Sinister links tracing the Covid-19 pandemic back to a secretive Chinese biological lab emerged even before the UK went into lockdown, the Daily Mirror has learned.
Senior military and intelligence expert Col Richard Kemp was told as far back as March of a “high probability” it came from a warfare facility.
He learned about the Wuhan connection from a senior foreign intelligence source, who claimed analysts “strongly suspected” the source of the disease was China’s virology unit.
If the virus was harnessed from animals and then re-engineered, it may have been earmarked as a biological weapon or been part of research in case of a natural outbreak.
