The so-called US intelligence report on sick staff at the Wuhan Institute of Virology is an outright lie that came from nowhere, Yuan Zhiming, director of the institute's Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory, told the Global Times on Monday, refuting the latest report from the Wall Street Journal about an undisclosed US intelligence report indicating three researchers from the lab became sick in November 2019.

"I've read it, it's a complete lie," Yuan said when he was asked by the Global Times on Monday morning about the WSJ story, which was published on Sunday titled "Intelligence on Sick Staff at Wuhan Lab Fuels Debate on COVID-19 Origin".

The story, citing an unpublished report that was issued during the final days of the Trump administration, said several researchers at the lab became sick in the autumn of 2019 with symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illnesses.

"Those claims are groundless. The lab has not been aware of this situation [sick researchers in autumn 2019], and I don't even know where such information came from," the Chinese researcher told the Global Times.

WSJ published the story on the eve of the World Health Assembly, which is expected to discuss the next phase of the research into COVID-19's origins, the US media report said.

US politicians and media outlets have again been pursuing the lab leak theory as the origin of COVID-19, despite scientists from the WHO-China joint study team concluding in a full report after field study in Wuhan that a lab leak is extremely unlikely.

The lab leak theory was a baseless argument from the beginning, which is the consensus of global scientists, according to experts from the joint team.

The report, generated in March after WHO experts visited Wuhan, suggested COVID-19 came about from transmissions between animals and humans, and transmissions through frozen food

Evil US regime lies all the time.

That's right. The only thing Wuhan lab was doing was harmless flu shot research. Nothing about coronaviruses.

 

[shanlung]

We seen how Murica create lies.

From genocide and torture of Uighurs and slave labour to collect cotton
And that Hong Kong woman who lost an eye to police brutality and now suddenly found to have 2 intact and beautiful eyes

West have absolutely no problem and no moral backbone to stop them from creating even more lies as suit their temperament.

Anything to throw smoke on how stupidly and how badly they handled Covid19.

So more lies created by West to hide their tracks of stupidity and cupidity.

 

[denel]

just coverup continues; lies upon lies.

why was WHO not given complete access; plus access to the mine where original samples came from back in 2013? Why is it that all research papers miraculously have disappeared and all coronavirus research in China now only available to be reviewed after a central committee review is done.

Further more I would not waste my time reading or debating imaginary and fabricated lies posted by the usual trolls in here which totally ignore science and facts.

And I will advise the rest of the more honorable members to do the same.

 

[Splurgenxs]

Yes of course the only truths are coming out of China and Pakistan. Which have achieved glorious victory over this meance.
I mean smaller well organized countries like Japan and Singapore even cannot claim that.

Kudos to China and Pakistan , and good luck to its people.
