-THREADE + SOURCE-

In the period from January to December of last year, the Hamburg nanoscientist Roland Wiesendanger compiled various findings from scientific studies, articles, reports in social media and other sources and
came to the conclusion: The pathogen Sars-CoV-2 is not of natural origin, but comes from a laboratory in Wuhan. The physicist cites the following points as evidence for these theories: To date, no so-called intermediate host animal has been identified that
proves according to the "zoonosis theory" that the coronaviruses were transmitted from bats to humans. A research group at the virological institute in the city of Wuhan has carried out genetic manipulations on coronaviruses for many years.
