Chinese scientist who worked on Covid vaccine before the pandemic ‘was thrown to his death off roof’, witnesses claim
A SCIENTIST from the Wuhan Institute for Virology who allegedly worked on a COVID vaccine before the start of the pandemic was thrown to his death off roof, according to witnesses.
The mysterious circumstances surrounding his death were heightened when it was revealed he filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine in February 2020.
Zhou Yusen, 54, died in May 2020 while working for the People’s Liberation Army and alongside Wuhan scientists.
Witnesses claimed he fell from the roof of the Wuhan institute, but this hasn’t been verified.
US investigators have now revealed that Zhou may have had knowledge of the lab leak long before it was released to the world.
Vaccination experts told investigators that it would have been “impossible” to generate the data Zhou had in the patent for the vaccine unless he had been working on a vaccine for at least three months.
This could mean scientists in Wuhan were working on a COVID-19 vaccination in November, before news of the virus had left China.
The first case of Covid was reported in Wuhan in December, 2019 – but the World Health Organisation did not declare a pandemic until March 11, 2020.
It means the vaccine patent was filed just a short time after China first admitted there was human-to-human transmission of Covid – and two weeks before a pandemic was officially declared.
According to the newspaper, Zhou “worked closely” with scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, including Shi Zhengli – dubbed “batwoman” for her work on coronavirus in bats.
Workers in Wuhan’s lab were allegedly also combining the most deadly coronaviruses together to create a mutant virus.
Earlier this year, the director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, also said “The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan”.
Investigators believe scientists were working with Chinese military to create a mutant virus and pursue bio weapons just as the pandemic started.
The investigators have combed through top-secret intercepted communications and research.
In 2016, researchers discovered a new fatal type of coronavirus in a mineshaft in Mojiang, Yunnan province.
But they failed to warn the world about it, which was then subsequently transported to the Wuhan lab and the work became classified.
The virus is the only known immediate relative of Covid-19 known to be in existence pre-pandemic.
One US investigator told The Times: “The trail of papers starts to go dark. That’s exactly when the classified programme kicked off.
“My view is that the reason it was covered up was due to military secrecy related to the army‘s pursuit of dual-use capabilities in virological biological weapons and vaccines.”
Since the outbreak began in 2019, more than 750million people have contracted the virus, and almost 7million have died from it, according to the World Health Organisation.
