Notably, several theories have come up in the past six months regarding the origin of the virus. However, the scientific community across the world has suggested that the COVID emerged from a bat-borne virus.
New Delhi: A Chinese virologist has claimed that the COVID virus was made in government-controlled laboratory in Wuhan. In a video interview, Dr. Li-Meng Yan also claimed that she has a scientific proof regarding the virus origin. She also stressed that when she had alerted the Chinese authorities of the impending danger due to the virus, they did not pay heed to her warnings.
China, where the first case of coronavirus came to light last year, has maintained that the virus originated from a wet market in Wuhan. The Chinese virologist dismissed the claim as “a smokescreen.”
“This virus is not from nature,”WION quoted Yan as saying. “The genome sequence is like a human finger print. So based on this you can identify these things. I use the evidence … to tell people why this has come from the lab in China, why they are the only ones who made it.”
Yan is currently in the US and has been researching on the virus since the last year. She said she was being threatened by the authorities in China, so, she had to flee to the US following safety concerns.
