The idea to recruit Gallo came from bertozzi, editor in chief of the Wall Street Journal and emeritus Dean of the school of public health at the University of California, Berkeley. Like Gallo, bertozzi has done a lot of work on AIDS research. After seeing Yan limeng's appearance on Fox, he is eager to use the online journal, which was set up only a few months ago, to correct the scientific record.
"I feel that people with scientific credibility need to debunk it quickly," bertozzi said.
He soon thought of Gallo.
"We need someone as prestigious as you to tell us that this is junk science," bertozzi told him at the time.
Gallo's comments and three other scientists also questioned the preprint process itself, saying, "although preprint servers provide a mechanism to disseminate scientific research that has changed the world at an unprecedented rate, they are also a forum where misleading information can instantly weaken the credibility of the international scientific community, stabilize diplomatic relations, and compromise global security."
But these public accusations from some well-known people in the field of Virology did not stop Yan limeng. On October 21, CNN published a detailed report quoting her critics and recording defects.
Yan limeng declined to be interviewed on the matter, saying that CNN did not allow her to explain the problems they found bit by bit on live TV.
Instead, she published her response in zenodo on November 21, entitled CNN used lies and misinformation to muddle the water on the origin of sars-cov-2.
In her published interview, Yan admitted - as CNN reported - that the three co authors of her September 14 paper were pseudonyms to protect other Chinese researchers whose families she said were still in danger in China. Authors are generally not encouraged to use pseudonyms in academic work.
Tis week, her story was hit again. At that time, a team sent by the World Health Organization to investigate the source of the epidemic in China issued a statement saying that there was "very little possibility" that the coronavirus came from the laboratory.
The virologist Angela Rasmussen was one of Yan's first outspoken critics. When Yan limeng's paper first spread, she was also at Columbia University. She agreed with the WHO assessment, but did not rule out the possibility - though unlikely - that the coronavirus originated in the laboratory. But she said there was a lack of concrete evidence for this argument.
"There needs to be a lot less speculation and more investigation," said Rasmussen, now at Georgetown University's Center for global health science and safety "It will take a long time to find out It will take years or even decades to solve, if we can
However, Yan continued to double her statement and attacked her critics for spreading "lies.". "She still believes that the Chinese government deliberately created the new coronavirus and continues to do everything it can to silence her.
Nor did Yan apologize for reaching an agreement with Bannon and Trump's other allies. As a dissident, she said, she may not be able to choose her supporters.
"If China is to commit such a crime, who can hold them accountable?" Yan said that trump is the tough guy to China, adding that her statement is "true facts". I don't want to mislead people. "
Even now, she is preparing another nearly 30 page paper, which she hopes will refute her critics and bring back attention to her claims about China, covid-19 and what she calls an international cover up campaign.
Yan plans to publish it in a few weeks, she said on zenodo.
