Wuhan Institute of Virology: Man-made coronavirus beyond human intelligence

https://youtu.be/aswAvwZeVoI

BEIJING: The director of a maximum-security laboratory in China's coronavirus ground-zero city of Wuhan has rejected claims that it could be the source of the outbreak, calling it "impossible".

Beijing has come under increasing pressure over transparency in its handling of the pandemic, with the US probing whether the virus actually originated in a virology institute with a high-security biosafety laboratory.

Chinese scientists have said the virus likely jumped from an animal to humans in a market that sold wildlife.

But the existence of the facility has fuelled conspiracy theories that the germ spread from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, specifically its P4 laboratory which is equipped to handle dangerous viruses.

In an interview with state media published Saturday Yuan Zhiming, director of the laboratory, said that "there's no way this virus came from us".

None of his staff had been infected, he told the English-language state broadcaster CGTN, adding the "whole institute is carrying out research in different areas related to the coronavirus".

The institute had already dismissed the theory in February, saying it had shared information about the pathogen with the World Health Organization in early January.

But this week the United States has brought the rumours into the mainstream, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying US officials are doing a "full investigation" into how the virus "got out into the world".

When asked if the research suggested the virus could have come from the institute, Yuan said: "I know it's impossible."

"As people who carry out viral studies we clearly know what kind of research is going on at the institute and how the institute manages viruses and samples," he said.

He said that because the P4 laboratory is in Wuhan "people can't help but make associations", but that some media outlets are "deliberately trying to mislead people".

Reports in the Washington Post and Fox News have both quoted anonymous sources who voiced concern that the virus may have come -- accidentally -- from the facility.

Yuan said the reports were "entirely based on speculation" without "evidence or knowledge".

Authorities in Wuhan initially tried to cover up the outbreak and there have been questions about the official tally of infections with the government repeatedly changing its counting criteria at the peak of the outbreak.

This week authorities in the city admitted mistakes in counting its death toll and abruptly raised the figure by 50 percent. -- AFP

Contamination at CDC lab was likely cause of critical early delays in rolling out coronavirus testing

CNN - By Sara Murray, Nick Valencia

What is the truth?

Obama made an appeal to 300 US mayors: You must tell the truth!

Obama said that as the mayor, in this case, the biggest mistake is to "provide the wrong information" to the people. He appealed to the mayors: "Tell the truth, and make it clear, let the people feel your sympathy."

And the truth Obama said is the truth that Trump misled people not to wear masks! In fact, what the world wants is not this truth. The truth that the United States and the people of the world need to know is: How did the virus come from? Was it caused by Trump to harm the world?

Only by telling the truth can we really save the epidemic in the United States, otherwise the Americans will be in the dark!

Possible truth

01

The truth is that the United States is the most obsessed with biological warfare in the world today. The United States has more than 200 biochemical laboratories worldwide.

A report from the Pentagon pointed out that the cost of biological warfare is extremely low, killing 65,000 people for $ 0.29!

02

The United States will never allow other countries to sit on par with it, as long as it reaches 70% of him. Therefore, almost at
this point, the United States destroyed the Soviet Union and abolished Japanese economic might.

Now it's China's turn.

War with China will not work, because China's military power is not in the same grade as those in the Middle East, and there are atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs in their possession, and Dongfeng Intercontinental Missiles are even more mightily sophisticated.

Fighting the trade war, China is the country with the most complete manufacturing system in the world, and the sanctions imposed by the United States on trade does not bear effective results.

So, the United States thought of the thing that could kill 65,000 people for $ 0.29.

03

The key to engaging in biological warfare is not to set fire to self-immolation. To deal with China's stuff, it must be tailor-made. Only the yellow races are killed, and the whites are immune.

Therefore, the American Gilead Company had smuggled more than 5,000 Chinese serum disguised as dog serum samples, and was caught and punished by China.

At this point, we have only remembered what the Japanese Minister of Finance Taro Aso said at the end of February: The new crown virus is only a disease targeting Asians. This  paragraph is expression of truth.

