Roving Periscope: It was a “bioweapon,”—Covid ghost puts China on the mat, again

New Delhi: Despite Covid-19 subsiding worldwide, the pandemic’s ghost refuses to go under: now, a Wuhan researcher has revealed that China engineered the pandemic to ‘purposely infect’ the people in the world.
According to media reports on Wednesday, this shocking information was disclosed by Chao Shan in an interview in 2020.
Jennifer Zeng, a Chinese-born human rights activist, and author, conducted the interview.
Chao Shao, a researcher at the epicenter of the pandemic, Wuhan Institute of Virology, made astonishing claims about the coronavirus, saying the virus was engineered by China as a “bioweapon” and that his colleagues were given four strains of the virus to find out which could spread best.
He made this revelation in an exclusive interview with Jennifer Zeng, a member of the International Press Association, who provides first-hand information and unique insights about China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
In the 26-minute interview, Chao Shao revealed that another researcher, Shan Chao from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, got four coronavirus strains from his superior, who asked him to find out which one had the best ability to infect as many species as possible, and how easy it was to infect other species, including humans.
Chao Shao called the coronavirus a “bioweapon.”
He disclosed that several of his colleagues went missing during the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan. Later, one of them revealed that they were sent to hotels where athletes from various countries were staying to “check their health or hygiene conditions.”
Since checking hygiene doesn’t require virologists, Chao Shan suspected that they were sent there to spread the virus.
“Furthermore, in April 2020, Chao Shan said that he was sent to Xinjiang to check the health status of the Uyghurs who were imprisoned in the re-education camps so that they could be released sooner. Once again, since conducting health checks doesn’t require a virologist, he strongly implied that he was sent there to either spread the virus or to observe how the virus worked on humans,” the report said.
This information was disclosed to the interviewee by Chao Shan himself during the period from March to April 2020.
However, as the whistleblower mentioned during the interview, this is just a small piece of the entire puzzle. So far, the true origin of the pandemic that has caused nearly 7 million deaths worldwide, or even more, is still under exploration.
