Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the AIDS virus, says the new coronavirus is the result of a lab accident. Interviewed on the French CNews channel, he said the characteristics of the new coronavirus could not have arisen naturally.
According to the Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the result of an attempt to manufacture a vaccine against the AIDS virus, Agence France reported.
Montagnier says the presence of elements of HIV in the genome of the new virus and even elements of the “germ of malaria” are highly suspect, the report said.
