being told to only diagnose Wuhan victims with links to Huanan Seafood Market, which was blamed for the virus crossing over to humans through the wild animals on sale. ‘They wanted to say the disease came from the market,’ says Dr Yan.”
Sound familiar? Here they attribute death as cause of anyone who perishes with the virus antibodies regardless if it was truly the final reason for their demise.
Yes, in a just world honest people would be in power. Those willing to sacrifice as she did. Her family, marriage, country of birth, and put her own life in danger. Rare gem she is.
Fauci, the Wuhan lab, and the Chinese government are guilty as Hell.
Oh, Fauci knows the truth. Has to.
Heavy duty.
The only one that will be broadcasting this in the U.S. is Trump because the Lying Leftist Media is so corrupt.
Good, informative read. Very inspirational woman. Thanks for the Post.
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.
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
