NEW DELHI: China engineered Covid-19 as a “bioweapon” to purposely infect people, a researcher at Wuhan Institute of Virology claimed.
In an exclusive interview, Chao Shao, a researcher from Wuhan claimed that his colleagues were given four strains of the virus to find out which could spread best.
In the twenty-six-minute interview to Jennifer Zeng, a member of the International Press Association, Chao Shao shares an anecdote of how another researcher Shan Chao from the Wuhan Institute of Virology admitted his superior asked him to test and to find out which virus had the best ability to infect as many species as possible, and also to find out how easy it was to infect other species including human.
Chao Shao also called the coronavirus a “bioweapon.”
He also said that several of his colleagues went missing during the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan.
Later, one of them revealed that they were sent to hotels where athletes from various countries were staying to “check the health or hygiene conditions.” Since checking hygiene doesn’t require virologists, Chao Shan suspected that they were sent there to spread the virus.
“Furthermore, in April 2020, Chao Shan said that he was sent to Xinjiang to check the health status of the Uyghurs who were imprisoned in the re-education camps so that they could be released sooner. Once again, since conducting health checks doesn’t require a virologist, he strongly implied that he was sent there to either spread the virus or to observe how the virus worked on humans,” Chao Shao said.
However, as the whistleblower mentioned during the interview, this is just a small piece of the entire puzzle. So far, the true origin of the pandemic that has caused nearly 7 million deaths worldwide, or even more, is still under exploration.
