David Crowe | Coronavirus COVID-19: The Risks, The Testing, & The Treatments
Dr. Li Wenliang, Pesticide Poisoning and Medical Hero Narratives
Crowe questions the origin story of the virus, noting that the doctor who first reported it, Li Wenliang, was an ophthalmologist, not a virologist. He speculates that the initial seven cases in Wuhan could have been pesticide poisoning from the seafood market. He suggests that Dr. Li may have died from aggressive "gold-plated" experimental treatments like Remdesivir rather than the virus itself.
