#1 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.

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

#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.