More directly, the Governor of New York State said at an outbreak press conference: "We thought this virus only attacked the Asian immune system."

04

Because the New Corona virus was originally a virus tailor-made for Asians in the United States, so from the early stage of the outbreak of China, Trump said: Soon after, I will send a big gift to China.

What is this gift? It is an antidote.

In early February, shortly after the closure of Wuhan, American pharmaceutical companies hyped their own antidote ~ "Remdisivir" came on stage! Facing a new virus that has never been seen before, how does the United States know the antidote?

On March 2, Trump still vowed to say "The United States will produce vaccines, soon, really."

Not only do we have vaccines, but also therapies on March 3 Trump declares! Another meaning of therapy is that it can be cured. "

On March 16, the first batch of "white mice" in the United States received vaccination. The United States is not the first country to have an epidemic outbreak. How did it conduct R & D trials and come up with antidote and vaccine at the speed of light?

Even more exciting is that this company that produces antidote and vaccine is the main contractor of the US Department of
Defense's biological warfare project, and the major shareholder is the former US Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld.

Should n’t researching vaccines and testing antidote be the work of pharmaceutical laboratories? How could it be the ‘Biological Warfare Lab’ to study? Why does the United States know that the new corona virus vaccine is a biological warfare, rather than an epidemic infectious disease like
smallpox, cholera, and Ebola virus?

05

Time to recall to summer 2019

At that time, due to inadequate safety training and slack management, the virus laboratory in Maryland had a virus leak. This project was closed after just over a month.

But the big mistake has been made, the virus has spread out, and in the two nearby towns that were first affected, people have suffered from a strange lung disease-the white lung, which is exactly the same as the new coronary pneumonia.

It ’s hard to expose, as it ’s also a military secret. The virus must be covered, and it ’s also necessary to find someone to be a
scapegoat.

As a result, the e-cigarettes that had appeared as early as 2003 suddenly became the scapegoat for the cause of white lungs. When the flu outbreak occurred, the e-cigarette hypes could finally be put down as the cause. The so-called white lungs are flu.

06

It was October 18-27, 2019. During the Wuhan Military Sports competition the US biochemical soldiers disguised as Trojan horses and mixed into Wuhan City. Wuhan was darts!

After poisoning, the United States has been waiting for good news.

When the Chinese epidemic broke out, the US Department of Commerce immediately couldn't bear the joy, and openly said:  China's epidemic will help the manufacturing industry return to the United States.

In other words, China is poisoned! Yay!

07

The United States holds the antidote, there is no fear, lest the world is not chaotic, so it expects the epidemic to be as serious as possible. When the world is in chaos, the United States will sell the world's vaccine and antidote, gain fame and fortune, and more importantly, whether it sells China or not, it depends on Trump's mood. Wow, thinking of this, the White House couldn't sleep in excitement.

More importantly, this virus is only for Asians, Caucasians are fine, Trump can sit back and relax, you see that he does not wear a mask when the epidemic is most serious.

08

The villain is all day long, and the gentleman is not too late for ten years—Chinese proverb.

Trump, the villain, has been blowing all day long since then:


No one knows the virus better than me. Our country is doing great. 


You do n’t need to wear a mask, we have full control of the situation. One day the virus will disappear like a miracle.

We almost suppressed the virus from China. Now there are 15 diagnoses, and it will be zero in a few days. 


The virus is a prank. I think it ’s okay to meet, it ’s very safe, you do n’t need to go to the hospital to see a doctor ........................
How you listen, Trump behaves like a general director with an antidote in his hand and a script in his heart.

09

The government calculated that it hurt Chinese life.


The result that the United States did not expect was that the Chinese government led 1.4 billion Chinese people to control the epidemic in two months, thus becoming the safest place in the world. 

What the Americans did not expect was that the United States actually became The highest number of diagnoses and the most dangerous place in the world! 

Not only did the manufacturing industry not return to the United States, but it also ushered in the Great Depression. People all over the world are speculating when the behemoth of the United States will fall!

