Will Joe Biden take action against China?

A Chinese virologist, who was among the first to suggest the COVID-19 virus leaked from a Wuhan lab, said that US top coronavirus advisor Anthony Fauci's emails prove that she was right all along. A trove of Fauci's emails covering the onset of the coronavirus outbreak was released this week to media under a freedom of information request.

In one email sent last April, an executive at a health charity thanked Fauci for publicly stating that scientific evidence does not support the lab-leak theory.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan was one of the first to research the emerging coronavirus and previously revealed she was forced into hiding after accusing Beijing of a cover-up, New York Post reported.

Now, as international leaders finally focus on her Wuhan lab-leak theory, Dr. Li-Meng Yan told media that Fauci's emails contain "a lot of useful information" suggesting he always knew more than he revealed.

"They verify my work from the very beginning, even from last January, that these people know what happened, but they choose to hide for the Chinese Communist Party and for their own benefits," Dr. Li-Meng Yan insisted speaking of the treasure trove of documents released this week.

"He knows all these things," she insisted of Fauci and the apparent gain-of-function work carried out by the now-notorious Wuhan Institute of Virology in the heart of the city where the pandemic first emerged.

One email, she said, showed that "Dr. Fauci even back to 1st of February last year immediately realized that there would be gain-of-function experiment involved in the COVID-19 virus."

Over 3,000 pages of emails were obtained by the Washington Post, Buzzfeed News and CNN through Freedom of Information Act requests, date from January to June 2020.

The emails have sparked the debate whether Fauci chose to remain mum despite knowing about the onset of the virus.

The emails revealed about early days of the US Covid outbreak. Dr Fauci and his colleagues took notice, in the early days, of the theory that COVID-19 may have leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

Following this, Joe Biden said on Sunday (June 13) China had to be more transparent and allow access to their laboratories, so the West could determine whether or not the Covid-19 virus was the result of "an experiment gone awry".

"We haven't had access to the laboratories to determine whether or not, - I've not reached a conclusion because our intelligence community is not certain yet.

Biden's statement had raised a questions among the people and receiving negative feedback.
