A study demonstrated how the tool can be programmed to cut off COVID-19 virus transmission from infected cells to non-infected cells in a human body.
A team of researchers in Australia were able to prevent spread of coronavirus in human cells using the CRISPR technology in a lab experiment. With the success documented, the researchers are now aiming to develop the treatment into an oral drug that could stop transmission in people.
Sharon Lewin, lead author of the research told AFP, “This approach — test and treat — would only be feasible if we have a cheap, oral, and non-toxic antiviral. That’s what we hope to achieve one day with this gene scissors approach.”
What is CRISPR and how it acts on COVID-19?

CRISPR is a gene editing tool. It evolved in bacteria as an antivirus mechanism. The tool is responsible for searching and destroying viral genes. This means it can effectively recognize and destroy infected cells, in the case of COVID-19.
The study was published in the Nature journal under the title "Reprogrammed CRISPR-Cas13b suppresses SARS-CoV-2 replication and circumvents its mutational escape through mismatch tolerance." As per the paper, the Australian researchers have demonstrated how CRISPR can be programmed to bind itself to specific parts of the COVID-19 genome and then degrade the virus cells, in effect cutting off its transmission from infected cells to non-infected cells in a human body.
“Once the virus is recognized, the CRISPR enzyme is activated and chops up the virus,” continued lead author Lewin, “We targeted several parts of the virus — parts that are very stable and don’t change and parts that are highly changeable — and all worked very well in chopping up the virus.”
The treatment has reportedly also found to have been effective on new variants of concern including the Alpha variant which emerged in the UK.
However, widespread availability of such a drug could take years. But with the coronavirus rapidly mutation and showing signs of continuing to disrupt the world for years to come, the research team believes the CRISPR drug creation is a project worth pursuing. Moreover, the technology could also prove effective for other viral infections apart from COVID-19.
As per Mohamed Fareh, co-author of the study, “Unlike conventional antiviral drugs, the power of this tool lies in its design-flexibility and adaptability, which make it a suitable drug against a multitude of pathogenic viruses, including influenza, Ebola, and possibly HIV.”
While vaccines have proven effective in curbing the spread and severity of COVID-19 infections, there aren’t enough treatments to cure a patient. Monoclonal antibody treatment ranks high up but its administration is restricted to intravenous and thus they are only used in hospitalization cases. Furthermore, the treatment may also become less effective as new variants emerge.
An oral drug which can be given to a patient as soon as they are diagnosed COVID-19 positive is what would be needed to contain severe cases. As per the researchers in Australia, the CRISPR treatment has the potential to be available in such a form.
I personally, don’t want the Pentagon’s black ops technology (DARPA) mainstreamed. Nightmare technologies like mind control (memory implants, removals etc.) originate from DARPA.
Those touting the latest CRISPR OFF technology compare it favorably to Moderna and Pfizer Coronavirus vaccine (genetic engineering). They claim it will undergo rigorous testing unlike those Covid ‘vaccines’.
They note Moderna’s website says your DNA is like a harddrive, and their Moderna Covid Vaccine is like a software program.
Literally technology brought to us by the Pentagon’s DARPA, the hub of dystopian technology. “Capable of controlling a gene by laser like precision!” The genetic engineering working to splice different species together...*sigh*
Those actually using the technology for cattle breeding (genetics) say it’s not like a laser, it’s more like a chain saw. They claim greater precision than they actually achieve, just as they did with the last version of CRISPR. This is Mengele type genetic modification touted as NEW! Improved! Electroceuticals posted as ‘helping’ technology - geo technology to track and modify everything we do. Bill Gates dreams come true. :/

keep messing around with things - and they will “fix” one thing only to create more problem some how or where else.
bump to view later
Or all cells in the body. Who knows? Maybe. What's the difference?
Researchers have complained they cannot obtain an isolated sample of the Covid 19 virus. If that is true, how is it these Australians can focus on destroying it?
I do not believe ANY of this talk about miracle cures anymore.
Whew. As long as it in costs a lot of money. For a minute I thought we were talking hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin.
Best to take precautions and sleep over a drain then.
