Recent findings in a report in an Australian daily has yet again reinforced the call that international investigators must dig deeper to rule out whether COVID-19 is a made-in-China bio-weapon.
The controversy about COVID-19 origins has resurfaced after the Weekend Australian newspaper revealed that Chinese scientists were thinking about bio-weapons, visualising a Word War-3 scenario.
The daily cited a Chinese government document which discussed the weaponisation of SARS coronavirus. Titled The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons , the 2015 paper was authored by Chinese scientists, Chinese public health officials and members of the People s Liberation Army (PLA).

China has attempted to play down the so-called “leaked documents” which have been used to suggest that its scientists discussed the weaponisation of coronavirus five years before the Covid-19 pandemic began. x
While officials are yet to issue a statement on the matter, the state-run Global Times newspaper lashed out at The Australian for their report calling it “an embarrassing article that smears China over the origins of Covid-19”.

They made their discovery in 2017 â almost 15 years after the first SARS outbreak.
Around the same time as the researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were searching for the bats, another group of Chinese researchers were working on a far less credible theory â that SARS had been weaponised by foreign countries and introduced to China. The claim was published in a 2015 book,
