I'd be 100% in favour of a proper investigation into the origin of the virus, but a Google search for "Huang Yanling Wuhan" doesn't inspire much confidence. The majority of the first 30 hits are from Murdoch papers or others like the Daily Mail. There isn't one I could find in the first 30 that appears reputable IMO.
I'm not sure whether the Murdoch media is more credible than the propaganda produced by the Chinese Communist Party, but the same must be said for tweets about "patient zero".
Huang Yanling was a post graduate student at the Wuhan Institute of Virology but she hasn't published anything since 2015. I suspect that the Chinese Communist Party doesn't have the ability to manipulate the very broad range of academic publications and the absence of publications by Huang Yanling is real rather than a COVID conspiracy theory.
It seems that "patient zero" is more likely to a be someone who contracted COVID-19 a couple of months before the Wuhan outbreak.
