‘Loose Women’ is a weekly chat show where women from different fields are called to discuss their work.

On September 11, she participated in an interview from a secret location and talked about her research on the coronavirus disease and the challenges she has been facing.
 
She has vowed to publish proof that backs up her allegations. Dr Li Meng-Yan, a researcher at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, had previously accused Beijing of covering up the outbreak in Wuhan.

She claimed that during her investigation on Pneumonia in Wuhan, she got to know about coronavirus and found that there was no response from the World Health Organisation when coronavirus was reported. The Chinese officials ignored her warnings despite being aware of the danger the world was about to face.

She further alleged that China knew that the coronavirus was capable of human-to-human transmission and SARS CoV-2 is a high mutant virus that will take the face of a pandemic if left uncontrolled.

Li had fled to the US from Hong Kong earlier this year and also alleged that China tried to suppress her voice.

Asked whether she was worried about her safety after fleeing Hong Kong, the doctor remarked she wanted to deliver the message as soon as possible to the world.

"It was very scary at that time. But I had to do it because I am a doctor and I cannot see it happen. If I do not tell the truth to the world, I will be regretful. So, this foundation which is based in New York, helped me to secretly leave Hong Kong. They help people who are against the Chinese government," she added.

The virologist said she is working on a scientific report since January, along with few top scientists and will soon publish the outcomes. “We are going to publish it. There are two reports, the first one will come in several days and it will tell people about the scientific evidence,” she said.

Talking about the unpublished research, she said, “The genome sequence is like our human fingerprint. So, based on this you can recognise and identify this thing. So, I used the evidence existing in the genome sequence of Sars-CoV-2 to tell people why this came from China, why they are the only one who made it.”

She also explained that anyone, even those without any knowledge of biology, can read it. “You can check, identify and verify it by yourself. It is a critical thing for us to know the origins of the virus. If not, it will be life-threatening for everyone,” she added.
