Coronavirus may have been a 'cell-culture experiment' gone wrong | Sky News Australia

16min

EXCLUSIVE: The coronavirus that has become a world-wide pandemic may have been created in a “cell-culture experiment” in a laboratory, according to prominent scientists who have conducted ground-breaking research into the origins of the virus.

news_australian “Can’t put brains in statues”. Hello you, it is sad but true.

China is hiding the truth. ChinaLiedPeopleDied BoycottChina

0ldManStoneZone Translation: Bioweapon warfare.

SharriMarkson to use for what

Gain of function research was being conducted at Wuhan lab using bat corona virus. The exact thing that is now a pandemic.

ChineseCommunistParty should give an explanation to the whole world although ChineseCommunistParty is used to telling lie

Good explanation why the scientists prefer manipulated genome to appear as zoonotic....

TheFireTracker2 There’s no Virus

TrevorSutcliffe The way coronavirus enters human cells is by binding to a protein on the surface of lung-cells called ACE2. The study showed the virus bound more tightly to human-ACE2 than to any of the other animals they tested. Not that article in Nature claims not so binding for human!!!

We have to stop China keep making Virus and problem to the World. Please take action to sanction ccp and save the whole world😢

Sky news is as credible as ever.

There are already speculations about the origin of WuhanVirus back in February. COVID19 ChinaLiedPeopleDied ChinaVirus

The coronavirus reported to outbroke in Wuhan has killed several 100 thousand lives within a few months. This is like a world war. How can we trust China not to make this same mistake again? The world should SanctionChina or embargo China.

shiroihamusan ChinaLiedPeopleDied, don't trust any word from China.

It is no doubt that China is in a rush to catch up with the West in virology research. China lured France to aid building the Wuhan Institute of Virology but then dump French scientists once Chinese learned to run it by themselves. Why does China resist to int'l investigation?

That's why independent inquiry is a must, and have to establish fast If the virus is leaked from lab, we have to know how many more pandemics are waiting for us If it's from animals, we have to know which species and take immediate measures

Lies on COVID19, lies on Xinjiang, lies on HongKong… CCP China is literally destroying the world with disinformation.

Never knew there were so many Chinese dick suckers in Australia until coming to this thread.

🙄🤦‍♂️🥱

Great interview.

You forgot 'but It probably not.'

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) exists in other mammals. For the researcher to say “It was like it was designed to infect humans,” is either been a miss quote or a big fib.

No Shit, Ya Think? Took a while for you to figure out the obvious didn't it?

stop trying to start a new cold war

More 💩

Ping to realDonaldTrump 'Sic Em Rex!'

dutchess_becky Can we get past 'may have' by now?

Stop spreading tho conspiracy rubbish !

I would advise everyone to do further reading on this topic, from other experts in the field. Never read one article and assume this is the correct answer * particularly from Murdoch*

Been debunked again and again

I'll believe it when I hear it from a reputable news source.

“May have”, MAY be reputable and a source of accurate non biased information. It MAY not be also.

Made In China.

Talk about a blow up. He said he can’t rule out the possibility and of course we should keep an open mind. As usual Sky is misleading, prejudice and sensational.

Here we go manufactured fake news from your most bullshit new source...

“ ground braking research “ ? Where ? Did they carry this “ ground braking research in China ?

DUH!!!

Murdoch is the virus.

Whether the virus first infected humans at the infamous Wuhan “wet market” or somehow took a more complicated route via a so far unidentified Chinese laboratory, the ultimate source of the novel coronavirus is still the same: wild populations of bats.

Of course it has

It also may have come from two coronaviruses infecting an animal simultaneously and mutating, according to the professor. But you somehow missed putting that in your breathless headline ...

Still waiting for a mathematician to tell us the odds that a virus would accidentally leak at the precise moment China and Russia would love to deploy a bio weapon i.e. when 20,000 US troops began arriving in Europe for war games in January.

Stopped listening or watching your drivel months ago.

SenSHenderson Absolute BS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fort Detrick Bio Lab in Maryland had 2 major incidents in 2019.A virus was uncontained.Lab closed down. What went wrong? Wuhan is a diversion...

Oh you mean Plandemic

Yeah not likely Rupert. You’re string pulling days are over old man

No shit.

Here we go....must be true it’s on Sky

No shit Sherlock!

