Yan Limeng, a coronavirus expert who fled to the United States from the University of Hong Kong, appeared to expose the CCP’s concealment of the epidemic and quickly exploded public opinion. When interviewed, Yan Limeng only mentioned the names of two people, Malik Peiris and Leo Poon. One of them is the co-director of the World Health Organization (WHO) laboratory in Hong Kong, and the other is a WHO expert consultant.
Both of them are professors of the University of Hong Kong. Leo Poon was a student of Malik Peiris and Yan Limeng's director of the virus laboratory at the University of Hong Kong. Yan Limeng said that the two of them suppressed the dangerous information she provided about SARS-CoV-2 and refused to announce it. Leo also told Yan Limeng, "Don't cross the (CCP) red line."
Malik Peiris is a microbiologist and pathologist from Sri Lanka. He received his Ph.D. from the School of Pathology at Oxford University in the United Kingdom and then came to Hong Kong. He focuses on infectious diseases caused by novel coronaviruses between humans and animals, including influenza, coronavirus (SARS, MERS) and so on. He is considered to be the first person to isolate the SARS-CoV.
Malik has served or is serving as the co-director of the Pasteur Research Center of the University of Hong Kong, the co-director of the H5 Reference Laboratory of the University of Hong Kong and the WHO, and the head of the virology department of the School of Public Health of the University of Hong Kong.
WHO established a global network of H5 reference laboratories in 2004 to meet the challenges posed by H5N1. HKU H5 Reference Laboratory is one of its founding members. In August 2015, the University of Hong Kong held the unveiling ceremony of the WHO Collaborative Center for Epidemiology and Control of Infectious Diseases and the WHO H5 Reference Laboratory. At that time, WHO Director-General Chen Feng Fuzhen and Malik attended the ceremony. Chen Feng Fuzhen was the Director of the Department of Health of the Hong Kong Government and was accused of being elected WHO Director-General with the support of the CCP.
According to the official website of the University of Hong Kong, Malik was a member of the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Expert Group on Immunization Experts, serving in several WHO committees, and represented WHO in investigating H7N9 Influenza A in mainland China and MERS in South Korea and Saudi Arabia.
In 2003, he isolated the pathogen of SARS in the laboratory of the University of Hong Kong and used real-time PCR to diagnose SARS with his collaborators.
Leo Poon was a student of Pei Weishi, and later became his colleague and collaborator. Together they published a research paper on SARS-CoV-2 in the journal Natural Science.
According to the official website of the University of Hong Kong, Pan Liewen is a virology expert from several international organizations, including the WHO Influenza Virus Molecular Diagnostics Working Group.
In 2003, Leo Poon and Malik Peiris studied SARS virus together. He is considered to be the first to crack the sequence of SARS coronavirus. Pan Liewen’s research expanded to find new virus species in wild animals, including the discovery of novel coronaviruses in bats.
In 2020, Leo and Malik published a paper in The Lancet to study the survival time of SARS-CoV-2 on the surfaces of different materials.
These public data show that the research directions of these two people are closely related to the novel coronavirus, including antibody promotion, cytokine storm, and animal reorganization. They are also closely related to WHO.
After Yan Limeng's interview with Fox News in the United States, WHO responded to Fox that Leo and Malik only served as consultants, implying that they are not members of the WHO.
But time commentator Tang Jingyuan pointed out that WHO's response was a vague focus. The point of the question is whether WHO obtained the warning information from Yan Limeng from Leo Poon or Malik Peiris, and whether a reasonable response has been made to this, rather than whether their identity can represent WHO. WHO has not given a clear answer to this key question, and it is obvious that it is avoiding the importance.
WHO has previously been accused of being influenced by the CCP. Hong Kong's "Apple Daily" reported on 16 April that all this began when Chen Feng Fuzhen became the Director-General of WHO in 2006. When SARS broke out in 2003, Chen Feng Fuzhen, then director of the Hong Kong Department of Health, was accused of helping the CCP cover-up the epidemic. During the covid epidemic, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who succeeded Chen Feng Fuzhen as WHO Director-General, was also criticized for covering up the epidemic.
According to Hong Kong media, Tedros is a high-level member of the Ethiopian Marie-Leninist Party "Tigre People's Liberation Front". During the party's rule of Ethiopia before 2018, he served as the country's health minister and foreign minister.
Malik was born in Sri Lanka. The full name of Sri Lanka is "Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka." Although the democratic system is implemented, the left-wing political parties in the country are very active, and the country's political system is also full of "socialist factors."
