Did China unleash covid-19? – 2

By Modesto P. Sa-onoy

In our previous column we referred to the report of LifeSiteNews citing the German newspaper, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, telling a “riveting details to the story on how the pandemic reached beyond the boundaries of China and into the world.  The insider information comes from interviews with French scientists directly involved with the effort.”

“That the French delivered the turn-key, high-containment biolab to China has long been public knowledge” and to further authentic its report, the German newspaper said “another notable who attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony was Dr. Shi Zhengli, who is known as China’s ‘bat woman’ for her work with bat coronaviruses.

“Dr. Shi has long had a French connection, having received her PhD at the University of Montpellier in France in 2000.  In the run up to the opening of the Wuhan P4 lab, she received many months of intensive training at France’s only P4-lab, the Jean-Mérieux-Lab located in Lyon.  She was the one who—after the French were sent packing–was supposed to ensure that the staff was trained in the strict safety protocols of P4 labs and see that these were always carefully followed.”

Shi Zhengli had admitted to Scientific American that she initially wondered whether the coronavirus could have come from her lab.  She was greatly relieved, she says, after a careful examination of her research records revealed that “none of the sequences [of the CCP Virus] matched those of the viruses her team had sampled from bat caves.”

But there is another group of coronaviruses that are not found in “bat caves.”  These are the novel coronaviruses that are only found in Dr. Shi’s P4 lab because she herself is creating them.  For years, she has been using recombinant technology to create “enhanced” coronaviruses that are more infectious and more deadly than their natural analogs.  The goal of this “Gain-of-Function” research is, quite simply, to create “superbugs” for research purposes.  The CCP Virus seems to be one of these.

The German newspaper continue to claim that since no foreign researchers, French or otherwise, have been allowed to conduct research at Dr. Shi’s lab, or to independently examine her research records, “we currently have no way to directly verify that this is so.”  And with the Communist Party “disappearing those who deviate from the Party line, no Chinese witnesses to this fact are likely to come forward.  It might well cost them their lives.  As for Dr. Shi herself, China’s bat woman probably does not want to become known as China’s plague-woman.”

LifeSiteNews continue to say that more details about the French lab fiasco come from a book called France – Chine: Les Liasons dangereuses by the French expert on China, Antoine Izambard.

He states “that the Chinese systematically sidelined the French from the very beginning of the construction of the lab.  Once the French engineers had turned over the blueprints, Chinese equipment suppliers suddenly moved in, undercutting the prices offered by French suppliers by cutting corners and using materials of low quality.”

The confirmatory reports now emerging world-wide has created an international demand for China to be made accountable for the covid-19 pandemic and one state in the US is poised to file criminal charges against the Chinese government and we can expect the case will also demand financial compensation.

Al Jazzera also reported that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday (May 3) said “enormous evidence” showed the new coronavirus originated in a lab in China, further fueling tensions with Beijing over its handling of the outbreak.”

Following up Pompeo’s charge, US President Donald Trump, has become “increasingly critical of China’s management of the first outbreak in the city of Wuhan in December” and earlier “claimed to have proof it started in a Chinese laboratory.”

China has debunked these claims but only with denials without disproving the facts of the charge. China claimed last December that the virus came from an animal market and the world swallowed that claim although some said it came from a laboratory. Now the evidence show that China lied.

Granting that the virus came from the market, why did China arrest the doctor that exposed the appearance of the virus and released him only after the pandemic had already spread world-wide?

The virus was discovered spreading in November and China hid the fact. Why when it could have been contained there?
