WU SERIOUS? China’s ‘batwoman’ STILL doing ‘potentially catastrophic’ virus tests 5 years after Covid ‘lab leak’ left millions dead
The research means viruses can be more easily adapted to humans

A CHINESE scientist at the centre of the Covid origins debate is still carrying out "risky" research on coronaviruses, scientists have warned.
Shi Zhengli, 60, earned herself the nickname of China's "batwoman" as one of the world's leading scientists working on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan.
Her team at Wuhan Institute of Virology collected more than 20,000 samples from bat colonies in China over nearly two decades.
Then, when a mystery pneumonia-like illness emerged just a stone's throw from the lab in late 2019, Shi was thrust into the spotlight.
Many scientists questioned whether the virus - which had unusual features suggesting it was genetically engineered - may have leaked from the lab.
Five years later, a landmark congressional report has ruled that the "weight of the evidence" suggests it was a lab leak that sparked the pandemic - and left millions dead.

Is the world ready for Wuhan 2: Covid Boogaloo? The Chinese communist gov't thugs are up to no good again. I wouldn't
be surprised if they are creating a deadly virus that does not affect East Asians.
