The same Chinese facility that is understood to have leaked the global COVID-19 virus may have also leaked a “highly evolved” strain of polio, according to a new report obtained by Daily Mail.
According to a recent study, the strain that infected a 4-year-old boy in the Anhui province of China is “99%” identical to a variety stored at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, 200 miles away. The child became infected in the midst of the province of Anhui’s larger virus outbreak.
Molecular biologist Richard Ebright, who was not involved with the research, maintains that “the findings underscore the shocking unsafe state of global virology research.”

This one came from someone eating a beaver in a nearby wet market. Beware of Beaver Fever.
Fauci at work
Nuke Wuhan.
Remember “highly evolved” and “gain of function” are the politically correct terms for biological warfare.
Why would there be any polio virus kept anywhere?
.... Hmmmmm .... In other news .... I heard today that there is a Polio outbreak in Gaza .... Related???
.
Financed by our tax dollars by people who want us dead.
i believe the original small pox virus is kept in labs for testing, same for most any of the really deadly virus.
So no more Buccees?
For Polio, gain of function will be “immune to current inoculation”.
Yeah, "highly evolved" means "genetically modified".
It's not at "testing facility" as per the thread title, it's a "bio-weapon lab".
I wonder if the hundreds of chinese crossing the border have been infected and sent over?
Oh, noes! \o/
Probably so, that is the purpose of “Gain Of Function”.
I don’t think the Chicoms have gotten the idea of Level 4 containment quite right.
Yeah, why the hell does the world put up with these perverts doing this chit?
That lab should be leveled and every living thing in it should be dispatched.
What’s hard to see in that.
Exactly, and 90% of the genome of the virus matching the genome of the polio virus they were working on in the wuhan lab is no coincidence.
Not related. The strain in Gaza was vaccine-derived cVDPV2.
The China case was WIV14, a so-called “wild type” (but not a naturally occurring one) believed to have probably evolved from an old 1950s sample (presumably Saukett A) once used for vaccine production and stored at the Wuhan lab:
“The Pasteur researchers suspect that WIV14 polio, so named by the Wuhan scientists who first catalogued the strain, likely evolved from a well-preserved, 1950s strain of the virus used — almost exclusively — in vaccine production and laboratory settings.”
and
“The Pasteur Institute’s researchers compared DNA from the whole genome of the WIV14 polio strain against the ‘Saukett A’ strain used to make many polio vaccines.
They found only 70 nucleotides (nt) of difference between the two strains — across genomes containing over seven thousand of the fundamental DNA building blocks.”
As of August 2024, there have been 14 cases of wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) reported globally, with five cases in Afghanistan and seven in Pakistan. There have also been 72 cases of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV), with 68 cases of cVDPV2 and four cases of cVDPV1.
Here are some other recent developments related to polio:
Gaza
In June 2024, cVDPV2 was detected in wastewater samples from central Gaza. This led to a polio campaign in the Gaza Strip, where four cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) were reported. One of the cases was confirmed as polio, while two tested negative.
Afghanistan
In July 2024, three more cases of WPV1 were reported in Kandahar, bringing the total number of cases in the country to nine for the year.
Pakistan
In 2024, there have been two new cases of WPV1 in Balochistan province, bringing the total number of environmental detections to 34.
Southern Africa
In May 2024, an outbreak response and enhanced surveillance halted the transmission of wild poliovirus in Southern Africa.

Note: I took a special interest in polio back in the early 1990s when I was living and working in a country where it was still running rampant. There was no treatment there at all, no leg braces, no nothing. It was heartbreaking to see those kids trying to get around with their deformed limbs — the worst cases scuttling like spiders, face up, on all fours, the less-afflicted hobbling about but upright. I fought tooth and nail to get vaccines for my area.
There were also lots of children with cleft palate, severely crossed eyes, etc., things we can fix now and no longer see here. It makes you think how far we have come in only a few generations thanks to modern medicine and how grateful we should be.
So... let’s see here. A boy has been diagnosed with a strain of polio that is circulating in China, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which studies viruses that endanger the Chinese people, happens to have a sample of this same (or a highly similar) strain of polio.
If the fact that a virology institute happens to be studying a virus that makes people in the area sick is proof positive that that institute released the virus, then no virology institute in the world is innocent.
West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus are spreading in the US. These viruses have been studied for decades at the US Army Institute of Infectious Disease (USAMRIID) along with other Army laboratories. Therefore, the Army intentionally released these viruses.
Or (the real explanation)—these virology labs are studying these viruses in order to develop effective countermeasures for them in case there is an outbreak.
Without research into the biology of these viruses, we are no more equipped to fight them than shamans waving bells and branches.
