Canadian Scientist Sent Deadly Viruses to Wuhan Lab Months Before RCMP Asked to Investigate
June 15th, 2020“The virus shipments are not related to the outbreak of COVID-19 or research into the pandemic, Canadian officials said.”
Mmm hmm.
What is admitted in this article (in terms of what was sent to China) is almost unbelievable.
Also, the denials about “conspiracy theories” are hilarious. I mean, Bill Gates, millions of dollars in research grants to the recently deceased former director, who happened to be the director when the lab took delivery of coronavirus samples, and now, whatever the Chinese wanted, they got.
Somehow, when mentioning dangerous gain of function research, that’s not done in the U.S. or Canada anymore, the article doesn’t mention Fauci: Dr. Fauci Backed Controversial Wuhan Lab with Millions of U.S. Dollars for Risky Coronavirus “Gain of Function” Research
It’s all just a big, unfortunate, regrettable cauldron of coincidences. Clearly the “conspiracy theories” are insane.

Newly-released access-to-information documents reveal details about a shipment of deadly pathogens last year from Canada’s National Microbiology Lab to China — confirming for the first time who sent them, what exactly was shipped, and where it went.
CBC News had already reported about the shipment of Ebola and Henipah viruses but there’s now confirmation one of the scientists escorted from the lab in Winnipeg amid an RCMP investigation last July was responsible for exporting the pathogens to the Wuhan Institute of Virology four months earlier.
Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, her husband Keding Cheng and her students from China were removed from Canada’s only level-4 lab over what’s described as a possible “policy breach.” The Public Health Agency of Canada had asked the RCMP to get involved several months earlier.
The virus shipments are not related to the outbreak of COVID-19 or research into the pandemic, Canadian officials said.

“It is suspicious. It is alarming. It is potentially life-threatening,” said Amir Attaran, a law professor and epidemiologist at the University of Ottawa.
“We have a researcher who was removed by the RCMP from the highest security laboratory that Canada has for reasons that government is unwilling to disclose. The intelligence remains secret. But what we know is that before she was removed, she sent one of the deadliest viruses on Earth, and multiple varieties of it to maximize the genetic diversity and maximize what experimenters in China could do with it, to a laboratory in China that does dangerous gain of function experiments. And that has links to the Chinese military.”
Gain of function experiments are when a natural pathogen is taken into the lab, made to mutate, and then assessed to see if it has become more deadly or infectious.
Most countries, including Canada, don’t do these kinds of experiments — because they’re considered too dangerous, Attaran said.
“The Wuhan lab does them and we have now supplied them with Ebola and Nipah viruses. It does not take a genius to understand that this is an unwise decision,” he said.
“I am extremely unhappy to see that the Canadian government shared that genetic material.”
