Yesterday The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article which contains more questions than answers about the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Chinese regime has said\u00a0its controversial virology institute had no relationship with the military, but the institute worked with military leaders on a government-sponsored project for almost a decade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Wuhan Institute of Virology<\/a> (WIV) participated in a project, sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)\u2014a regime-funded scientific research institution\u2014from 2012 to 2018. The project was comprised of a team of five military and civil experts, who conducted research at WIV labs, military labs, and other civil labs leading to \u201cthe discovery of animal pathogens [biological agents that causes disease] in wild animals.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The WIV is located in central China\u2019s Wuhan<\/a> City, the COVID-19 pandemic ground zero. As an advanced virology institution, the WIV has the only P4 lab\u2014the highest biosafety level lab\u2014in China and the biggest repository of bat coronaviruses in Asia. The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus<\/a>, commonly known as novel coronavirus, is \u201c96 percent identical at the whole-genome level to a bat coronavirus,\u201d Chinese researchers wrote in a research article\u00a0(pdf<\/a>) published in February 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In recent months, the Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry and Shi Zhengli, the WIV virologist nicknamed \u201cBat Woman\u201d for her research on coronaviruses of bat origin, denied there is a connection between the WIV and military, and said that no WIV researchers were infected with COVID-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, according to an\u00a0investigation\u00a0conducted by the U.S. State Department, \u201cseveral researchers inside the WIV became sick in autumn 2019, before the first identified case of the outbreak, with symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illnesses.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe WIV has engaged in classified research, including laboratory animal experiments, on behalf of the Chinese military since at least 2017,\u201d states a State Department fact sheet<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, Shi denied that the WIV engaged in research with the Chinese military. \u201cI don\u2019t know of any military work at the WIV. That information is incorrect,\u201d Shi said at a public webinar on March 23. Shi didn\u2019t mention that the WIV was used by a Chinese military medical team in early 2020 for developing COVID-19 vaccines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the link above to read the entire article. What we do know is that the Chinese Communist government has not been forthcoming with information about the virus, how it is spread, or any information that would help in the development of a vaccine. It is entirely\u00a0 possible that the coronavirus is a planned biological weapon that was released accidentally. I am not sure whether we will ever be able to confirm that or rule it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
