FORMER US ARMY SCIENTIST AND ASTRAZENECA EXEC SAYS “CREATION” OF COVID WAS UNDER PEOPLE’S LIBERATION ARMY (PLA) COMMAND
MAY 20, 2021 PUBLIUS

A former US Army research scientist at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and former AstraZeneca executive has alleged that the “creation” of the COVID-19 virus:

“was entirely under the command and control of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)

The Rutgers Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences profile on Dr. Lawrence Sellin, also a US Army Reserve colonel, reads in part:

“Lawrence C. Sellin. PhD, received a M.S. in Biology from Seton Hall University in 1973 and a PhD in Physiology from UMDNJ in 1978…He then completed three years of postdoctoral training at the Department of Physiology, University of Virginia Medical School and the Department of Pharmacology, University of Lund, Sweden…”

“In 1980, Dr. Sellin became a Research Physiologist at the U.S. Army Medical research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland…”

“From 1992 until 2000, he held positions of increasing responsibility at Astra and the merged AstraZeneca Pharmaceutical Company in the areas of clinical research and business management…”

A report by the Republican committee of the US House Intelligence Committee found that there is:

“overwhelming circumstantial evidence to support a lab leak as the origination of COVID-19, while there is no substantive evidence supporting the natural zoonosis hypothesis.”

“Zoonosis” refers to the theory that the virus jumped naturally from bat to human. US officials such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and the mainstream media has long branded any notion that the COVID virus is man-made as a “conspiracy theory.”

The following is excerpted from a guest column by Dr. Lessin at The Gateway Pundit.

China’s Military Weapon COVID-19 Was Constructed Completely Under the Command and Control of the Chinese Military
The creation of the COVID-19 virus was entirely under the command and control of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), led by presumed head of China’s biowarfare program, Major General Wei Chen, while under the day-to-day supervision of key members of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences…

Largely based on an examination of Chinese-language documents and scientific publications, one can state that the Military Veterinary Research Institute and the Institute of Zoonotic Diseases in Changchun, Jilin Province, China, led by People’s Liberation Army General Ningyi Jin and retired General Xianzhu Xia, are core elements of China’s biowarfare program…

Biao He, together with Changjun Wang of the Third Military Medical University, played a key role in the isolation of bat coronaviruses ZC45 and ZXC21, claimed by Chinese whistleblower Dr. Li-Meng Yan to be the viral backbones for COVID-19…

Ningyi Jin has extensive experience in experimentation with coronaviruses.

In addition to his research connections, some of which can be traced back to the United States, there are two aspects of Ningyi Jin’s research activities that raise red flags.

Not only does he use genetic engineering extensively, but Ningyi Jin is one of a number of scientists in China, who, since 2007, have conducted experiments with a transgenic mouse model containing the human receptor for coronaviruses.

That is, any one of those Chinese laboratories could have quickly pre-adapted a coronavirus for human infection using that mouse model and a technique called “serial passaging.”…

Pre-adapting COVID-19 for human infection

The COVID-19 virus binds to human cells 10-20 times better than the 2002-2004 SARS virus.

It is here where the work of Ningyi Jin of the Military Veterinary Research Institute and the Academy of Military Medical Sciences intersect, in the use of animal models for serial passaging to increase virulence or to pre-adapt coronaviruses for human infection.

Serial passaging is the repeated re-infection within an animal or human population, which allows a virus to specifically adapt to the infected species.

That process occurs in nature, but it can be greatly accelerated in the laboratory by deliberate serial passaging of viruses in cell culture systems or animals, potentially leaving few or no traces as to whether the adapted viruses are naturally-occurring or laboratory-manipulated.

Dr. Chuan Qin is considered China’s foremost expert in animal models for increasing viral virulence and the use of humanized animals for testing natural or man-made viruses….
