Chinese COVID Vaccine Based on Technology Developed Jointly by Fired Winnipeg Scientist and PLA Major General: Expert

The COVID-19 vaccine developed by Chinese company CanSino, with whom Ottawa partnered before the deal fell through, used technology developed in a 2016 paper on Ebola by a now-fired scientist from a government laboratory in Winnipeg and a Chinese major general, an expert says. The government’s partnership on the clinical development of the CanSino vaccine,…


WHO Failed to Investigate Deleted Virology Database and Evidence Indicating Earlier Start of Pandemic

Commentary On Sept. 12, 2019, the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s database of viral sequences was taken offline. The deleted database, which has never been publicly recovered, contained more than 22,000 unpublished samples and sequences of bat and rodent viruses. Notably, the database contains crucial data and may hold the key to determining whether the lab…
