I’m a Wuhan lab leak whistleblower – I was trailed by the FBI who spied on me with drones & raided my home to silence me
A SCIENTIST who claims Covid was engineered in a US-funded Wuhan lab has accused the FBI of trailing him with drones and breaking into his house to silence him.
Dr Andrew Huff, former vice president at EcoHealth Alliance, said he was followed for more than a year as he began to unravel an alleged extensive "cover-up" by the US government.
Legal documents provided to The Sun Online show whistleblower Dr Huff is preparing to file a legal injunction and temporary restraining order against the FBI and other US government agencies.
In his new book - The Truth About Wuhan - the epidemiologist claims the pandemic was the result of the US government's funding of dangerous genetic engineering of coronaviruses in China.
He branded the origins of the Covid pandemic as one of the greatest cover-ups in history - and claims the "US government is to blame for the transfer of dangerous biotechnology to the Chinese".
Dr Huff said China's gain-of-function experiments - carried out with shoddy biosafety - led to a lab leak at the US-funded Wuhan Institute of Virology.

But as he went public with his explosive claims, the army veteran said the US government launched "an illegal psychological operation" against him.
Dr Huff, an expert in bioterrorism and biowarfare, said his book on Wuhan was delayed by months because "the government hacked his computer".
"It was crazy… I couldn't believe it was happening," he told The Sun Online.
"I felt like a bad dream. I had the Julian Assange treatment, but I hadn't done anything illegal.
"To put it bluntly, I have balls of steel, and I'm not afraid of these people."
He added: "I can tell you the US government agencies involved were the FBI, the Defence Intelligence Agency, and the Department of Homeland Security.
"All the sources of the hacking went back to the Department of Defence.
"I used to work on teams who developed this kind of technology... then I became the target."
EcoHealth Alliance claimed "the emerging consensus, based on peer-reviewed scientific evidence, is that Covid originated through zoonotic spillover".
Scientists and researchers have not yet been able to determine the origins of the pandemic - with a lab leak and a natural source both being probed.
Dozens of experts have suggested Covid could have escaped from the Wuhan lab through an infected researcher, improper disposal of waste, or potential breaches in the security at the site.
Even the head of the World Health Organisation reportedly believes Covid did leak from the lab after a "catastrophic accident".

The National Institutes of Health previously stated in a letter to Congress the bat viruses EcoHealth Alliance were studying in Wuhan could not have become the virus that causes Covid.
