Dr. Yan Li-Meng on her virus drama

 7-10-20  Yan had an extensive network of professional contacts in various medical facilities in mainland China, having grown up and completed much of her studies there.  She says that is the precise reason she was asked to conduct this kind of research, especially at a time when she says her team knew they weren’t getting the whole truth from the government.   One friend, a scientist at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China had firsthand knowledge of the cases and purportedly told Yan on Dec. 31 about human-to-human transmission well before China or the WHO admitted such spread was possible.

  She reported some of these early findings back to her boss, Yan said.  “He just nodded,” she recalled and told her to keep working.  A few days later, on Jan. 9, 2020, the WHO put out a statement:  “According to Chinese authorities, the virus in question can cause severe illness in some patients and does not transmit readily between people…There is limited information to determine the overall risk of this reported cluster.”

  That, of course, was a lie as Dr. Yan’s research was done for the university and the WHO.  After the January 9th announcement, her virology contacts who she had been talking about COVID with went quiet.  Some of them warned Yan not to ask about details.  https://lidblog.com/dr-li-meng-yan/

7-10-20    Yan said (Chinese) “”hospital doctors are scared, but they cannot talk.  CDC staff are scared."  She said she reported her findings to her supervisor (Poon) again on Jan. 16 but that's when he allegedly told her "to keep silent and be careful.  As he warned me before, 'Don't touch the red line,'" Yan said referring to the government.  "We will get in trouble and we'll be disappeared."

  The WHO has also denied that Yan, Poon or Peiris ever worked directly for the organization.  "Professor Malik Peiris is an infectious disease expert who has been on WHO missions and expert groups--as are many people eminent in their fields," WHO spokeswoman Margaret Ann Harris said in an email.  "That does not make him a WHO staff member nor does he represent WHO.”…

  Yan decided to speak out against China; she discovered her life was apparently in jeopardy as well as that of those closest to her.

It was a fear directly relayed to her and seemingly confirmed by U.S.-based Hong Kong blogger Lu Deh, she says.  https://www.foxnews.com/world/chinese-virologist-coronavirus-cover-up-flee-hong-kong-whistleblower

  Yan received her bachelor degree from Qufu Normal University and MD degree from XiangYa Medical College of Central South University, China, and her PhD from Southern Medical University, China….In July 2020 HKU said:  “Yan never conducted any research on human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus at HKU during December 2019 and January 2020, her central assertion of the said interview.  We further observe that what she might have emphasised in the reported interview has no scientific basis but resembles hearsay."^[22] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-Meng_Yan
