They didn’t make a more deadly strain.
It was sensationalist reporting.
— My opinion is the reason for the sensationalism was to keep the “Covid is dangerous” narrative going. Trying to claim it could mutate in to a deadly form at anytime so lockdowns, voting dropboxes, vaccine mandates etc… are all still necessary.
RE: They didn’t make a more deadly strain.
Then what is this sentence doing in the article:
“But instead of another mild variant, they produced one with an 80% lethality rate.”