God bestows immense love to China, after this battle, became more united and got a real immunization; the so-called  vaccines, so-called therapies that were not effective in the ground, the United States is 'enjoying' its retribution, pale and weak Wuhan pneumonia, Chinese pneumonia, 


The sickness of the yellow race has become an unfulfilled dream in the mouth of the White House and its running dogs. What a joke.

China-US relations will no longer be the same

China's endurance is no longer the same as it was 20 or 30 years ago. We have a unique Chinese philosophy of resistance to pressure. We will not become a second Soviet Union, nor will we provoke the antagonism and confrontation between China and the US from our side. China 's way of safeguarding its core interests will be brand new, and we need to surprise history.

Washington's hysterical COVID-19 claims will fail

The ruling elites in Washington are living in a fantasy where they think blurring the facts and spreading their slander allows them to call white for black.

Fox News COVID-19 conspiracy theory 'REVENGE' shamed by China’s epidemic control; its unscrupulous manipulation, berated as fake news hub, hits new low on politicizing disease !!

Fox News’ unscrupulous manipulation should be condemned by the global press

https://youtu.be/JMj4k_rqtfQ

This week, Fox News, one of Donald Trump's favorite mouthpieces, ran a story on the conspiracy theory that claims COVID-19 was made at a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

The most shocking aspect of this theory was not how it claimed to know where the virus originated. Such misinformation has since become old news after it was dispelled by Chinese scientists and international institutions as early as February.

What's shocking is how Fox News claimed that "multiple sources" said the virus was leaked in an attempt by China to "demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States."

Reading the report was an unbelievable experience, and not because the Fox News claim rocked my understanding of China, but how it was unfathomable that a major news outlet would make such a ridiculous claim and even take it seriously.

Did anyone at Fox News bother to read the report? China leaked the virus because it wanted to prove its system was better than the US? It sounded like something a third-grader would say.

Even though Fox News may think that all Americans are as ignorant as Trump's consultant Kellyanne Conway, who claimed the virus was the 19th version of COVID, the report is beyond ridiculous and will inspire others to wonder if there is anyone at the news outlet whose brain actually works.

Unfortunately, Fox News has an extensive fan base who wants to be coerced into believing the "China leaked virus" theory. On Twitter, some threatened to "wipe" China off the planet and posted a gif of a nuclear bomb, suggesting that China should be nuked. Such fascist behavior should come as no surprise given that Fox News and Trump's behavior often invite racist and neo-Nazis words.

Objective and intellectual thinkers do not accept Fox News claims regarding China. On the Fox News YouTube channel, many questioned their "sources," which is something Fox News refuses to address.

What's even funnier is how Trump said in 2016 that "don't believe 'sources said' by the VERY dishonest media. If they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist."

Regardless of "sources," the Fox News theory proves a concern I've had since February. Trump and his conservative allies began making remarks that COVID-19 was "just a flu" and one that would "magically disappear" due to "hot weather." Trish Regan of Fox News said the epidemic was a "scam" by Democrats to impeach Trump. Their attitudes inspired me to wonder if the coronavirus emerged in the US first, would these people treat it just like a flu, downplay its risks and even cover up the truth of this deadly pandemic?

China reported, studied, and fought the virus first, treated it as a very serious crisis, and became a whistleblower for the pandemic worldwide. China's efforts might have foiled Trump and his henchman's plan to downplay COVID-19. So, when the outbreak in the US worsened and couldn't be covered up because of information from China, Trump and his men would dislike China for revealing the true nature of COVID-19, which would also jeopardize his approval rating.

And now, in Fox News' latest false claim, one can certainly sense such a grudge against China. It is apparently a form of revenge by Trump's team as they are shamed by China.

In other words, the Fox News' conspiracy theory may have revealed how they never took COVID-19 seriously. For them and Trump, it is ultimately a political reality show for Trump's re-election so that instead of being responsible, their priorities are always to find someone to blame, be it Democrats, news media, China, or the World Health Organization.

For those who need further evidence that Trump and his puppy Fox News only care about political gain, check the internet and social media and see who is spreading misinformation and who is pretending that this is just a flu.

