Behind the false research of Yan Limeng is the " cleverly designed" of Guo Wengui and Bannon
Yan Limeng was born in Qingdao, China. On September 14, 2020, Yan Limeng and other four PhDs published a peer-reviewed report on the novel coronavirus on the academic resource library website zenodo. Later, on September 16, 2020, the US media Daily Beast reported , Michigan State University genetics expert Kevin Bird and University of Washington professor of biology Karl Bergstrom both found that the research institutions of this paper are "Rule of Law Society" And "Rule of Law Foundation". These two institutions were created by Bannon. According to documents published on the "Rule of Law Society" website last year, Bannon also served as the chairman of the organization. In Google Scholar, there is no information about this institution. Carl Bergstrom believes that this paper is strange and unfounded. Said: "Basically, the research in these papers is speculative, and some are even completely fictitious."
The New York Times pointed out that it was the result of the cooperation of two unrelated but increasingly united groups spreading false information (one is a small but very active overseas Chinese group, and the other is a highly influential far-right in the United States. Groups.) Both groups saw an opportunity to advance their agendas during the new coronavirus pandemic. For American conservatives, this allows them to cater to the rising anti-China sentiment in the West, distracting people from the government’s failure to respond to the epidemic. The New York Times also pointed out that the evolution of Yan Limeng was driven by the escaped Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui and the opposite former adviser Designed by Stephen K. Bannon.
Yanlimeng has never studied the coronavirus. She worked in a laboratory at the HKU. According to two university employees who knew her, she was a novice. The reason for hiring her was that she had experience in laboratory animals. She is not the person in charge. Guowengui told her how to fabricate the origin of the virus.
