Wuhan Lab Conducted Coronavirus Experiments on Humanized Mice in 2019

New questions about the origin of SARS-CoV-2 have arisen in connection with humanized mice experiments that the Wuhan Lab conducted in 2019. The Taiwan News asks: Is it possible there was a lab accident during these experiments with bat SARS coronaviruses that led to the COVID-19 pandemic? 

The information could help pinpoint whether the lab was experimenting with viruses that only infected bats, but through genetic manipulation were then tweaked to enable them to infect humans, the Taiwan News explains.

According to a source that spoke with the news agency, "This research involved 'novel' bat coronaviruses inoculated into immuno-suppressed mice with humanized features, such as hACE2, and possibly humanized lungs, bone marrow, etc ... " and that "Such experiments were a recipe for disaster, as we know."