There is a saying on China's social media: Like idols, like fans.

Trump halted funding to WHO draws condemnation, immoral to boost reelection by attacking WHO, a crime against humanity!

The World Health Organization’s director-general expressed regret Wednesday at President Trump’s intent to withhold funding, and said the agency would seek to fill financing gaps from other donors as it battles the coronavirus pandemic.

US allies line up to condemn Donald Trump’s WHO funding suspension

EU foreign policy chief captures chorus of concern as health body expresses regret and assesses financial hit

President Donald Trump’s decision to halt US funding to the World Health Organization has triggered heavy criticism at home and abroad for depriving the global body of its biggest donor as it battles the coronavirus pandemic.

Josep Borrell, EU foreign policy chief, captured a chorus of international concern when he warned that all countries must work together closely to stem the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Deeply regret US decision to suspend funding to WHO,” he wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. “There is no reason justifying this move at a moment when their efforts are needed more than ever to help contain & mitigate the coronavirus pandemic.”

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, expressed regret at Mr Trump’s decision and said his organisation was assessing the impact and how to fill any funding gaps.

“This is a time for all of us to be united in our common struggle against a common threat, a dangerous enemy,” he told reporters. “When we are divided the virus exploits the cracks between us.”

Mr Trump shocked European allies on Tuesday when he announced that hundreds of millions of dollars in US funding would be suspended while a review was conducted to assess the WHO’s “role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus”.

He also criticised the organisation’s relationship with China. “American taxpayers provide between $400m-$500m per year to the WHO, in contrast China contributes roughly $40m a year, even less,” Mr Trump said. “As the organisation’s leading sponsor, the US has a duty to insist on full accountability.”

Critics countered that the White House was undermining the international response to the Covid-19 pandemic and other serious diseases in an effort to distract attention from questions over its own handling of the health emergency.

This is the time for solidarity, not for finger-pointing or undermining multilateral co-operation.

The European Commission said the EU backed the WHO in its efforts to contain the pandemic, had already provided additional funding and was looking into what it and its member states could do in response to the US move.

“This is the time for solidarity, not for finger-pointing or undermining multilateral co-operation,” the Commission said.

Ursula von der Leyen, Commission president, is due to host an online pledging conference on May 4 that will look at immediate funding gaps in combating the pandemic.

In Germany, Heiko Maas, foreign minister, said it did not help to “apportion blame” over the pandemic. Simon Coveney, Ireland’s foreign minister, slammed Mr Trump’s decision as “indefensible” in the “midst of global pandemic”.

Sergei Ryabkov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister, branded the US move “very alarming”. “This is an example of a very selfish approach by the US authorities,” he said, according to the Tass news agency.

Mr Trump’s move was also condemned by Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder and billionaire head of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. “Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds,” he wrote on Twitter.

The US, where more than 26,000 people have died from Covid-19, the largest official national death toll, is the largest single contributor to the WHO. Of the roughly $500m it provides annually, $116m is mandated by the UN and about another $400m is in voluntary payments.

In Washington, the president’s move came under heavy fire from Democrats, while Republicans were largely supportive. Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives, described it as an “illegal” move that would be “swiftly challenged”.

“The president’s halting of funding to the WHO as it leads the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic is senseless,” she added.

Bob Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate foreign relations committee, said it was a “dangerous and reckless” move at a time when people in the US and across the world were dying from the virus.

But Republicans were supportive either because of concerns that the organization was too China-centric — echoing the claims of Mr Trump — or because of unease about international institutions.

“This is a critical time for worldwide public health and we cannot afford China apologists running the WHO,” said Lindsey Graham, a senator who generally backs US international engagement. “I support a suspension of funding . . . until there is new leadership at the WHO.”

Stephen Griffin, associate professor at the school of medicine at the UK’s University of Leeds, said Mr Trump’s decision was perhaps “one of the least productive, most short-sighted, self-motivated and hypocritical acts I have ever witnessed”.

China’s foreign ministry said Washington’s decision would “weaken the capabilities of the WHO, harm international co-operation against the epidemic, and affect various countries including the US itself domestically”.

