First, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, led by Dr Shi Zheng-Li, had for some years been engineering bat coronaviruses, including some known to have been very close to the SARS2 virus that has now killed 3 million people. As Wade writes, “Shi set out to create novel coronaviruses with the highest possible infectivity for human cells.” The ambition, ostensibly, was to develop vaccines.
about the success of the Wuhan institute’s researchers in creating more than 100 new SARS-like coronaviruses capable of infecting humans.Secondly, safety practices at the institute were lax. Although it had a BSL4 lab, the highest rating for biological safety, its protocols were not being used. Shi has admitted that much of her bat coronavirus research, including extremely hazardous experiments to enhance the infectivity of viruses, was carried out using BSL2 conditions.
Natural mutation is possible, but supporting evidence has not been found. The evidence suggesting the furin cleavage site was put there by human intervention is highly suggestive. In particular, we know from her published work that Shi had successfully been inserting furin cleavage sites into viruses to make them more infective.
Or it would need an intermediate animal host. None has been found, unlike in the cases of the similar SARS1 and MERS viruses. In other words, writes Wade, “it’s a stretch … to get the pandemic to break out naturally outside Wuhan and then, without leaving any trace, to make its first appearance there”.
‘Many were sceptical’ what you mean like because Trump said it and Facebook were kicking people off their platform if they started talking about it? And Twitter ‘fact checked’ it 🤪
Investigate this first.
“Many were skeptical?” Pretty much everyone would call you insane for positing such a theory. Why did it take this long?
...Trump was ridiculed for saying similar, where is the ridicule of Biden?
Of course it was
It's obvious the US is hellbent on wanting to prove the virus leaked from a lab. It's more to do with politics rather than science. All they're trying to do is slow down China as much as they can, since they'll no longer be number one.
Scepitcal?
Accidentally on purpose maybe? Definitely wouldn't put it past a dictator who locks up millions in concentration camps.
Who knows. But evidence suggests that China did not try too hard to stop the pandemic traveling out of China and around the world. They somehow managed to avoid it getting into Beijing. Wonder how they managed that when it has traveled to every country....
