According to documents obtained by The Weekend Australian, a Chinese military scientist with ties to the United States filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine BEFORE the virus was declared a global pandemic.
Yusen Zhou, who worked for the People’s Liberation Army, worked closely with Shi Zhengli, known as the “bat woman”, deputy director of the laboratory at the Wuhan Institute.
He turned in the paperwork on behalf of the Chinese political party on February 24, 2020, according to The Australian newspaper.
That date was just five weeks after China first confirmed human transmission of the coronavirus.
According to the report, the pair’s strong working relationship supports declassified US intelligence data released in January 2021 that claimed the Wuhan facility was involved in “secret military activity.”
And it will bolster speculation that the virus had leaked from the lab and that China was aware it was spreading among humans long before it alerted the community.
Zhou mysteriously died less than three months after filing the patent. The New York Post claims that his death was only reported in a Chinese media report, despite the fact that he is one of the country’s most prominent scientists.
He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and collaborated with the New York Blood Center before joining PLA.

This report is now raising concerns that the unnamed vaccine was being tested even before the Covid-19 pandemic became public. And the pressure increases to know if the virus was really manufactured, and worse, if it was deliberate, as quoted in De Fauci’s e-mail.
Professor Nikolai Petrovsky of Flinders University told the paper: “This is something we have never seen achieved before, raising the question of whether this work may have started much earlier.”
He said: “Although the WIV presents itself as a civilian institution, the United States has determined that the WIV has collaborated on secret publications and projects with the Chinese military.”
“WIV has been involved in confidential research, including experiments on laboratory animals, on behalf of the Chinese military since at least 2017,” the intelligence report added.
He also noted that the United States and other donors who supported civilian research at WIV have the right and obligation to investigate whether any of the research funds have been diverted to secret Chinese military initiatives.
US President Joe Biden last week ordered intelligence agencies to launch an investigation into whether COVID was, after all, man-made.