But Australia’s prime minister Scott Morrison also expressed concerns about the WHO’s handling of the pandemic, calling for greater transparency from the health body on the causes of the outbreak.

Immoral to boost reelection by attacking WHO

US President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with patients who have recovered from the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington, DC on Tuesday. Photo: AFP

US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Washington was suspending funding to World Health Organization (WHO) while reviewing over the organization's "role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus." Since last week, Trump has launched a barrage of attacks on WHO, accusing the organization of being "China centric."

Mainstream public opinion both in the US and abroad believes Trump is anxiously making WHO a scapegoat to divert increasingly fiercer domestic criticisms for his botched epidemic response.

It should be taken as part of Trump's reelection campaign. Attacking WHO and labeling it as "China centric" could incite many Americans to unleash their anger over the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans amid the pandemic as well as their severely impacted life. Canvassing gatherings cannot be held at this moment, so finding scapegoats to let voters vent their anger has become the best campaign tactic. The US recent years has intensified its anti-China ideology, targeting WHO and China together could fan as much nationalism as possible in the US and covertly boost Trump's reelection.

Those in the US Congress who are furiously blasting WHO are from the Republican party. The White House has taken state apparatuses and public interests as campaign resources. Such political operations are quite immoral.

The global virus fight is at a critical juncture. The novel coronavirus is launching indiscriminate attacks against all the people regardless of nationality or race. WHO is the authoritative body that can coordinate the global anti-virus fight. Washington's crackdown on the WHO is a blow to the global endeavor against the coronavirus. The US is making lives of numerous people pay the price for its political infighting. This is a bloody plan.

So far epicenters of the pandemic are mainly in relatively developed regions and those hardest hit countries have comparatively strong ability to stem the pandemic on their own.

However, the risk of pandemic hitting underdeveloped areas is growing increasingly high. Those countries will tend to rely more on the support and assistance of the WHO. Any move at this time that may paralyze and weaken WHO will foster the pandemic and place human beings in a more vulnerable situation.

Washington's attack on the WHO is so unpopular that no country in the world has yet echoed. Only the Taiwan bogus regime supported Washington out of its own political interests. This isolated camp - the US plus the island of Taiwan - well explains "an unjust cause finds scant support."

Washington's attempts to shift the blame onto other countries and international organizations are doomed to fail. Its own mistakes cannot be more obvious, and buck-passing will only drive people to further investigate and define its responsibility for improper handling of the outbreak.

The US' attacks against the WHO is groundless. Taking buck-passing as one of the main battlefields of the presidential election will very much likely to suffer losses.

A sovereign country that investigates the WHO and treats international organizations so arrogantly won't be supported by international law.

Washington evaluates the WHO in accordance with how the organization has served the US. This goes against the purpose of WHO.

Such an arbitrary and overbearing act will surely help the world see clearly the true nature of the ongoing conflicts between the US and international organizations.

The US has no ability to reconstruct an international system. What it is doing now is pure destruction. The acts of the US are throwing the world into chaos and crippling the global system. The US political and legal framework cannot restrain its government from acting at its own will. This is the misfortune of the US and the entire world.

White House outrageous, irresponsible to halt funds to WHO: Martin Jacques

US President Donald Trump's decision to suspend US payments to the World Health Organization in the midst of the present pandemic is outrageous and grossly irresponsible, which prioritizes his own electoral fortunes over the needs of the American people and people around the world, Martin Jacques, a senior fellow at the Department of Politics and International Studies at Cambridge University, told the Global Times via email.

Trump's empty promises meant for reelection, not to fight virus

Public health crises do not happen often, but once they do, they expose the various flaws of a system. It remains to be seen how the US reforms its system to address the flaws, or just looks for a scapegoat. 

COVID-19 battle is not a zero-sum game between countries

Perhaps the biggest lesson that we should learn from the COVID-19 pandemic is countries with different political systems and ideologies should unite to deal with our common enemy. Learning to coexist may be the goal of human development in the future as well as the solution to global problems.

