...or just another AMAZING statistically improbable COINCIDENCE?
Bruce Golding, "Chinese military helped create ‘humanized’ mice to test viruses: report"
Chinese military researchers were part of a project that created mice with “humanized” lungs — apparently to test the infectiousness of various viruses, according to a blockbuster report Thursday.
The bio-engineered rodents were developed using gene-editing technology known as CRISPR and are mentioned in an April 2020 study that US government virologists flagged for National Security Council officials investigating the origin of the coronavirus, Vanity Fair said.
The study’s 23 co-authors include 11 who work for the Chinese army’s medical research institute, the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, and their project involved determining the mice’s susceptibility to the virus that causes COVID-19.
But when the NSC investigators worked backward to establish a timeline for the study, they realized that the critters were created sometime during summer 2019 — before the coronavirus pandemic exploded, according to Vanity Fair.
That discovery reportedly led NSC officials to suspect that the Chinese military was using the mice to test whether various viruses could infect humans — and that they’d uncovered evidence supporting the theory that the pandemic was the result of a lab leak.
But when they reached out to other agencies with the information, “We were dismissed,” Anthony Ruggiero, the NSC’s senior director for counterproliferation and biodefense, told Vanity Fair.
“The response was very negative,” he added.
Meanwhile, the lead coronavirus researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology — Shi Zhengli, also known as “Bat Woman” for her work with the flying mammals — appears to have tested two novel but undisclosed coronaviruses on humanized mice to gauge their effectiveness, Vanity Fair said.
The magazine cited as evidence comments Shi made to a scientific journal, as well as information contained in a Chinese government database.
Shi has adamantly denied that the coronavirus leaked from a WIV lab or that the facility conducts military research.
But in January, a fact sheet released by the US State Department disclosed that researchers at the WIV had collaborated on secret projects, “including laboratory animal experiments,” since at least 2017.
China has denounced the State Department’s fact sheet as “full of fallacies” and the “last madness” of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who it called “Mr. Lies.”
The document was issued five days before President Biden was inaugurated and hasn’t been disavowed by his administration.
Last week, Biden also ordered a 90-day probe by the US intelligence community into the origins of the coronavirus, with a spokeswoman saying that nothing has been “ruled out” — including the possibility it was deliberately released.
Neither Shi nor the director of the WIV responded to repeated requests for comment, including a list of detailed questions, Vanity Fair said.

Omicron's infectivity plus Delta's severity and lethality
Let's jab our way to extinction.
Sequencing the genomes of different Covid-19 variants on the same equipment / in the same lab can cause viral recombination (i.e. create new variants).
(Follow the logic of those attacking the Cypriot discovery)
Everyone that has been jabbed is a variant factory.
We need to stop assisting Covid in the mutation process...
:P
My point was the critics of the Cypriot finding are telling them the "Deltacron" variant they discovered came about via a process that experts have been claiming from the start is impossible. That two variants can't recombine their respective DNAs...
...because that would imply that asymptomatic carriers are variant breeders
Isn't every potential host a possible "variant breeder"? Can't there simply be "transcription" errors?
:P
Depends on how long the virus can live, multiply, and mutate in the medium it is in. Asymptomatic carriers are basically mobile sewage treatment plants. Aerosolizing death 24/7.
It would also depend upon the viral load of an asymptomatic carrier.
Eventually they'll acquire the variant that recombines with the variant they are carrying to make a new variant that kills instantly when it comes in contact with an mRNA vaccine
...if ONLY!
Hospitals and long-term care facilities are so short staffed that many are compelling Covid-positive doctors and nurses to return to work, arguing that bringing back asymptomatic or even symptomatic staff is the only way they can keep their doors open amid a spike in hospitalizations.
The practice, allowed by the most recent CDC guidance, underscores the dire situation in which many facilities find themselves as more than 120,000 people nationwide are now hospitalized with the virus — almost three times the total from Thanksgiving when Omicron was first detected.
Minus fantasies about the mass death of his "enemies". aka rational people who believe in facts and science.
You must be so happy.
Omicron is granting herd immunity to the nation. Praises ARE in order!
Omicron is making everyone susceptible to Upsilon and Sigma.
...as the Chinese military have already weaponized Upsilon and Sigma and are storing them in a freezer in Wuhan until needed.
In Cyprus, you mean. ;)
They're not going to release them in Wuhan anymore...
If you play Plague Inc. it's best to start in Saudi Arabia so you screw East Africa and Central Asia at the same time.
You're going to stop lying about vaccinations causing mutations?
...Delta had to come from somewhere.
Viral recombinants. Covid is a jigsaw puzzle. All the pieces haven't come together yet.
It isn't.
"Everyone that has been jabbed is a variant factory".
They aren't.
No, they're "protected", as in the Left's new definition of "protected", that really means "vulnerable"....
The Right's new definition of "protected" is 100 percent invulnerability. Not just to the disease the vaccine in question is supposed to protect from, but from death (i.e. vaccines should grant immortality or they're useless or responsible for deaths themselves).
...that still sounds like its' within the original definition...
Not in regards to vaccines.
The new or the old definition? lol!
The real definition, not your redefinition.