Sky News, pounding away.

This is crap.

Troubleslayer Does anyone with any intelligence believes any Sky News exclusive. I for one just raise the bat and let it go through to the keeper.

Apologies to all the conspiracy theorists please.

Oh ten fucking years later

news_australian You're a few weeks late with this. The peer reviewed science shows it jumped from animals to humans. Stop showing fraudulent storys

ThisIsNotJournalism boycottmurdoch

May Facts please! 7NewsAustralia COVID19

SharriMarkson An exclusive? A publicly available paper. Already written up here: And paper been here for a while: It is based on computer modelling, not lab testing. Scientists say could be natural, could be something else. They don’t know.

Makes sense

This theory has been discredited several times already but, given that we're into the second stage of a pandemic response, blaming others is to be expected from those seeking to profit from the crisis or use it to dominate others.

If Trump had not frozen like a deer in the coronavirus pandemic headlights, nearly 100,000 US citizens would still be alive...

🤦🏼‍♀️

I won’t be surprised if other virus binds to human protein more tightly too. there is a HUGE gap between “cannot be excluded“ to “likely”. It’s like saying before a murderer is proved guilty, the rest of the 70b people on earth are “likely” the criminal.

SharriMarkson What's your next scoop Sharri? A dossier on Iraq's WMDs?

bullshit ...this has proven to be incorrect but sky pushing this dross

We all know exactly where it came from wuhan lab china

Sky News SkyNewsAus have so poisoned their brand that I can immediately safely assume that this story is nonsense without going to the trouble of reading it. Saves time at least.

Breaking News from Sky News’ exclusive scientific source ...

FakeNews

More racist bullshit from . Scientific opinion has already dismissed this theory. Why do Murdoch outlets keep trying to reheat it? Last one turned out to be a deliberate drop from US embassy.

No shit Sherlock 🤔

Stop peddling bullshit

EXCLUSIVE: extrapolate the stupid. It was a cell culture experiment infecting their own people killing 10's of 1000's. You lot are ridiculous. The only thing broken is the credibility of Sky News.

SharriMarkson thanks for confirming the obvious, that you’re a hack who has no place in serious journalism.

Didn't the nobel laureate who found the AIDS virus say it looked lab made a while back? Interesting explanation on how viruses can develop tho. Thanks 👍

SharriMarkson story. Nuff said

Great click bait given the context in which his statements were made (like 'sure it can't be ruled out just yet...')

You don’t say!

Crikies this is old news

Nonsense

2 scientists whose paper is being peer reviewed - yeh right

Please leave the news to the adults if you wouldn't mind. Off you go outside and play!

SharriMarkson Yep ccp military hybrid warfare.

You might want to listen to experts in the field for a change.

SharriMarkson It was always the CCP military playing around with the ratg13 to make a bioweapon. It is the cornerstone of the CCP hybridwarfare against the US and the West. Wake up. CCPVirus ccp

Sky News looking for scapegoats to blame for Trump's massacre

SharriMarkson Is this from the US ambassador?

SharriMarkson And may not have....? What’s the point of this? auspol

SharriMarkson 'Certainly we can’t exclude the possibility that this came from a laboratory experiment rather than from an animal. They are both open possibilities.” If so, then which Laboratory released the Virus?

Jeepers, how often has it been reported that scientists said the virus was not created in a lab? Hello!!! WHO the hell knows for sure.

Another misrepresentation for headlines. Excuse of a News channel. Your link, note first possibility Two possibilities still open.. a chance transmission of a virus from an as yet unidentified animal to human...or that it was an accidental release of the virus from a laboratory

Bollocks

Sounds more like a case of 'Captain obvious'.

JaggerMickOZ Can you take over the UK broadcast please! Why are you so different when it comes to reporting! Sky news UK peddles all propaganda and sky news Aus calls it out. Why as a brand name are you so different? Please save the UK from KayBurley! 😉

This is Murdoch propaganda. Shameful SkyNewsAust propaganda designed to scapegoat China to deflect from trump’s incompetence. Trump is a massive failure. His incompetence has lead to 100,000 American deaths. Australia should not be pandering to trump’s attack on China. auspol

Interesting all the people who say follow the science don’t want to follow the scientist on sky.

Your news outlet has relocated permanently to the sewer. You publish shit so it’s pretty apt.

