Since the outbreak of Wuhan pneumonia (novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19), many claims have pointed to the virus coming from China, and the Chinese Communist Party has been trying to cover up the truth. Recently, the British media reported that an investigation team found that 15 databases at the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research were taken offline without warning and access removed after the outbreak, and are now inaccessible for viewing. The team believes this is evidence that the Chinese Communist Party is trying to cover up the outbreak.
British media outlet The Sun exclusively reported that DRASTIC, a multinational team that traced the origin of the virus, recently released a 25-page investigative report that found that at least 15 databases were taken offline without warning and could not be accessed by outsiders after analyzing the data temporarily stored on the website.
The report noted that the database manager is researcher Shi Zhengli, and the controversial main database “batvirus.whiov.ac.cn” was also blocked, which is believed to contain 22,000 virus samples and virus gene sequences, 15,000 bat samples, and contains 1,400 bat viruses.
According to the report, “batvirus.whiov.ac.cn” was blocked from September 2019 and was not open for external viewing until December 30, 2019, when it was said to have been updated, which is the same day that the Chinese Communist Party claimed to have discovered a “new type of virus The “DRASTIC” virus is a new type of virus.
“The DRASTIC investigation report estimated from the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research paper that “batvirus.whiov.ac.cn” contains at least 100 undisclosed bat coronavirus genetic sequences, and also contains the Wuhan It also contains samples collected by the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research in collaboration with the EcoHealth Alliance, a non-governmental organization to which WHO investigator Peter Daszak belongs.
“Gilles Demaneuf, a member of the DRASTIC team, said that the sudden offline and removal of access to the database was a clear sign of a deliberate cover-up by the Chinese Communist Party; he stressed that the Wuhan Institute had blocked access for information security reasons, but he thought that excuse was absurd. He stressed that the reason for the blocking of access by the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research was for information security reasons, but he considered the excuse absurd.
He stressed that the team would pursue the origins of the outbreak in this way, not to punish anyone or to take a political stand, but to learn from its failures, to pursue the truth, and to ensure that similar risks from such experiments at the Wuhan Institute are properly addressed in the future; he fears that even as China tries to cover up the origins of the disease, the world seems intent on remaining silent.
Jamie Metzl, an American geneticist and WHO consultant, also emphasized the absolute importance of the Wuhan Institute’s databases in clarifying the origins of the outbreak, and that it was unreasonable for the Chinese Communist Party to try to cover it up by shutting down access to these databases immediately after the outbreak.
