NEW DELHI: According to a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, COVID-19 was created by China as a bioweapon, exposing trials and dubious actions related to the pandemic's origins.
The researcher also added that four strains were supplied to his colleagues so they could test which one could be utilised to transmit the disease most effectively.
These revelations were made by the Wuhan researcher Chao Shao during an interview with Jennifer Zeng, a human rights advocate and author who was born in China. Zeng is a member of the International Press Association and is said to be a reliable source of information about China and the Chinese Communist Party.
In a 26-minute lengthy exclusive interview, Shao also related a story about a different researcher by the name of Shan Chao who purportedly acknowledged receiving four coronavirus strains from a superior.
According to him, Shan Chao was given the task of testing these strains to see which one was most likely to infect different species, with a focus on human infectivity.
Shao disclosed that several of his coworkers vanished during the Wuhan 2019 Military World Games. One of the researchers who went missing revealed that they had been assigned to hotels that hosted athletes from various nations to "examine the health or sanitary issues.
Shao, however, had a suspicion that their true goal was to perhaps spread the virus because virologists were not needed to examine the hygiene conditions.
Chao further disclosed that he was sent to Xinjiang in April 2020 to evaluate the health of Uyghur detainees housed in re-education camps, suggesting that he was either given instructions to spread the virus or to observe its effects on humans. A virologist is necessary for performing routine health examinations.
