foxnews | Hours before she boarded an April 28 Cathay Pacific
flight to the United States, the respected doctor who specialized in
virology and immunology at the Hong Kong School of Public Health had plotted her escape, packing her bag and sneaking past the censors and video cameras on campus.
She
had her passport and her purse and was about to leave all of her loved
ones behind. If she was caught, she knew she could be thrown in jail --
or, worse, rendered one of the "disappeared."
Yan told Fox News in an exclusive interview that she believes the Chinese government knew about the novel coronavirus well
before it claimed it did. She says her supervisors, renowned as some of
the top experts in the field, also ignored research she was doing at
the onset of the pandemic that she believes could have saved lives.
She adds that they likely had an obligation to tell the world, given their status as a World Health Organization reference
laboratory specializing in influenza viruses and pandemics, especially
as the virus began spreading in the early days of 2020.
Yan, now
in hiding, claims the government in the country where she was born is
trying to shred her reputation and accuses government goons of
choreographing a cyber-attack against her in hopes of keeping her quiet.
Yan
believes her life is in danger. She fears she can never go back to her
home and lives with the hard truth that she’ll likely never see her
friends or family there again.
