A new report from a WMD expert raises disturbing questions.
A bioweapons expert likely to head the Trump administration’s top Pentagon post for countering weapons of mass destruction has charged in a new report that the Covid-19 pandemic was probably the result of a military-research-related accident in a Chinese laboratory, and that work at that lab may have been part of research China was conducting in possible violation of a treaty banning biological weapons.
The report also asserts that China knew even before the outbreak that the SARS-CoV-2 virus appeared to have severe, enduring neurological effects. “The risk of further neurological injury as the result of subsequent reinfection is unclear and should be an urgent research priority,” the report concludes.
