US Scientist Who Worked for Wuhan Lab Says COVID-19 Was ‘Genetically Engineered’

The pandemic was the result of the U.S. government’s funding of dangerous genetic engineering of coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology that was carried out with shoddy biosecurity and led to a lab leak, according to an exclusive pre-release copy of a new book provided to The Sun.

The author of “The Truth About Wuhan,” whistleblower, Dr. Andrew Huff, said in the book that “EcoHealth Alliance and foreign laboratories did not have the adequate control measures in place for ensuring proper biosafety, biosecurity, and risk management, ultimately resulting in the lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Huff is a former vice president of EcoHealth Alliance, an organization that had been studying different coronaviruses in bats for more than a decade with funding from the National Institutes of Health and had developed a close working relationship with the Wuhan lab.

The author calls the incident one of the greatest cover-ups in history — and the “biggest U.S. intelligence failure since 9/11.”

Huff, an army veteran who worked at EcoHealth Alliance from 2014 to 2016, said the organization taught the Wuhan lab the “best existing methods to engineer bat coronaviruses to attack other species” for many years and told The Sun that “I was terrified by what I saw. We were just handing them bioweapon technology.”

Huff said COVID-19 was genetically engineered in Wuhan through the dangerous gain of function research method, funded by the U.S. government, and poor biosafety led to a lab leak. full story
