It has been suggested this fatal mystery bug may have been the true origin of Covid-19.Įxperts at the lab also engineered a new type of hybrid 'super-virus' that can infect humans in 2015, according to medical journal Nature Medicineĭespite fears surrounding the research, the study was designed to show the risk of viruses carried by bats which could be transmitted to humans. Virus which killed three miners 1,000 miles away in Yunnan province back in 2012. Scientists from the lab even tested mysterious

The lab specialised in bat-borne viruses and had been carrying out experiences on them since 2015.Īirlocks, full body suits, and chemical showers are required before entering and leaving the lab - the first in China to be accredited with biosafety level 4 (BSL-4).īSL-4 labs are the only places in the world where scientists can study diseases that have no cure. Most scientists do not believe the virus leaked from the lab, and the lab itself has categorically denied the claims. In May 2020, the World Health Assembly requested that the WHO director-general work with partners to determine the origins of SARS-CoV-2.Various theories have been swirling about the lab, which is headed up by Chinese scientist Dr Shi Zhengli, known as 'bat woman'. The evidence adds up to a serious case that the SARS2 virus could have been created in a lab, from which it then escaped, wrote Wade, who refers to SARS-CoV-2 virus as SARS2 in short.Įarlier this month, a group of leading UK and US scientists called for more investigation to determine the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the theory of an accidental release from a lab in central China's Wuhan. In a detailed article titled 'The origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora's box at Wuhan' published in the prestigious Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists early this month, noted British science writer, editor and author Nicholas Wade raised several questions on the origin of the novel coronavirus. His announcement came after a US intelligence report found several researchers at the WIV fell ill in November 2019 and had to be hospitalised - a new detail that fuelled fresh public pressure on Biden to order a detailed investigation into the origin of the deadly virus.įormer US president Donald Trump was among those who supported the theory that the virus might have escaped from a bio lab in China.īeijing has been vehemently denying that the coronavirus broke out in Wuhan and took exception to Trump's reference to it as 'China virus' or 'Wuhan virus'.Ĭhina asserts that the COVID-19 broke out in different places in the world and China only reported the virus first.
Last week, US President Joe Biden ordered the US intelligence agencies to 'redouble' their efforts in investigating the emergence of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic and report back to him in 90 days, amid growing controversy about the virus's origins from the WIV in China. That means starting an investigation, along with partners around the world and in the WHO." We need to open the crypt and see what happened to be able to protect ourselves in the future. "We should leave no stone unturned," he added.Ĭonservative MP Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the foreign affairs select committee, said: "The silence coming from Wuhan is troubling. Zahawi said it's vital that the WHO is 'allowed to conduct its investigation unencumbered' as it seeks to better understand how the initial outbreak began.
Speaking to Sky News on Sunday, Britain's Vaccines Minister Zahawi insisted that the WHO must be able to fully investigate the origins of the coronavirus. Gathering data there has focused on trying to recruit on the dark web, where Chinese employees can share secrets anonymously without fear of being caught, the paper said.Ĭiting US diplomatic sources, the paper said there were concerns that if the origin could not be determined, 'this could happen again and we are one wet market or bio lab away from the next spillover'.
I don't think we will ever know," said a western intelligence source familiar with United Kingdom involvement in the investigation.Īgencies are believed to have few human intelligence sources in China. "There might be pockets of evidence that take us one way, and evidence that takes us another way.
