Genetics “Proves” The Lab Hypothesis? By Brian Simpson
Here is the latest argument, from yesterday, where genetic analyses indicate that SASR CoV-2, Covid-19, was the product of a lab creation. This virus has a genetic structure not seen in nature in other coronaviruses, and has a genetic code that is used by mad scientists in gain-of function research. It seems that everyday something more, and new, is being published, and too much mainstream material is out there now to close this down very easily. Hopefully, guilty heads will roll, so to speak.
“Two U.S. experts have penned a damning essay saying the genome sequencing of COVID-19 strongly suggests that the virus was manufactured inside a Chinese laboratory.
Dr. Stephen Quay and Richard Muller, a physics professor at the University of California Berkeley, made the claim in The Wall Street Journal on Sunday, amid growing speculation that the coronavirus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
'The most compelling reason to favor the lab leak hypothesis is firmly based in science,' the experts wrote, stating that 'COVID-19 has a genetic footprint that has never been observed in a natural coronavirus.'
Quay and Muller assert that the Wuhan lab was known for conducting 'gain-of-function' research where scientists would 'intentionally supercharge viruses to increase lethality'.
COVID-19 has the genome sequencing 'CGG-CGG' - one of 36 sequencing patterns. That combination is commonly used by scientists in gain-of-function research, but is otherwise considered extremely 'rare'.
The experts assert that no naturally occurring coronavirus - such as SARS or MERS - has ever had a CGG-CGG combination.
'The CGG-CGG combination has never been found naturally. That means the common method of viruses picking up new skills, called recombination, cannot operate here,' they wrote.
'A virus simply cannot pick up a sequence from another virus if that sequence isn't present in any other virus.'
The essay comes after an explosive study last week claimed that Chinese scientists created COVID-19 in the Wuhan lab, then tried to cover their tracks by reverse-engineering versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats.
The paper's authors, British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr Birger Sørensen, wrote that they have had 'prima facie evidence of retro-engineering in China' for a year — but were ignored by academics and major journals.”
