Zhou Yusen (Chinese: 周育森) was a Chinese military scientist allegedly involved in the filing of a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine as early as February 2020,[1] raising questions about the pandemic's origins and COVID-19 lab leak theory. He died in mysterious conditions falling from a Wuhan building in May 2020.[2]

Alleged Involvement in COVID-19 Vaccine Patent

Reports surfaced that Zhou Yusen, a decorated military scientist for the People's Liberation Army, allegedly filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine on February 24, 2020. This filing occurred just five weeks after China acknowledged human-to-human transmission of the virus. The patent was attributed to the Academy of Military Medical Sciences suggesting potential involvement of the Chinese military in vaccine research.

Zhou Yusen had purportedly collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and US scientists before his untimely death in May 2020 under mysterious circumstances. The timing of the vaccine patent filing has raised concerns about the possible commencement of related research earlier than publicly acknowledged.

Controversies and Speculation

The circumstances surrounding Zhou Yusen's alleged vaccine patent filing and subsequent death contribute to ongoing controversies surrounding the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. International investigations, including those ordered by President Biden,[3] are reportedly probing Zhou's demise as part of efforts to understand the pandemic's origins.

Zhou's connections to both the Chinese military and US institutions, including his prior research affiliations with the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and collaborations with the New York Blood Center, have added complexity to the investigation.

The alleged collaboration between Zhou Yusen and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, particularly with prominent scientist Shi Zhengli, has drawn attention amid increasing international scrutiny over the lab's activities and its possible ties to the pandemic.

Investigations and International Interest

International investigations, including declassified US intelligence, suggest potential undisclosed military activities at the Wuhan Institute of Virology despite its portrayal as a civilian institution. These findings have sparked inquiries into whether research funding from various sources, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), might have been diverted to undisclosed military projects at the institute.[4]

The alleged genetic manipulation research on coronaviruses, funded in part by the NIH, has raised questions about transparency and the potential dual-use nature of scientific research conducted at the Wuhan lab.[5]

The details surrounding Zhou Yusen's alleged patent filing and his subsequent death have been highlighted in investigative reporting, contributing to ongoing discussions and inquiries regarding the origins of the pandemic.