Old news - of course the virus escaped from a Chinese virus lab. Its not rocket science.

😂

When it comes to conspiracy theory, sky news is the limit.

Sky-fox-not-news

Gee, you mean created in a lab like Trumps been saying for months?

MortyAUS Imagine our shock

I would think the US would be happy with this theory, they would like to distance themselves from any association to the Wuhan lab they were funding and had CDC/CIA staff working?

WHY IS IT THAT SKTY NEWS HIDE NEWS FROM THE OTHER SIDE?

Its no wonder China aren’t in a independent inquiry.

I guess anyone with an ounce of common would have figured that out.

I’m calling bullsh*t. 🙄

Not this bullsh...t again.

Elizabe28594095 Your Sky News is much better than the crap version we get in the UK.

Dear Sky news Shut up End of message.

MortyAUS DER.

Not only is FakeNewsMedia hopelessly behind CitizenJournalists in this regard, but the conclusion reached are as usual pathetically deceptive.

Thanks China! CCP_is_terrorist CCPVirus

Wait for the peer review but alarming

No Surprise here folks . The world has had its first deliberate chemical/Virus attack.

.Same 'scientists' who don't believe in Climate Change? You're despicable. POLITICISING a public health crisis and spreading LIES during a Pandemic. You should be arrested.

Fake news Fake news Fake news

'EXCLUSIVE' means BULLSHIT!

Coming up next on Fox News, sorry sky news, hydro chloroquine found to cure covid19 in 100% of cases

TRUMP-19 VIRUS USA export to China in October

Bullshit

Coronavirus update: Okay, word of warning to scientifically illiterate journalists (which is most of them), science is just a methodology that provides verified inference - which the community is learning in spades during this pandemic. So, be cautious with this stuff.

Haha don’t be a media like sky news

Lol and the scientists name? Mike Pompeo

Who release IT As in the person zero

America’s coronavirus lockdown ‘was destined to fail’ | Sky News AustraliaAcademics and scientists who were behind the America’s stringent lockdown procedures failed to consider the “collateral damage” the policy would wreak on middle- and lower-class families, according to the Lincoln Network cofounder Aaron Ginn. \n\nMany states across America have implemented lockdowns over the past seven weeks in order to delay the spread of COVID-19.\n\nDespite this, the death toll is nearing 100,000 in America with the Centre of Disease Control warning more people will die once restrictions are lifted.\n\nMr Ginn told Sky News while the disease is serious, many health bureaucrats failed to account for the social cost of shutting down large swathes of the economy.\n\nThe 32-year-old came to international prominence after an article he wrote for the website Medium, which questioned experts’ desire to ‘flatten the curve’, was removed online due to its ‘Controversial, Suspect and Extreme content\n\nHe told Sky News lockdowns “run counter” to free and fair society, which is why they were “destined to fail.”\n\n Dur …. surely no reasonable thinking person believes it is better everyone contract COVID-19. It is not the the Scientists and Academics who do not consider the low and middle class. It is the selfish, wealthy and arrogant, with hearts of stone. Who rather cling to stone cold hate, than change for the betterment of society!! They were keeping people alive first and foremost. The morally corrupt system that has no safety net is the reason people are suffering financially. Billionaires are making money as the majority starve. Address that issue.

Vinnies CEO Sleepout will take place in cars and backyards amid coronavirus outbreak | Sky News AustraliaThe 2020 Vinnies CEO Sleepout will take place in cars, backyards and on couches to ensure the popular fundraiser goes ahead during the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nParticipants will join an interactive live stream event hosted by Television personality Dr Andrew Rochford.\n\nFounder of the sleepout Bernie Fehon told Sky News this year they are “unable to get together, but certainly chosen to press on with the event because people who are homeless, they don’t have a choice to put their life on hold”.\n\n“And what it is doing is giving us the opportunity to emulate what the bulk of our homeless people are doing, and that is sleeping in spots that are fairly invisible,” he said. Nobody cares about events held over video chat it’s lame Do you think Evil Eugenics Man would ever do that ? Of course NOT !! Instead he wants to De Populate & Vaccinate the world with His Poison . seems counter to the reason this thing was started in the first place. The homeless people don't get to find somewhere else to sleep. How many homeless people have been tested, and positive and died? Surely some young healthy people can sleep out whilst social distancing?
