It's a sensational story. In mid-September, Yan Limeng, a Chinese virologist, appeared on the Fox News Channel program hosted by Tucker Carlson to share the conclusions of her just completed research paper. The conclusion is that the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is likely to be made in a laboratory in China. On Carlson's show, she claimed the virus was intentionally released around the world.

Subsequently, the reliability of this conclusion began to collapse. It was quickly discovered that the publication of the paper had a relationship with former White House adviser Steve Bannon. The Johns Hopkins Health Security Center in the United States, a mainstream authority that studied the epidemic, criticized the paper as unscientific, it also pointed out that Yan Limeng, the first author of this paper, and her co-author "cited many papers with shortcomings or defects in the reference section".

In addition, a source told CNN that the names of the three co-authors of Yan Limeng's two papers were all pseudonym. Experts told reporters that this practice is very rare in such studies and is generally not acceptable because it makes it impossible to hold accountability and lacks transparency. The source did not understand why the paper did not disclose the use of a pseudonym.

He said: "If you use a pseudonym, then under normal circumstances, it will cause people to question-if they are not honest with their names, so will it be honest in other things?

This paper is very deceptive to people without a scientific background, because it is written in very professional language, uses a lot of jargon, and looks like a formal scientific paper. However, anyone with a background in virology or molecular biology will be aware that a large part of it is actually nonsense.

After Yan Limeng arrived in the United States, Bannon, Guo Wengui and their allies immediately packaged her as a whistleblower who could be sold to the American public.

They placed her in a "safe house" outside New York City and hired a lawyer for her, Bannon said. They got her a media coach because English is not her native language. Yan Limeng later said that Bannon also asked her to submit a number of papers to sum up what she called evidence.

"Make sure you can explain this to people logically," Bannon recalls telling her.

As Bannon and Guo Wengui themselves said, they have been shouldering the mission of overthrowing the CCP for many years. The conspiracy unfolded.
