चीन षडयंत्र का खुलासा करते हुए नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता टासुकू होन्जो ने दावा किया है कि “चीनी वायरस अप्राकृतिक तथा मानव निर्मित वायरस है।” यदि ऐसा नहीं होता है तो मैं अपना नोबेल पुरस्कार लौटने को तैयार हूँ। लेकिन दोगले @WHO को समझ नही आ रही है।#chinaVirusMadeInChina #BoycottChina pic.twitter.com/FTPLFAlWAK

FACT CHECK
We fact-checked the above claims and found them to be false.
When we looked for Honjo’s name on the web, we came across the most recent article by Taiwan News published on April 14, wherein Honjo has mentioned that Japan should follow Taiwan, China for preventive strategies against the coronavirus battle.
It states: Honjo stressed that Taiwan would serve as a great model for Japan to follow. He praised Taiwan’s mask rationing system as well as virtual learning platforms and said both could effectively prevent the worsening of Japan’s pandemic.
We then searched by the keywords and found that a claim about Coronavirus being created in a lab was actually made by Nobel laureate and French scientist Luc Montagnier.
Furthermore, we also checked the truth behind Covid-19 being created in a lab. A study in the journal Nature.com, published by multiple science magazines clearly states that the virus was not created in a lab.
Hence, it is clear that Japanese scientist and Nobel Prize winner Tasuku Honjo did not claim that Coronavirus was made in China.
