Escaped Chinese Virologist Accuses Beijing of COVID Cover-Up

A highly respected Chinese virologist has fled Hong Kong and says that the Chinese government knew about COVID-19 long before they claim they did, and that her supervisors – some of the top experts in the field – ignored research she was conducting at the onset of the pandemic which she says could have saved lives, according to an exclusive interview with Fox News.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan, who specialized in virology and immunology at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, fled Hong Kong on April 28 on a Cathay Pacific flight to the United States, knowing that if she were caught she could be jailed or “disappeared.”

She adds that they likely had an obligation to tell the world, given their status as a World Health Organization reference laboratory specializing in influenza viruses and pandemics, especially as the virus began spreading in the early days of 2020.

Yan, now in hiding, claims the government in the country where she was born is trying to shred her reputation and accuses government goons of choreographing a cyber-attack against her in hopes of keeping her quiet.

Yan believes her life is in danger. She fears she can never go back to her home and lives with the hard truth that she’ll likely never see her friends or family there again.

Still, she says, the risk is worth it. –Fox News

“The reason I came to the U.S. is because I deliver the message of the truth of COVID,” Yan told Fox from an undisclosed location.

Yan says she was one of the first scientists in the world to study COVID-19 (aside from Wuhan researchers, perhaps) after he supervisor, Dr. Leo Poon, asked her to look into “the odd cluster of SARS-like cases coming out of mainland China at the end of December 2019,” according to the report.

“The China government refused to let overseas experts, including ones in Hong Kong, do research in China,” she said. “So I turned to my friends to get more information.”

Yan’s mainland colleagues – one of whom worked at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, allegedly told Yan on December 31 that the virus was transmissible between humans long before the CCP or the WHO reversed course and admitted this was possible. After she told her boss of this, “he just nodded,” she says.

Days after her CCP contacts told her about human-to-human transmission, the WHO put out a statement on January 9 saying: “According to Chinese authorities, the virus in question can cause severe illness in some patients and does not transmit readily between people… There is limited information to determine the overall risk of this reported cluster.”

The cover-up.

Yan said that discussion between colleagues in China about the disease took a sharp turn after “doctors and researchers who had been openly discussing the virus suddenly clammed up.” Contacts in Wuhan went completely dark and others warned not to ask them about the virus – telling Yan “We can’t talk about it, but we need to wear masks.”

“There are many, many patients who don’t get treatment on time and diagnosis on time,” said Yan, adding “Hospital doctors are scared, but they cannot talk. CDC staff are scared.”

She said she reported her findings to her supervisor again on Jan. 16 but that’s when he allegedly told her “to keep silent, and be careful.”

As he warned me before, ‘Don’t touch the red line,'” Yan said referring to the government. “We will get in trouble and we’ll be disappeared.”

She also claims the co-director of a WHO-affiliated lab, Professor Malik Peiris, knew but didn’t do anything about it.

Peiris also did not respond to requests for comment. The WHO website lists Peiris as an “adviser” on the WHO International Health Regulations Emergency Committee for Pneumonia due to the Novel Coronavirus 2019-nCoV.

Yan was frustrated, but not surprised –Fox News

“I already know that would happen because I know the corruption among this kind of international organization like the WHO to China government, and to China Communist Party,” said Yan. “So basically… I accept it but I don’t want this misleading information to spread to the world.”

WHO denies that Professor Malik Peiris directly works for the organization, telling Fox in a statement “Professor Malik Peiris is an infectious disease expert who has been on WHO missions and expert groups – as are many people eminent in their fields,” adding “That does not make him a WHO staff member, nor does he represent WHO.”

Meanwhile, a local Beijing resident says the CCP is covering up new virus cases in a local neighborhood, according to the Epoch Times:

Two people who live in the Liuyi residential compound, located in the city’s Daxing district, were recently found to be infected with the CCP virus, according to a resident named Ms. Li, who is familiar with local virus outbreak information.

The entire compound, which is home to roughly 1,000 residents, was locked down after the new cases were discovered, on July 4; only one small gate remains open for grocery deliveries, she said.

However, the Beijing municipal health commission hasn’t reported any confirmed patients from the Liuyi compound in recent days.

Li shared with The Epoch Times a government list of local businesses and residential complexes that were mandated to conduct systematic disinfection and nucleic acid testing, including a total of 43 locations in Beijing.

However, under the Daxing district category on the list, the Liuyi residential compound was missing, which Li believes is because Beijing authorities purposely sought to conceal the new infections. –Epoch Times

Why would China go to such great lengths to cover up a naturally occurring outbreak of an ultra-virulent coronavirus that they insist wasn’t created in one of their labs?

    One cannot question Dr. Li-Meng Yan’s qualifications or the work she has done on COVID. She has published as recently as March 2020 on the Viral Dynamics of in Mild and Severe Cases of COVID-19. She also seems to be a bit of an expert on the flu.
    What strikes me as odd is that given, Hong Kong’s internet was not censored, she could easily have blown the whistle in January. Perhaps a wee anonymous email to someone in her field in the US?
    The fact that she was steeped in the secrets of the Chinese coverup of Covid makes it unrealistic to say she escaped Honk Kong. Indeed fled in fear for her life. On annual leave as it happens. And then kept her gob shut for the last 2 and a half months. In hiding.
    I was impressed that she was so charged with emotion and fear during her interview. All those tears. Leaving her husband and family to face the wrath of the nasty government thugs. And now she is trembling at the thought of a cyber attack. Or perhaps not.
    Far be it from me to think that her trousers are on fire.

      I am wondering what your experience is in dealing with totalitarian regimes such as China? You realize they surveil their people 24/7, especially anyone in sensitive positions as she was in, Hong Kong or no Hong Kong. She used her “vacation” as a cover to flee, which if you study the history of spycraft has been used before. If she let on at all what she was going to do, she would be gone. The Chinese Gov’t is NOT nice and free, far from it. Study what they are doing with their Muslim population. I must ask, are you a Bot for the Chinese Government or some type of Shill??

        Hi Lloyd.
        I’m afraid I am not as steeped in the mysteries of spycraft as you.
        Escaping a totalitarian state by going on your holidays sounds more Mr. Bean than Le Carre.
        There’s no need to get excited and resort to name calling. Would a Chinese bot call some one a feckin’ eejit?

    On the other hand, the following youtube link shows exemplary medical profssionals doing exactly what they should be doing! – this from Germany where they are forming a citizens alliance to generate an enquirey into this overblown farce.

    I was disappointed at the fear-mongering near the end of Dr. Li-Meng Yan’s interview. I felt better after watching the youtube video that Dev provided.

    This is not Chinese and this is what has been globally installed while the world went into lockdown.

    Great information about EMFs and vaccines

    However, the latest findings & proves, decades old, are that there are no Viruses which have to be incubated, but rather Exosomes, which work against viruses (toxins). The only things which we can be infected with, are toxins (virus in Latin) which then are attacked, packed by the natural production of Exosomes and then expelled/ejected out of our system/body.

    There are enough links on this site to take you to almost every site on the internet (directly or indirectly). 5Gexposed is therefore doing its job in informing you of the research relevant to 5G.
