So much for a vaccine.
That was one busy little lab.
One characteristic of weaponization.
Sounds like the common cold.
In before the pearl clutchers...
Notice that NONE ZERO ZIPPO of china officials have gotten sick...ZILCH!! This virus was intentionally and deliberately released on the globe..its called world dominance!! China wants to be the world’s ONLY POWER HOUSE and dominate the world! WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA china has declared war on us!!
And China has any credibility and nothing to gain by continued lock down?
You know 99.9% of them dont read past the headline. It just has their favorite word and their brains turn right off.
The challenges of a vaccine are not because the virus has mutated into different clades, but because of overall technical issues that researchers developing any coronavirus vaccine have faced.
Influenza vaccines are made using three or four different strains of influenza, but are effective against a number of different clades, as long as they are still fairly close to the original strain.
Might China/ Russia try to buy up American Oil Co......??!!!
I dont know weaponization is the correct term. Gain of Function sure seems to be.

“Sounds like the common cold.”
Corona is the basis for the common cold. Covid-19 is super corona.
As a non medical observer, I note that there never has been a vaccine for the common cold. I doubt there will be a vaccine for this. The only way forward is to accept the risks and live life.
I think an over-reaction was forced on us and as people start to realize that we trashed the economy over nothing, the news now has to come out that we just had "one of the milder strains".
In the era of Fake News, I believe nothing.
But if this is a GoF virus could it be that it attenuates faster than a normal virus? Maybe that would explain why there are so many less lethal mutations so quickly. I doubt that would happen with a virus like measles but Coronavirus are known wimps.
NO cases in Shanghai nor Beijing!
Virus mutation is common and inevitable. Even samples taken from a single patient can show genetic variability. Clinically, it does not have as much significance as it does epidemiologically. By tracing the various clades, the exact spread pattern of a virus can be traced.
For anyone interested in looking at the spread of various clades, I suggest this website: Genomic epidemiology of novel coronavirus - Global subsampling To nerds like myself, the phylogeny of the virus is fascinating.
this makes me think that it was manufactured at the lab and that sevral difrent strains got loose into the population of Wuhan. this makes the case for the research animals not being destroyed but instead being sold as meat in the market by someone working at the lab. my bet is that china is telling the truth about there being over 30 difrent strains of the same virus. no up point to telling a lie for the country on this and I think they realize that the world is pissed at them over the lies deception and there weaponizing the crises.
Dr Brix is now on the s$%^ list of many Freepers.
Yesterday several times she used the term “evolutionary biologists”. She is therefore never to be believed because she thinks evolution exists.
