There can be debates about the actual numbers of people dead from Covid, since PCR tests were set at absurdly high cycles, and hospitals were requested to list people who had Covid, but died from other causes, like a road accident, as Covid dead. Nevertheless, like any strong flu, it is likely that the world death toll is in the millions.
Thus, if this virus was created in a lab, and released either accidentally or intentionally, the world needs to know. And that certainly now is the case. “U.S. investigative journalists revealed in early June that three WIV researchers, Ben Hu, Ping Yu, and Yan Zhu, were allegedly the first COVID-19 patients, having fallen ill in the fall of 2019. They were reportedly conducting research on SARS-like viruses and engaging in “gain-of-function” experiments. Gain-of-function, which involves altering the properties of a pathogen in order to study its potential impact on human health, increases the infectiousness of viruses and/or makes them more lethal.
