It is likely Li-Meng Yan was a visa-hunter as many other Chinese instead of a whistler blower. She didn't give any evidence so far to support her claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.200.144.131 (talk) 13:27, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And your basis for that accusation, 14.200.144.131?

I second the request for evidence for this accusation — Preceding

Interesting reference in hk01 news. You'll need google translate if you don't read Chinese.14.200.144.131 (talk) 14:45, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In an interview with "Loose women" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Lq3_rsBJ9w) Li-Meng Yan claims to have evidence that the Covid-19 virus was created in a laboratory but unfortunately also does not provide any evidence. 87.67.28.178 (talk) 15:13, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm new at making contributions. I added a paragraph that describes that Dr. Yan had claimed that within days she will provide "all the scientific evidence" to show that COVID-19 was man-made. To me, this claim is probably outlandish. So I believe it is very notable that she made the claim and her promise to provide such evidence in days. However, the reversion was due to unreliable sources, i.e., youtube and "Loose Women" talk show. But it is clear that she made the claim and no news org has investigated it. May I ask for help as to how to document that the claim was made without needing to cite that a news source has confirmed or denied the claim? I'm new at this, so please be patient with me, thanks!

Awaiting Evaluation of articles

Seems she is about to drop some more information. I will look around and see if I can find some reputable evaluations of her upcoming paper. The Chinese gift is a brutal and immoral dictatorship with no regard for human rights. Weaponizing a virus is not a moral issue for them. Their work with bat corona virus is well known F. L.

Great Quote from Tucker Carlson Interview

She has a heavy Chinese accent and so it takes some time to figure out exactly what she is saying, but the best quote from the entire interview IMO is when she talks about how the virus is man-made and "not from nature", she characterizes the virus as if it were a "...cow, with a deer's head, rabbit's ears, and a monkey's hands, so they can never get it from the nature." I find this metaphor extraordinary, and explains her opinion very clearly to the average layperson. If possible, I advocate that Wikipedia include this characterization in the article, since it will go a long ways towards cutting through the scientific jargon, and effectively convey meaning to the greatest number of people.68.206.249.124 (talk) 12:15, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
