Dr Li-Meng, a Chinese virologist, has thrown a bombshell saying that COVID-19 was created in a government-controlled lab in China's Wuhan. She is a specialist in virology and immunology at the Hong Kong School of Public Health. After she raised an alarm in January regarding the origin of the coronavirus, Dr Li-Meng was made to flee to the US.

It was on January 17 that she told a Chinese YouTuber than human to human transmission of COVID-19 had been happening in China. Just a few days earlier, the World Health Organization ruled out human to human transmission.

"The Wuhan seafood market and the intermediate hosts for the virus were just a smokescreen," she told the YouTuber.

In what could hint at a possible nexus between the Chinese regime and some consultants of the WHO, Dr Li-Meng's supervisor allegedly ignored her findings on the new pneumonia in China. The supervisor, who had been a consultant with WHO, asked her to maintain silence or else she would be made to disappear.

There have been suspicions that coronavirus was created in a lab. So far, no global body or authorities of a big nation like the US have been able to establish it.
