“At the end of 2019” Zheng-Li Shi, “the undisputed world leader in experiments on bat coronaviruses” and head of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, “identified a very distinct detail in the Sars-CoV2 proteins: among the forest of amino acids it was hiding a lethal weapon “that” no other coronavirus in the Sars-CoV-2 family possessed in nature, while laboratories like his were specialized in the artificial insertion, inside the virus proteins, of that powerful enzymatic mechanism to experimental purposes “. This was written by the journalist Paolo Barnard in the book-investigation ‘The origin of the virus’ (publisher Chiarelettere), written in collaboration with the scientists Steven Quay (USA, Stanford University and Harvard Massachusetts General Hospital) and Angus Dalgleish (UK, St George’s University of London).
The Chinese researcher “was the first in the world – remembers Barnard – to point modern genetic mapping systems on the new coronavirus that was already killing victims at a worrying rate in Wuhan, her city”, and “she realized that Covid- 19 it would not have been a Sars-type respiratory disease at all “, but that” it would almost certainly have been a pandemic, an overwhelming sickening of human lives, and precisely because of the presence in the virus of that mechanism, capable of making men sick as in few others contagions of history “.
But the scientist was silent, the authors of the book observe. “In his justification – Barnard recalls – it should be noted that the entire Wuhan Institute of Virology had been working for some time under the watchful eye of the People’s Liberation Army of the Chinese Communist Party. In addition, in January 2020, General Chen Wei in fact took possession of the institute to direct the anti Covid-19 operations “. In short, “even if she had all the intentions, the virologist was not free to speak”.
“Zheng-Li Shi – it continues – could not say a single word to the international health authorities about the presence of that terrible weapon wedged among the proteins of Sars-CoV-2: not an alarm, a warning, nothing, despite having had a sensational opportunity to do so when in February 2020 he published the genome of the new coronavirus in the scientific journal ‘Nature’. This state of affairs – denounces Barnard – is perhaps unprecedented in modern science and has sentenced multitudes of Covd victims to a preventable death. 19, since an ‘early diagnosis’ of the biological weapon inherent in the new coronavirus and communicated by the Chinese scientist to the supranational health bodies well before the spread of infections in the rest of the globe would have allowed them to immediately understand the true dimensions of the danger and to activate measures of containment much more drastic and targeted “.
