Sometime in November 2019, three research staff members from the Wuhan Institute of Virology allegedly fell ill with symptoms “consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illness” – as reported in retrospect in a U.S. intelligence report in May 2021. [1, 2]
On June 14, 2023 the Twitter Files journalists broke the news that sources within the US government are 100% certain of the identity of the three individuals who became infected with SARS-CoV-2 in November 2019, they are Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu.
Ben Hu, who was Shi Zhengli’s “star pupil”, led the risky Gain-of-Function research on SARS-like bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, working together with Ping and Zhu. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
It’s not clear what time in November these three Wuhan lab staff fell ill, but this doesn’t explain the sickness following the Wuhan military games in October 2019, nor the SARS-CoV-2 antibodies found in blood taken in Italy, September 2019.
