A Hong Kong virologist has revealed that she was looking into the CCP virus back in December 2019, and was allegedly told by a Chinese official about the virus’ risk of human-to-human transmission on Dec. 31—well before this was publicly confirmed by the regime and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Dr. Yan Li-Meng, in an interview with Fox News published on July 10, said she was told by her supervisor at Hong Kong University’s School of Public Health to study the SARS-like virus coming out of the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last December. Unable to obtain information from Chinese authorities, Yan said she turned to a friend, a scientist at the Chinese regime’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention who had first-hand knowledge of the outbreak.
