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.
