Wuhan Institute of Virology nominated for China's top science award

Amid mounting suspicion of a possible virus leak in a lab accident, Wuhan Institute of Virology has been nominated for China's top science award, according to a local media outlet Sina News. The Chinese Academy of Sciences reportedly nominated the Wuhan Institute of Virology for conducting "the most comprehensive and systematic identification research on the aetiology of Covid-19."

Wuhan lab’s classified work complicates search for pandemic’s origins

The U.S. State Department said in January that the Wuhan lab had worked on classified projects, including animal experiments, with China’s military since at least 2017. The Washington Post was unable to independently confirm that, but found public records of the lab working with Chinese military hospitals on unclassified projects for drug development and AIDS prevention, as well as instances in which lab officials mentioned classified projects at the institute.

The first sentence sounds funny, in a sad way: "Amid mounting suspicion of a possible virus leak in a lab accident, Wuhan Institute of Virology has been nominated for China's top science award."

Yes! It makes you wonder what the other labs are like, if that questionable one is up for a top prize. Funny, but not funny.

Re: Wuhan Institute of Virology nominated for China's top science award

It's a political award.

Re: Wuhan Institute of Virology nominated for China's top science award

And politics is as clean as the Chinese lab.

Re: Wuhan Institute of Virology nominated for China's top science award
