Wuhan Lab (Prof. Zhengli Shi and Xingyi Ge) did the genetic engineering for Ralph Baric at UNC

Recently, Prof. Zhengli Shi and Xingyi Ge from WIV, in cooperation with researchers from University of North Carolina, Harvard Medical School, Bellinzona Institute of Microbiology and etc, examine the disease potential of a SARS-like virus, SHC014-CoV, which is currently circulating in Chinese horseshoe bat populations.

Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system, the scientists generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV. Evaluation of available SARS-based immune-therapeutic and prophylactic modalities revealed poor efficacy; both monoclonal antibody and vaccine approaches failed to neutralize and protect from infection with CoVs using the novel spike protein.

On the basis of these findings, they synthetically re-derived an infectious full-length SHC014 recombinant virus and demonstrate robust viral replication both in vitro and in vivo. The work suggests a potential risk of SARS-CoV re-emergence from viruses currently circulating in bat populations.

Here’s Baric’s paper showing their names:

HOW do you do this, when you're working with dimensions on the scale of nanometers?

This is shorter than the wavelength of light.

Coronavirus diameter: 120 nm.

Visable light 400 (blue) to 700 (red) nanometers.

What this means, is, you're in electron microscopy territory, NOT microscopes ...

China is a criminal element within the global community and should be treated as such.

Possible patient zero was a lab assistant at the Wuhan Institute of Virology:

“In 2015 a Team of Scientists from the Wuhan Virology Lab Engineered a Hybrid Virus, Combining a Bat Corona Virus and a SARS Virus Adapted to Grow in Mice & Mimic Human Disease”

To “unite” the world under Queen Hillary, just as good as a weapon against Trump?

If so, wouldn’t there be a “vaccine”, and they’d pick a few lovable anti-American high profilers like Forest Gump, to “recover” from the virus?
