INTERNATIONAL SCIENTISTS COVERED UP THE LAB ORIGIN OF COVID-19

Senior researchers, who were all involved in gain of function virus research and hence unreliable due to conflict of interest, successfully suppressed any further consideration of a lab leak. World opinion was taken in by their reputation and failed to check their explanations or their past activities.

As early as January 2020, many different groups of researchers studied the 2019 novel coronavirus.

Collation of some of their reported findings is very suggestive of the virus having originated in a laboratory. Two of these, one from a group of Wuhan doctors and another from a group of New Delhi researchers are of greatest significance and provide the smoking gun.

A group of 29 Chinese doctors, 7 from Jin Yin-tan Hospital, Wuhan and the rest from various other Chinese hospitals published their findings online in Lancet on 24 January 2020. They prospectively collected and analysed data on 41 patients admitted by 1 January 2020. 2019-ncov infection was confirmed by real-time RT-PCR test. Researchers

also directly communicated with patients or their families to ascertain if they had visited the Huanan seafood market. In this crowded market live wild animals are kept together and sold. The conditions are ideal for exotic viruses to cross over from one wild animal to another and to humans. The other suspected source of infection in Wuhan is the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), where researchers have a large collection of wild coronaviruses and have been genetically manipulating them since many years. The first three patients admitted to hospital in Wuhan on 1 December and 10 Decem
