Coronavirus may have been created in a Wuhan lab ‘genetic engineering’ experiment

Leading immunologists and geneticists have told Sky News that there are two unusual things about COVID-19 that open the door to it being man-made rather than a naturally-occurring virus.

Israeli geneticist, Dr Ronen Shemesh, who is working on a treatment for COVID-19, said in his opinion the virus was more likely created in a laboratory than evolved in nature.

“There are many reasons to believe that the COVID-19 generating SARS-CoV-2 was generated in a lab. Most probably by methods of genetic engineering,” he told Sky News.

“I believe that this is the only way an insertion like the furin protease cleavage site could have been introduced directly at the right place and become effective.”

“I believe that the most important issue about the differences between all coronavirus types is the insertion of a furin protease cleavage site at the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2,” he said.

“Such an insertion is very rare in evolution, the addition of such four amino acids alone in the course of only 20 years is very unlikely.”

“What makes it even more suspicious is that fact that this insertion not only occurred on the right place and in the right time, but also turned the cleavage site from an serine protease cleavage site to a furin cleavage site,” he said.

“If I was trying to engineer a virus strain with a higher affinity and infective potential to humans, I would do exactly that: I would add a furin cleavage site directly at the original less effective and more cell specific cleavage site.”

Flinders University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky says COVID-19 is “exquisitely adapted to infect humans”.

And now, “experts” will have to post an update saying (again), saying that “there is no evidence” of this.

By a bat.

There is no doubt in my mind that Covid-19 was man-made in a lab.

the scientist who discovered and investigated the aids virus said the same thing afterseeing how this worked and what’s all in it

Fauci is pacing the floor. How can I be wrong again?? And I financed the lab.

Maybe I should retire and take my big, big fat pension and go to the Bahamas with the rest of the cash.

But wait....the people need me. I am, after all, "the end all" despite what that ignorant Senator said.

What to do?

[Sacajaweau]

I now believe so, too. Too perfect....too selective....too easy to insert in a population.

[yuleeyahoo]

White supremacists and Russians are to blame.

Fauxi quoted the mutations were natural.

The AIDS virus was already killing Americans in 1980. I am not certain that the computers for genetic engineering were in existence that far back. Supposedly the HIV human killing virus came into existence in 1952. Increased transportation roads in Africa allowed the HIV to leave a remote area and travel to the larger cities.

“furin cleavage site”

I believe governments across the world, including the U.S., believed the virus was engineered but didn’t know how deadly it was and thus erred on the side of what’s become an over-reaction. China must be held accountable as well as the U.S. scientists and organizations that funded/supported the research in Wuhan. NIH, Fauci can you hear me?

[rightwingcrazy]

Apropos of nothing, “fauci” is the Italian word for “jaws” or “mouth”, and “shemesh” is the Hebrew word for “Sun” or “daylight”.

[silverleaf]

Yeah, that quote right there is enough to discredit Fauci as a serious source of info. It’s as if he was reciting CCP propaganda.

And he wonders why Trump doesnt call him anymore...

[null and void]

Based on China's reaction to finding it outside their lab, I never doubted for an instant that it was deliberately engineered, nor who did the engineering.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

[Black Agnes]

Duh.

Now we need to know why, if it’s ‘just the flu’, is china still locking down entire million+ cities because of it...

[Chgogal]

Act of war! China declared war o the world.

[null and void]

Indeed.

[null and void]

Act of war! China declared war on the world.

No one wants a shootin' war involving every nuclear power on Earth!

And THAT my dear, is why no government will say that out loud.
