NYU Professor Notes Coronavirus May Be ‘Bi-Phasic like Anthrax', It's Time to Press the Chinese for More Answers
[Red State] How Dr. Xiangguo Qiu morphed from a medical doctor to a virologist is not known, but she ended up doing leading work at the Canadian lab.

And she was not alone at that lab. Her husband, Dr. Keding Cheng, a bacteriologist was also at the National Microbiology Laboratory, and who also mysteriously shifted into virology.

Together they infiltrated the NML and engaged in theft of technology, secrets, and of actual viral samples, which they sent secretly to China.

Of importance, is that Xiangguo Qiu is a specialist in biological warfare.

The management and staff of the NML were sleeping at the wheel while these two engaged in theft of dangerous viral samples. Perhaps political correctness played a role in turning a blind eye to possible irregularities.

In addition to their own espionage and thefts, these two arranged for additional Chinese nationals to infiltrate the NML...

Stolen materials, including samples of the Novel Coronavirus were somehow taken or shipped by this group of six to Wuhan.
Emphasis added.

Who is the author? People in academic research change their fields all the time - depending on the job market.

#2 Medical Doctor implies treatment not a research role to me.

#3 #2 Some go into research. Some are middling good at it.

#4 This article is badly flawed and should be discounted. It appears that both the author and her source are making errors and misinterpretations, intentional or not.

The virus sample sent to the Canadian lab from the Netherlands was the MERS coronovirus. It was not covid-19, which didn’t exist in 2013.

Similarly, the virus stolen from NML was MERS.

Based on published information, which I think I’ve posted here previously, it’s likely that covid-19 was engineered in Wuhan.

The article is taking the 2013 term “new coronavirus” (referring to MERS) and changing it to “novel coronovirus”, which was the name applied last January to covid-19, before it was officially named. This seems somewhat more than just sloppy reporting.

If it’s speculation you want, here’s mine: SARS, MERS, and covid-19 all originated in the lab at Wuhan. That’s SPECULATION, enjoy.
