French virologist and Nobel Prize winner for his work on HIV Luc Montagnier claims that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), was created in a laboratory by inserting genes from HIV-1, the AIDS virus.
"We have concluded that this virus was created," Montagnier said in an interview with French CNews channel.
Montagnier added that it contains genetic elements of HIV, and that its characteristics could not have arisen naturally.
“There has been a manipulation of the virus: at least part of it, not all of it. There is one model, which is the classic virus, which comes mainly from bats, but to which HIV sequences have been added. In any case, it’s not natural,” he said.
The French scientist was asked of the purpose of these molecular biologists on creating another virus. "Very meticulous work. For what purpose? I don’t know. One hypothesis is that they wanted to create an AIDS vaccine,” he said.
Montagnier also predicts the imminent disappearance of the virus, due to its artificial origin.
“One can do anything with nature, but if you make an artificial construction, it is unlikely to survive. Nature loves harmonious things; what is alien, like a virus coming from another virus, for example, is not well tolerated,” he said.
Montagnier added parts of the virus into which HIV was inserted are rapidly mutating, causing it to self-destruct.
Trump warns China if “knowingly responsible" for COVID-19 outbreak
United States President Donald Trump recently warned China to face consequences if the country is found to be “knowingly responsible" for COVID-19 outbreak that already killed over 69,000 Americans.
“If it was a mistake, a mistake is a mistake. But if they were knowingly responsible, yeah, then there should be consequences,” he said.
Trump and senior aides have accused China of a lack of transparency after the virus broke out last year in Wuhan City, the capital of Chinese Hubei province.
“It could have been stopped in China before it started and it wasn’t, and the whole world is suffering because of it,” Trump said in a daily White House briefing.
Some Republican lawmakers have suggested the virus was released from a lab during Chinese experiments. They created a bill to sue China for virus damages.