Washington's hysterical COVID-19 claims will fail

The ruling elites in Washington are living in a fantasy where they think blurring the facts and spreading their slander allows them to call white for black.

CHINA bashing is continuing even as the world struggles to fight the killer Covid-19 virus. In fact, the blame game has intensified, fuelled by some western politicians and the media.

It’s not a good time for Asians, especially ethnic Chinese, to be in Western countries as there have been reported cases of racial abuse and even assault.

Without doubt, these, are isolated cases as the majority of people are reasonable but such incidents have made many Chinese people in these countries feel uneasy and unsafe.

Amid all these, a very important report went almost unnoticed last week. Perhaps most journalists were preoccupied with headline- grabbing news of Covid-19 deaths and lockdown violators.

The report, which has been widely discussed in the scientific community, was carried by some newspapers but CNN and BBC did not find it interesting enough or perhaps it did not fit into their narrative.

Well, for the first time, experts from Britain and Germany have mapped the evolutionary path of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 and determined there are currently three versions of it spreading around the world.

In simple English, the viruses are mutating – changing their forms – and these scientists have put them in three forms, or variants, as they prefer to call them. But the bad news is that they are still mutating, and more variants could be added later.

The virus, according to these experts – “is constantly mutating to overcome immune system resistance in different populations.”

According to the findings, these researchers reconstructed the early evolutionary paths of the virus as it spread from the epicentre in Wuhan, China, out to Europe and North America.

By analysing the first 160 complete virus genomes to be sequenced from human patients, scientists found the variant closest to that discovered in bats was largely found in patients from the US and Australia – not Wuhan.

They used data from samples taken from across the world between Dec 24,2019 and March 4,2020. They found that the closest type of coronavirus to the one discovered in bats – type A, the original human virus genome – was present in Wuhan, but was not the city’s predominant virus type. The Chinese city was initially the epicentre of the outbreak.

The finding said type A was also found in Americans who had lived in Wuhan, and in other patients diagnosed in the United States and Australia.

However, the report did not elaborate who were the Americans who had lived in Wuhan and how they got infected.

The most common variant found in Wuhan was type B although this appeared not to have travelled much beyond East Asia before mutating, which the researchers said was probably due to some form of resistance to it outside that region.

Type C was the variant found most commonly in Europe based on cases in France, Italy, Sweden and England.

It has not been detected in any patients in mainland China, though it had been found in samples from Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea, the study said.

Dr Peter Forster, geneticist and lead author from the University of Cambridge, said: “There are too many rapid mutations to neatly trace a Covid-19 family tree.”

But the researchers concluded that variant A was the root of the outbreak as it was most closely related to the virus found in bats and pangolins. Type B was derived from A, separated by two mutations, while type C was the “daughter” of variant B.

“The Wuhan B-type virus could be immunologically or environmentally adapted to a large section of the East Asian population, ” Forster said.

“It may need to mutate to overcome resistance outside East Asia. We seem to see a slower mutation rate in East Asia than elsewhere, in this initial phase.”

But one thing is for sure. It is not a good time to travel as the virus has been transmitted at an unbelievable speed.

For example, the study reported that one of the earliest introductions of the virus to Italy was found in a Mexican traveller, who was diagnosed on Feb 28, came via the first documented German infection – a person who worked for a company in Munich on Jan 27. The German contracted the infection from a Chinese colleague in Shanghai, who had recently been visited by her parents from Wuhan. The researchers documented 10 mutations in the viral journey from Wuhan to Mexico.

“Because we have reconstructed the ‘family tree’ (the evolutionary history) of the human virus, we can use this tree to trace infection routes from one human to the next, and thus have a statistical tool to suppress future infection when the virus tries to return, ” Forster said.

The research team has since extended its analysis to 1,001 viral genomes and while it has yet to undergo peer review, the report has indicated that the spread of the virus has increasingly adapted to different populations and therefore the pandemic needs to be taken seriously.

More importantly, this scientific report could help politicians and the media to understand better the cause of the virus, and end their conspiracy blame game.
