Twitter Suspends Account Of Chinese Virologist Who Said She Has Proof That Covid-19 Was Made In Govt Lab

Twitter has suspended the account of Chinese Virologist Dr Li-Meng Yan who had said that she possesses scientific proof that the COVID-19 virus originated in a government-controlled laboratory in Wuhan, China, Daily Mail has reported.

Her account was suspended on Tuesday (16 September) just days after she accused a Chinese lab in Wuhan of developing the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Twitter is yet to comment on her suspension.

As per Dr Yan, she has been suspended as "they don't want the people to know this truth".

While appearing on the Tucker Carlson show, Dr Yan also alleged that the global scientific community is working together with the Chinese Communist Party to stop people from knowing the truth.

"The scientific world also keeps silent... works together with the Chinese Communist Party, they don't want people to know his truth. That's why I get suspended, I get suppressed, I am the target that Chinese Communist Party wants disappeared", Dr Yan has been quoted as saying.

Dr Yan had earlier said in a different interview that she came to know about the virus while studying pneumonia in Wuhan. She said that found that there was no response from the World Health Organisation when coronavirus was reported, and that the Chinese officials ignored her warnings despite being aware of the danger the world was about to face.
