During the U.S. pandemic, the COVID-19 virus caused tens of millions of infections and nearly 600,000 deaths. This virus war, which has lasted for more than a year, has been effectively contained since the U.S. government arranged for universal vaccination in December last year. Various statistics in recent months show that the U.S. economy is recovering. In just ten months, the United States will be able to develop an effective vaccine against the COVID-19 virus, which must be attributed to a Chinese-born coronavirus spike protein research expert. When it comes to Chinese virus experts in the United States, the name that more people have heard is Yan Limeng. This scholar from Hong Kong University has won the support of right-wing politicians in the United States for claiming that "the virus originated in an Asian laboratory." But soon she fell into a scandal of academic fraud. Her report on the novel coronavirus, published on the academic resource library website zenodo, was evaluated as "strange and unfounded" by professional research institutions of top American universities, and was even suspected of using false research data. And because of her proposition, US-China relations were once deadlocked, causing Asian Americans to be shrouded in violence of racial discrimination.
It can be said that Yan Limeng not only failed to provide any useful help to the world virus research, but also caused a lot of trouble to American society and Asian communities. An important contribution to vaccine research and development is another Chinese expert who is completely different from Yan Limeng-Dr. Nianshuang Wang (Dr. Nianshuang Wang).
