A lead virologist and her team at a Wuhan lab warned of the possibility of SARS-like coronavirus outbreaks in China 11 months before the novel coronavirus epidemic ravaged the city.
The ominous prediction came from a study carried out by Shi Zhengli and her colleagues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology when they stressed the importance of conducting investigations of viruses from bats.
Shi, nicknamed the 'Bat Woman', allegedly sequenced the genes of the new coronavirus in three days after the epidemic emerged, but was silenced by her boss.

Since when is MERS spelled SARS ?
Because it is spelled SARS

Do you work for Chapel Hill? Why do you pretend there weren’t working on SARS like virus in that study? Are you Dr Baric trying to dissociate the study with what is going on ? Do you work for him?
I just dont get it. Something is wrong with the way you respond on this topic.
SARS is spelled SARS..
https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/113/11/3048.full.pdf?sid=05ebeac0-e981-4741-b9c5-76e53457d29f
If you cannot trust the communists and the democrats then who can you trust....!
no, they used a ‘cousin’ virus. Not SARS.
most likely, this one:
“ Baric presented the work by Deng et al. (2014), who proposed to optimize a safer mouse model for in vivo drug screening using the non-pathogenic recombinant Sindbis virus (alphavirus) expressing a SARS proteinase”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK285579/
Baric gets more specific here: (your link)
“The sequences of SHC014 and the related RsWIV1-CoV show that these CoVs are the closest relatives to the epidemic SARS-CoV strains (Fig. 1a,b); however, there are important differences...SHC014 was about 12 percent different from SARS.”
again, not SARs, but a relative
which created a weaker, not stronger, virus. (also from your link)
“Dr. Stanley Perlman at the University of Iowa... noted the hybrid virus was attenuated — weakened — and said the virus would probably need to adapt more in people before it could spread widely.”
And the research came to a screeching halt:
” they had to stop some of their work because of US government policies. The US has a moratorium on so-called gain-of-function research, which includes some research that enhances the ability of a pathogen such as a virus to infect people or spread among them.”
And why did they have to stop? Because in 2014 the funding stopped. And why did the funding stop? Because the USA killed the funding on pathogenic virus manipulation in 2014. Making any breach illegal:
White House. U.S. Government Gain-of-Function Deliberative Process and Research Funding Pause on Selected Gain-of-Function Research Involving Influenza, MERS, and SARS Viruses. 2014a.
http://www.phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Documents/gain-of-function.pdf
2014, not Sars. No funding for 2015. No illegal research in 2015. Not Chapel Hill in 2015.
It’s not personal. but I will respond harshly to any post that attempts to link the USA in any way shape or form with this or any other SARs or any outbreak of anything we had no control over.
Half the free world and a few not so free were investigating various viruses 10 years ago before we decided that wasn’t a good thing to do. But it’s always America that the propaganda finger is pointed to so other nations can hide. And I’ll be damned if China is going to hide from this one.
Not at the expense of the reputation of my country. The Chapel Hill invented Sars2 that was given/stolen by a researcher in China crap, is pure panda propaganda and I absolutely hate seeing it repeated, and salivated over, on FreeRepublic.
It seems that the Wuhan viro crew that f’ed up and let Covid loose were trained en masse over the years in a North Carolina Public University. Am I correct?
btt
Why do continue to pretend that chapel hill was not a Sars investigatory study and post propaganda that it was a Mers study.
You did it right here on this thread
It is a fact that they worked in conjunction with the wuhan bat lady. At the end of the study they warned about
jumping to humans.. And that is what has happened.
At the time of the study there were plenty of scientists warning about even doing studies like this.
Chapel hill was allowed to continue because of timing.
And btw..the exact warning given by the bat lady in this story is what you saw at the end of chapel hill study...oh yeah..and she was involved in that one too..
Your posts are bizarre on this topic
And one more thing...we stopped allowing this kind of study in the US ..BUT we funded bat lady study in china.
She should be front and center. She isnt.
She is either dead or she will be forced to take the blame like the Dr had to over the Sars incident saying it leaked from a lab
Stop pretending the Chapel Hill study has no relation to the bat lady or that it didnt show what happened could happen
And stop with the CCP propaganda that it was a Mers study
I wouldnt put it exactly that way.
I would more say that chapel hill did a study. They sucessfully jumped a horseshoe bat sars like combo to a mouse with the help of wuhan bat lady..which for some reason the poster on this site is refusing to acknowledge and actively spouting propaganda that it was a mers study.
When they couldnt continue with another study due to US laws it moved to a bioweapons lab in china
The story media are now going with is that it accidentally jumped to a human
This is why this kind of study was disallowed officially in US
Why would a scientist like yourself lie about this study. Notice it does not say Mers adapted backbone on the mouse. It says Sars. I cant figure out why you lie about Mers in relation to this chapel hill study.

Do more research and you will find that these idiot Chinese virus researchers were trained at Chapel Hill NC. Same Chinese dim bulbs who let it loose in Wuhan.
The Chicom leaders then let (probably encouraged) Wuhan people who wanted out to go to Wuhan’s International airport to fly to Europe and America etc. To infect the world.
Bat lady wasnt trained per se at chapel hill. She was already an expert that worked in conjunction with chapel hill. I dont know about the rest of the people involved
-——Therefore, the investigation of bat coronaviruses becomes an urgent issue for the detection of early warning signs, which in turn minimizes the impact of such future outbreaks in China.’——
——’Bat coronaviruses resembling SARS and the new SARS-CoV-2 have been isolated by many groups of legitimate scientists, including the Wuhan lab and plenty of US investigators.-—
The Daily Mail article is the best dissemination of facts I have seen. President Trump is aware of all these facts and has been. He acted.
This piece includes references to American scientists studying the chinese research. If they did not, they would be derelict in their duty to try to prevent a pandemic in America.
Other Chinese virus researcher were trained at a Uni in NC. Only read it once and it was say 8 weeks ago, and it was an NC Prof defending his Chinese virus researcher students.
Who were trained in NC, then went home to China to do their stupid arse sh___t. Or maybe not stupid, but international bio-weapons.
You are aware the Chicom leaders are big on Sun Tzu who is the original writer-expositor on asymmetrical warfare?
