A scientist from China has published research claiming that the coronavirus came from a military laboratory in China and not from a market in Wuhan.
Dr. Li Meng-Yan, a physician specializing in virology at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, published the study on an open website called Zenote. The academic paper shows how SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) can be "created in a laboratory environment for six months."
The paper is entitled Unusual Characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome, suggesting sophisticated laboratory modification rather than "natural evolution".
The doctor writes:
"The theory of natural origin, although widely accepted, has no substantial support."
She continues:
"The alternative theory that the virus may have come from a research laboratory is, however, strictly censored in peer-reviewed scientific journals."
However, according to her, Covid-19 shows biological characteristics that "are not compatible with a naturally occurring zoonotic virus."
In an interview on British television station Loose Women on Friday, the doctor said that "the virus comes from a laboratory and is controlled by the Chinese government." She claims to be one of the first scientists in the world to study the coronavirus.
Other scientists have disputed Dr Yan's claim, including a report from Live Science on Mars, which definitively stated:
"SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a deliberately manipulated virus."
In response to its claims, the Chinese National Health Commission said in a statement:
"The fact is that there is no delay or concealment from the Chinese government. Once the cases were identified in the city of Wuhan, China acted immediately to conduct investigations and stop the spread of the disease."
Even the World Health Organization has said many times that "there is no evidence that the new coronavirus is created in a laboratory."
