Zhang Shuye, principal investigator with the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Centre at Fudan University, said the findings of the Guangzhou study were “not entirely a surprise”, and unrelated viruses could take on similar traits as they came under similar selective pressure.

Suppression of MHC molecules had also happened in other viruses such as some herpes viruses, said Zhang, who was not involved in the study.

He noted that the new coronavirus was not hijacking T cells and turning them into a means to reproduce, as HIV did, adding that the new virus was mutating at a much slower pace and the death rate was “much, much lower than for Aids”.

He said the body’s immune system had various ways to fight back. “What we need to bear in mind through this pandemic is that, though the virus may have some traits that are new or unexpected, the majority of patients recover,” Zhang said. “This should give us some confidence.”

“The novel coronavirus uses the same strategy to evade attack from the human immune system as HIV”

well, the coronavirus must be doing a terrible job with that “strategy”, because most people recover from coronavirus(most actually develop antibodies without even knowing they’ve contracted the virus),whereas essentially no one ever recovers from HIV, but are simply kept alive by taking a daily panoply of antivirals their entire lives ...

Hmmm. Wasn’t it a French investigator that found traces of the HIV inserted into a corona virus and hence was manufactured???

I read/heard this over a month ago... this gives credence that the designer COVID of 2019, ‘gained a function’.

China has scientists of great knowlege as does the rest of the world and in particular the USA and Western Europe.

Their basic research is to be trusted unless it has political implications as does this Covid Pandemic. On this they are simply damn liars.

The few researchers in China that spoke the truth have been “disappeared.” I hope they are alive but doubt it. If they are alive, in the future they can expose the lies. I think they are dead. It will be as if they never existed.

This is not so surprising when you consider very informed people are saying that a segment of RNA from the AIDS virus seems to be grafted into the Wuhan Corona Virus

Coronavirus uses same strategy as HIV to dodge immune response


Just as it was designed to do.

Chinese junk science designed to keep the fear going. If this bit of junk science were really true, people couldn’t recover.
