New virus poses 'an existential threat to life as we know it on this planet' With an 80% death rate, 'It needs to be stopped'

The Biden administration's apparent unwillingness to conduct a serious official investigation of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 that holds China accountable for its actions and lack of cooperation could result in a pandemic much more lethal that the current one, warns a leading researcher.

Dr. Steven Quay, whose research became part of a State Department probe of the origin of COVID-19 under President Trump, told Fox News' Martha MacCallum on Friday that "all of the evidence points toward the lab theory."

"There's no evidence that supports a natural origin at this point," he said. "So I think we're done, at this point, with the investigation."

But it's more vital than ever to stop the dangerous "gain-of-function" research going on at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, he said.

Raw data from patient specimens posted in the National Institutes of Health's gene bank showed researchers at the Wuhan lab in December 2019 were manipulating genes from the highly lethal Nipah virus, Quay said.

The Nipah virus, which causes severe inflammation of the brain or encephalitis, has a death rate of about 80%, Quay warned.

"If you didn't like the pandemic that was just 1% lethal, this thing they were working on in December 2019 has an 80% lethality," he told MacCallum. "It needs to be stopped."

Quay told "Fox Business Tonight" on Thursday that virus research at the Wuhan lab poses "an existential threat to life as we know it on this planet."

How much money did Dr. Fallacy direct through his third parties to fund this?

But Dr. Fraudxci said this wasn't happening. Surely CNN and MSDNC will investigate this.

Bank on it, Biden has been napping all weekend and doesn't even know where he is.

If was concocted in a chicom lab. It was released intentionally, or unintentionally from there. Brandon won’t hold the chicoms to their responsibility on this because they helped him get into the oval office.

China needs nuked. And yes, I know they have nukes too. But if I have to go, I’d rather just evaporate than linger in a hospital bed.

How many wet markets are there in China? And, the virus originates near the Wuhan lab? Why would any reasoning person think the virus did not originate in the lab?

The burden of proof should have been from day one on China to share their data, and transparently show they did not have a lab leak/intentional release.

IMHO this is the biggest outrage of the Biden regime. There has been no pushback whatsoever against China for causing a deadly world pandemic. The CCP has face ZERO consequences for their criminal actions. What’s more, there is no interest whatsoever in taking steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again. As bad as Covid-19 is, the next time could be worse. It could be FAR worse.

The US was behind this virus and funding it’s research alongside China in Wuhan.

This is why we will never know what really happened

The Bidet is napping because they have tested the brain deadening virus on him.

The man who provided the initial research and funding is still on our TVs telling us how to deal with the virus he helped create.

Fauci belongs in prison, not on TV.

F.O.F. Fear Of Fauxchee? The elites will make sure they are protected prior to having this one distributed. Just need something to get rid if the other 15%. Probably counting in famine and turmoil for that. πŸ˜• Any way, it’s snowing at our place now with wind chill around 20deg so we have other worrries. 😊

The way things are going in the land of the reds, we all might get your wish sooner than we all think.

They’ll start a war to take the peoples minds off of the problems they are having across the whole of that country.

They are in economic collapse due to weather and mindless tyrannical problems.
