As the world deals with a global pandemic, the biggest unanswered questions have been on the origin of the coronavirus. Who opened the Pandora's box in Wuhan? Was the virus lab-made in China? While China has debunked these claims, counter-allegations and conspiracy theories have been flying thick and fast.
Dr Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese virologist was among the first people to claim that the coronavirus was leaked from a lab in Wuhan. She recently said that Dr Anthony Fauci’s emails prove that her claims were right. A former postdoctoral fellow at the University of Hong Kong, Dr Li-Meng Yan fled to the US in April last year. She has co-authored many pre-print research papers, which claimed that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was actually ‘produced’ in the laboratory. But her papers have been widely criticised by the international scientific community.
On today's episode of News Guru, Vikram Chandra speaks to Dr Li-Meng Yan, on her claims that China may have actually 'weaponized' the SARS-COV-2.
