'Bioweapon engineered by China': Wuhan researcher makes explosive claim about Coronavirus
Covid-19 is a bioweapon: China deliberately engineered coronavirus as a "bioweapon," a researcher in Wuhan has claimed.
Chao Shan made the shocking revelation in an exclusive interview with Jennifer Zeng, a member of the International Press Association who provides first-hand information and unique insights about China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Chao and his colleagues were tasked with selecting the most effective strain for spreading among various species, including humans, according to Chao. Jennifer has shared the entire interview on her blog.
She has also shared a video on her Twitter account in which she outlines what Chao, a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, told her.
According to Jennifer's blog, the interview took place in September 2021. Chao was given four strains of coronavirus by his superior in Nanjing City in 2019 to test which one was the most virulent and transmissible, according to her.
Chao tested the virus on human ACE2 receptor, bats and monkeys and called the coronavirus a "bioweapon."
During the 26-minute interview, he also said that several of his colleagues went missing during the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan. Later, one of them disclosed that they were dispatched to hotels where athletes from other countries were staying in order to "check the health or hygiene conditions." Chao Shan suspected that they were put there to spread the virus because checking hygiene doesn't require virologists.
Jennifer, in response to Chao's claims, stated that it is only a small piece of the puzzle. So far, the true origin of the pandemic that killed nearly 7 million people worldwide or even more, still remains unknown.
