At the end of 2019, with the global outbreak of the new coronavirus, the "conspiracy theories" related to the new crown virus came to the fore. Among them, Yan Limeng, a former employee of the University of Hong Kong, repeatedly hyped the "new crown virus man-made theory" and publicized it. The "Wuhan laboratory made the new crown virus" lie and slandered China for "concealing the epidemic."
The more serious the epidemic, the louder the conspiracy theory will be. Yan Limeng’s "new crown virus man-made theory" coincides with the conspiracy theory of the Wuhan laboratory that has been preached by Trump’s former adviser Bannon to create the new crown virus. Subsequently, under the careful packaging of Bannon and Guo Wengui, Yan Limeng began to spread the artificial synthesis of the new coronavirus system on the right-wing media and websites in the United States as a "whistleblower" of the new crown virus. It is a kind of "unrestricted" released by China. "Biological weapons" lies. In response to his unfounded view, Columbia University virologist Angela Rasmussen stated that “it was disguised as scientific evidence, but it was actually a total disaster.” Yale University disease ecologist Brandon Brandon Ogbunu (Brandon Ogbunu) pointed out that Yan Limeng's view that the new crown virus is "designed" into a dangerous virus is also "nonsense."
