evidence: A Facebook (FB) post quoting Nobel Prize winner and esteemed Japanese immunologist Tasuku Honjo as saying that the virus behind COVID-19 is "completely artificial" and was manufactured in China, is a sham. [...] The fabricated post also claimed Honjo worked four years in a laboratory in Wuhan, China, where cases of COVID-19 first emerged. However, his profile on the Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine website shows no such record. The fake post surfaced on public social media pages about a week after another Nobel prize winner, French virologist Luc Montagnier, claimed April 17 in a media interview that the novel coronavirus was "created in a laboratory." The same day, the office of French president Emmanuel Macron said there is no evidence so far of a link between a Wuhan laboratory and the origins of COVID-19.
