Being a true scientist would be undeniable if there wasn’t that “who wants proof,” as a professional golfer would be if it weren’t for “having to put the ball in the hole. “
The lack of genuine clinical evidence has been the great gap in ongoing conspiracy theories that covid-19 coronavirus was manufactured in China. I covered those conspiracy theories in March for Forbes and discussed how scientists and clinical studies discredited those claims. and instead pointed to the herbal origins of SARS-CoV2.
But in those days, conspiracy theories, like the Covid-19 coronavirus, don’t seem to just disappear and disappear, whether or not there’s a herd mentality or whatever. Now, a user named Li-Meng Yan, who is classified as “whistleblower,” claims to have the big word” and “. No, no ‘eggplant parmesan’, but evidence of conspiracy theory” China-made-the-virus. “And what can Steve Bannon have to do with all this?
On Tuesday, Yan gave the impression on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight”. As can be seen in this video, Carlson presents Yan as a virologist who claims to have evidence of the origin of this pandemic:
The challenge is that they were never actually given the “what evidence” component of the conversation. During the segment, Yan made several general statements, but Carlson did not actually pressure him to provide verifiable evidence of his claims.
In fact, some of Yan’s statements brought conspiracy theory to the level. For example, he stated that “the global clinician is also silent, he works with the Chinese Communist Party, they don’t need other people to know his truth. That’s why I’m suspended, I’m repressed, I’m the target of this Chinese communist. The party has to disappear. “
Is the entire clinical world working with the Chinese Communist Party?Oh, really, does the global clinic know? Getting scientists to wear matched garments or agree on an order for dinner can be a challenge, let it go with the Chinese Communist Party. Once again, Carlson never questioned Yan about such claims.
So who exactly is Yan? Carlson has not delved into his qualifications, experience or experience. The only thing transparent is that she is the lead writer of an “article” that was published on Zenodo and is called “Unusual features of the SARS-CoV-2 genome Suggests a complicated laboratory amendment rather than herbal evolution and delineation of its probability Synthetic Route. This is a fairly long name for an “scientific studies article. “
Please note that Zenodo is in peer-reviewed clinical journals what is the local miniature golf course on the PGA Tour. Virtually anyone can publish an article about Zenodo. All you want is Internet access and, well, all you want is Internet access. . Oh, you’ll also have to know how to use an Internet browser and have written something.
The document itself looks more like an opinion article than an original study article. It makes a number of unstantiated claims such as “it deserves to be noted that clinical journals have obviously censored all dissenting reviews suggesting an uninstantiated origin of SARS-CoV-2. “Nor does the document provide much concrete evidence of claims that the virus was manufactured. For example, locating that the SARS-CoV-2 genomic series is similar to that of a bat coronavirus discovered through army laboratories does not in itself mean that SARS-CoV-2 was designed by bioengineering.
Ultimately, before this article can be taken seriously, you will need to go through a formal clinical review through accredited virologists, who can further analyze the evidence provided. During the peer review process, reviewers may request more data and knowledge about the article’s claims. If authors cannot provide the data, the article would have as much credibility as a Tinder profile. You can say that you’re really attractive and that you have moves like Jagger, but at the end of the day, you have to convert it.
More interestingly, the 4 authors of the paper, Li-Meng Yan, Shu Kang and Jie Guan, and Shanchang Hu, are affiliated with the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation. It doesn’t exactly look like a virology lab or a clinical study facility.
Well, if you make a stop on the Rule of Law Society website, look for a video of Steve Bannon (instead of a Steve Bannon) pronouncing the formation of the Rules of Law Society and the state alongside the founder. Corporate lists as his mission: “to denounce corruption, obstruction, illegality, brutality, false imprisonment, exaggerated punishment, harassment, and widespread inhumanity in China’s political, legal, advertising, and monetary systems. “Looks like the company’s not a fan of China.
Bannon was also not in love with other people of Asian descent. Her comments about other Asians even led Maya Kosoff to write an article for The Atlantic titled “Steve Bannon’s racist comments about Silicon Valley are also incredibly inaccurate. “Frank H Wu, a law professor and president of Queens College at City University in New York, wrote an article for The Guardian titled: “Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon are fueling a new yellow danger at Google and China. “
Again, if you have genuine clinical evidence that SARS-CoV2 did not seem natural, simply send it to reputable genuine clinical journals on a peer-reviewed basis for publication. rejection letters and comments from the critic. Scientific journals can be quite competitive with each other, competing for articles and eyes. (Not literally, which would be rude, but figurative). ) So, if you really have a “bomb” test, chances are you’ll locate at least one clinical journal to publish.
