As the curtain is being pulled back on behind-the-scenes events surrounding the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, a new report says a scientist working with the Chinese Communist Party was trying to patent a vaccine for the virus before most of the world knew it even existed.
Emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci that have been unearthed have revealed that even as he publicly said the virus was almost certainly of natural origin, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases had an inkling that the Wuhan Institute of Virology might have had a hand in the development of the virus, according to the New York Post.
Now comes a report from The Australian that a Chinese military scientist who had financial support from America’s National Institutes of Health was seeking a patent for a vaccine in February 2020. The report, which is behind a paywall, was summarized by the Post.
Zhou Yusen filed his patent on Feb. 24, 2020, at which time the U.S. had reported only a handful of cases, according to the Australian. At the time, the world had only been told five weeks prior that human-to-human transmission was even possible, so tightly had China controlled news of the outbreak. --->READ MORE HERE
Former Trump administration coronavirus testing czar Adm. Brett Giroir said Thursday it is possible that COVID-19 may have been part of a Chinese offensive bioweapons program.
Giroir emphasized during a Fox News interview with host Bill Hemmer the most likely explanation for the start of the pandemic was an accidental lab leak of the virus.
He pointed to a World Health Organization report released in March, “which showed definitively there was no environmental source.”
“There was no intermediary host,” Giroir further explained. “There was really nothing linking this to any virus in the natural world, but on the other side, the evidence was becoming compelling.”
The former assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services noted the presence of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which was doing research on bat coronaviruses within five miles of where the COVID outbreak is believed to have occurred. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories and resources:
