A 2008 Nobel Prize recipient for discovering the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has weighed in on the controversy about the origin of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and insisted that it is laboratory-made.
Four days prior to US President Donald Trump's threat of new tariffs against Beijing, claiming there is evidence linking the coronavirus to a lab in China's ground-zero city of Wuhan, French scientist Luc Montagnier who discovered HIV said COVID-19 was a creation of an expert.
Interviewed on the CNews channel in France, Montagnier asserted that the virus had been designed by molecular biologists, stating that it contains genetic elements of HIV, and that its characteristics could not have arisen naturally.
Asked by the CNews interviewer what the goal of these molecular biologists could be, Montagnier said it wasn’t clear. “My job,” he said, “is to expose the facts.”
Montagnier said that "he didn’t know who had done it, or why," but suggested that possibly the goal had been to make an AIDS vaccine."
But he said that the lab virus is “a professional job… a very meticulous job,” describing its genome as being a “clockwork of sequences.”
“There’s a part which is obviously the classic virus, and there’s another mainly coming from the bat, but that part has added sequences, particularly from HIV–the AIDS virus,” he said.
COVID-19 origin question
Montagnier also asserted that questions on the true origin of the virus would continue to be raised for a long time as the whole world has already spent trillions of dollars in the fight against the pandemic.
He inferred that the allegedly man-made virus, whose genome consists of a “clockwork of sequences” and includes elements of HIV, could not have been assembled by amateurs.
And questions about its origin and purpose would not escape scrutiny, and are unlikely to disappear soon.
On April 3, Blomberg reported that the global cost of COVID-19 was estimated to be at $4.1 trillion.
A CNBC report on April 9 predicted that the resulting coronavirus depression would be bigger than the one in 2008, and would bled the world of up to $20 trillion or more.
