US authorities, conducting their own investigation into the origins of Covid-19, received documents that were written by military doctors and high-ranking Chinese health officials in 2015, The Sun reported, citing The Australian.
In them, Chinese scientists describe the coronaviruses that cause SARS, which includes covid, as an example of a "new era of genetic weapons". These viruses, after processing, "turn into viruses that cause acute diseases in humans, and then are used as warfare agents and spread around the world at an unprecedented rate". Member of Parliament Tugenhat and Australian politician James Paterson said the document raises great concern about how openly China is informing the world about the origins of Covid-19. The Chinese were accused of the fact that the CCP hid data on the spread of the virus and did not provide information to the WHO about those infected and the dead. Questions about the origin of the virus remain after the WHO receives samples. The World Health Organization requires further investigation, as it does not rule out a leak from the laboratory.
Most scientists expressed their opinion that there is no evidence of the artificial origin of the virus, but questions about whether the virus could "escape" their biolaboratory in Wuhan remain. There is no evidence that China has deliberately spread the virus.
The document, written by the Chinese military, is titled "Artificial Origin of SARS and New Strains of Artificial Viruses Used as Genetic Bioweapons." He talks about the plans of the PRC military to use biological weapons: “Using the latest achievements in various fields of science, new means of delivery of biological warfare agents are being developed. For example, the recently discovered method of drying microorganisms under the influence of low temperatures makes it possible to store biological weapons and spray them in combat conditions. "
It is known that China conducted dangerous experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the seafood market, from where the infection began to spread.
Peter Jennings, director of the Australian Institute for Political Strategies, points out that China is conducting joint research between civilian and military scientists, which means that experiments at the Institute of Virology could also take place in the military field: “If you practice repelling biological attacks with your troops, you simultaneously give the ability for their military to use this weapon in the offensive. It is impossible to separate these two aspects".
The document from the Chinese military says that "a biological attack could cause the collapse of the enemy's health system". The military suggests that "the SARS epidemic that hit China in 2003 could have been the result of a terrorist attack." Robert Potter, a digital researcher who worked for the American, Australian and Canadian governments, confirmed that they were able to verify the authenticity of the document. They were also able to trace its origins to the Chinese segment of the Internet. Among the 18 authors of the Chinese study are Chinese government and health officials, including former Deputy Bureau of Epidemic Defense of China Li Feng. The 10 authors are scientists and weapons specialists at the Air Force Medical University in Xian. This institute came under the command of the Chinese army by order of the head of China Xi Jinping.
The study was led by Hu Decong, a professor at the Department of Military Epidemiology at the Air Force Medical University, who led the 2003 SARS response and reported directly to the Minister of Health and the Chinese General Staff.
This document will be published in the compendium on the origin of the covid "What Really Happened in Wuhan".
Australian Senator Paterson believes that the Chinese government has failed to establish interaction with WHO experts, and this does not give reason to trust information from Chinese sources.
The Chinese leadership insists that one of the toughest quarantines in the world and a testing program have helped to overcome the pandemic. Despite a population of nearly 1.5 billion, only just over 90,000 cases of covid have been reported in China, from which just over 4 and a half thousand people have died. Compared to other countries, these numbers are negligible.
Videos from the last week show that China has returned to normal life, museums are open, festivals are being held, and numerous tourists can be seen on the streets of cities. The documents show that Beijing is diligently hiding its mistake, while the United States openly accuses China of not revealing its role in the pandemic.
