DISINFO: The new coronavirus was engineered in France and then escaped from laboratories in China

SUMMARY

The coronavirus Sars-2 was engineered by the Pasteur Institute, then transferred to China, in the city of Wuhan, in a P4 biological laboratory. Then by accident, it got out of the lab and started a pandemic. This piece of information is hidden by main institutions and media because they don’t want to know where the virus comes from. But real people know it and spread the word.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory with no evidence, the source are rumours, "people say that". There is so far no evidence that the new coronavirus causing the Covid-19 has human sources. Information available point out to the natural origin. Read more pro-Kremlin disinformation cases about the coronavirus.
