British media: China deletes 300 studies from Wuhan Institute of Virology, including all research By “bat expert” Shi Zhengli

British media The Mail on Sunday found that many important materials related to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China published by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) are no longer available online, and are suspected to have been removed by the authority, causing a new round of controversy over suspected concealment of the epidemic by the Chinese government.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is suspected to be the source of the virus, and hundreds of pages of information have been deleted, including the research conducted by the Wuhan Institute of Virology and research data of Shi Zhengli, director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology Research Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases. The 56-year-old Shi Zhengli, known as “batwoman”, who often collecting samples for research from bat caves, is regarded as a key figure who knows the source of the virus. The report pointed out that more than 300 studies published by NSFC, including those on animal-to-human diseases, were no longer available. Dozens of studies that were available online were deleted by the state-run institution, including research by Shi Zhengli.

According to the report, studies related to the risk of spreading the SARS-like coronavirus from bats and investigation into human pathogens carried by bats have disappeared, both of which are regards as importing clues to the source of the virus. It revealed China's attempted to hinder the investigation into the source of the virus. Iain Duncan Smith, a Former Leader of the British Conservative Party and member of Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, pointed out that China is trying to hide the evidences, “It is vital that there is a thorough investigation into what happened but China seems to be doing all it can to stop that happening,” he said.

Three unpublished, postgraduate papers are shedding new light on the origin of the #pandemic.

The papers are written by students of a virologist from Wuhan, #ShiZhengli, who serves as director of the emerging infectious diseases center at the #Wuhan Institute of Virology.

#ShiZhengli is a Chinese virologist specializing in bat viruses. She is also the director of the #WuhanInstituteOfVirology. And she is the common thread through which many key research projects and gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses are connected.

There was a virus that was recorded back in 2013 by #ShiZhengli, when it was sourced from the mine shafts in Mojiang County, Yunnan Province—that was the RA/4991. However, when Shi revealed that their lab was in possession of a virus that was a close match to the #CCPVirus, Shi called it RATG13. That name had not been previously mentioned in any articles before. After independent scientists compared the genomes to that of archived genomes, they found out that that RATG13 was in fact, RA/4991.

In April 2012, six miners working to clear an abandoned mine in Mojiang, southwestern #China, became seriously sick with an unknown illness.

Working 200 miles away was a research team led by #ShiZhengli, the director of the #Wuhan Institute of Virology. Shi’s team rushed to the site, where they would spend the next two years collecting samples at the Mojiang mine.

The #DeltaVariant is driving a surge of COVID-19 cases around the world.

But there could be more. On Aug. 4, China’s “bat woman”—#ShiZhengli, behind the controversial Wuhan lab—warned deadly variants are expected to emerge.
