Genetic Warfare

Civil Defense Perspectives vol. 36 #5

From bat soup or lab leak? Much controversy has surrounded this question. But what if SARS-CoV-2 was intentional? A 2015 book, The Unnatural Origins of SARS and Man-Made Genetic Weapons of New Human Viruses, edited by Dezhong Xu and Feng Li, published by the Military Medical Science Press (Beijing), and translated by Volunteers of Miles Guo’s Whistleblower Movement, provides extensive historical and scientific background.
