“Our government has allowed everything else to be outsourced to China so it’s not that surprising that they also outsourced research that, in the future, could be used to kill or incapacitate us. “
China is where SARS-1 and Covid originate. Kind of hard for us to do field research here when the Horseshoe Bats are only found in Yunnan.
The Yunnan bats have a virus that’s close to SARS-1 but it’s thought to have gone from Horseshoe Bats to civet cats and then jumped to humans. Civet cats have been found carrying the SARS-1 virus. Civet cats were sold for food in the wet markets.
Covid is actually a SARS-2 virus. Again it is similar to the Horseshoe Bat coronavirus but it’s missing components that are found in a pangolin coronavirus. The current theory is that the bat virus crossed with the pangolin virus before infecting humans. Pangolins are another wild animal sold in the wet markets.
Makes sense.
So was the US funding SARS-1 in the Wuhan Lab in China also?
