Chinese authorities confirmed the first cases were identified in Wuhan in mid-December 2019, with that information being released to the public weeks later.
But defector and democracy campaigner Wei Jingsheng made a stunning accusation in Sky News’ new documentary, What Really Happened In Wuhan, telling reporter Sharri Markson – who has also penned a book by the same name – that he believed the first Covid superspreader event could have occurred as early as October.
And in a horrifying revelation, he suggested it may have been intentional.
The World Military Games – likened to the Olympic Games for military athletes – were held in Wuhan from October 19-27, 2019.
More than 9000 athletes from over 100 countries across the globe attended – and soon after, reports emerged that some had fallen ill from a mystery sickness.
