Moderna CEO, Stephan Bancel’s previous job was CEO of bioMérieux. bioMérieux’s founder helped set up the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

I made this comment in a thread about Moderna owning patents to some sequences on the spike protein, but I thought it deserved it’s own post.

The CEO of Moderna, Stephan Bancel was previously the CEO of bioMérieux. The founding chairman of bioMérieux is Alain Mérieux.

Alain Mérieux also served as Co-President of the Franco-Chinese Committee on Emerging Infectious Diseases, alongside the Minister of Health, Professor Chen Zhu. In this role, Mr. Mérieux was instrumental in creating the high-security P4 Laboratory that opened in Wuhan in 2014.

Xi Jinping visited bioMérieux in 2014

Pretty crazy coincidence.
