Despite evidence that shows the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was actually a “plandemic,” China continues to deny that it orchestrated the virus’ spread across the globe.
But thanks to the efforts of an American professor, the world now has more proof that the coronavirus originated from a lab as a biological weapon, not from bats. According to Professor Jesse Bloom, China deleted patient samples that prove how the coronavirus was
already circulating in Wuhan before China’s alleged “official” timeline of events.
Deleted samples prove the virus was spreading throughout Wuhan BEFORE December 2019
Bloom reported that test samples from patients in Wuhan, coronavirus’ epicenter, were intentionally deleted from an international database used to track the virus’ evolution. Experts are concerned because the deleted files could have provided clues about how the virus actually originated and how long it had been spreading before the reported seafood market outbreak

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Le virus à l origine du COVID-19 pourrait avoir commencé à se propager en Chine dès octobre 2019, deux mois avant que le premier cas ne soit identifié dans la ville de Wuhan, montre vendredi une nouvelle étude.
Renowned scientists recovers deleted SARS-CoV-2 data from Wuhan
Renowned evolutionary researcher, Jesse Bloom from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, has conducted a phylogenetic analysis suggesting that the early severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sequences that were obtained from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China, are not fully representative of the viruses circulating in the city at the time of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.
Bloom’s findings are based on the identification and recovery of a dataset containing SARS-CoV-2 sequences from early on in the Wuhan epidemic that had been deleted from The National Institutes of Health’s Sequence Read Archive.
