Wuhan Scientists Admit They Were Bitten by Bats in 2017

Scientists in Wuhan, China, where the COVID-19 outbreak originated, have admitted that they were bitten by bats. This was reported by Lenta, referencing Taiwan News.

One of the researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology stated that in 2017, while collecting samples in caves where bats resided, one of them bit him. "One of their fangs pierced my rubber glove like a needle," he said. However, at the time, the scientist did not give it any significance, convincing himself that he had been vaccinated against rabies.

Additionally, footage filmed by Chinese television in 2017 shows scientists interacting with bats without masks or gloves, grossly violating WHO standards. It was already known then that bats are carriers of numerous deadly viruses, including SARS.
