Excellent background piece about “virologist” Yan and the three nonexistent co-authors of her #CCPVirus report funded through Guo Wengui/MilesGuo. @JordanSchachtel @WarRoomPandemic #CPDChina jordanschachtel.substack.com/p/covid-19-whi…

2) From @JordanSchachtel’s report: “misleading credentials:
Li-Meng Yan is not a board certified medical doctor.”

3) “her academic credentials appear to call into question her technical knowledge and level of access that is necessary to advance an empirical claim on this level.”

4) “Dr. Yan’s coauthors on the report are either not real people or pseudonyms. Dr. Yan co-authored her report with 3 PhDs identified as Shu Kang, Jie Guan, and Shanchang Hu. These individuals have no established history of publishing any work under their names.”

5) “The paper did not include the promised evidence that she claimed to possess showing that the virus was created in a lab and/or purposely released by the Chinese military. It simply offered a thesis arguing why that was the case.”

6) “Yan has been continuing to push the narrative, contrary to evidence, that COVID-19 is an incredibly lethal bioweapon that was created to kill Americans.”
(Pointing out Yan’s fallacy does not discount the fact that the CCP is to blame for policies that unleashed the pandemic.)
