Lab-Made Coronavirus Triggers Debate

From 2015.  :news:  Basically we stopped doing it here so we gave money to an organization who paid China to do it.   The place that most pandemic driving virus' already come from and in labs we had no control over saftey protocol's.   Not only that in a country that has historically been proven to be far from trustworthy.   Fauci is on record saying he thought it was worth the risk.  Jon Stewart was right.

Ralph Baric, an infectious-disease researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, last week (November 9) published a study on his team’s efforts to engineer a virus with the surface protein of the SHC014 coronavirus, found in horseshoe bats in China, and the backbone of one that causes human-like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in mice. The hybrid virus could infect human airway cells and caused disease in mice, according to the team’s results, which were published in Nature Medicine.

The results demonstrate the ability of the SHC014 surface protein to bind and infect human cells, validating concerns that this virus—or other coronaviruses found in bat species—may be capable of making the leap to people without first evolving in an intermediate host, Nature reported. They also reignite a debate about whether that information justifies the risk of such work, known as gain-of-function research. “If the [new] virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory,” Simon Wain-Hobson, a virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, told Nature.

 

In October 2013, the US government put a stop to all federal funding for gain-of-function studies, with particular concern rising about influenza, SARS, and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). “NIH [National Institutes of Health] has funded such studies because they help define the fundamental nature of human-pathogen interactions, enable the assessment of the pandemic potential of emerging infectious agents, and inform public health and preparedness efforts,” NIH Director Francis Collins said in a statement at the time. “These studies, however, also entail biosafety and biosecurity risks, which need to be understood better.”

Baric’s study on the SHC014-chimeric coronavirus began before the moratorium was announced, and the NIH allowed it to proceed during a review process, which eventually led to the conclusion that the work did not fall under the new restrictions, Baric told Nature. But some researchers, like Wain-Hobson, disagree with that decision.

 

The debate comes down to how informative the results are. “The only impact of this work is the creation, in a lab, of a new, non-natural risk,” Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist and biodefence expert at Rutgers University, told Nature.

But Baric and others argued the study’s importance. “[The results] move this virus from a candidate emerging pathogen to a clear and present danger,” Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance, which samples viruses from animals and people in emerging-diseases hotspots across the globe, told Nature

This is the key to me…they are creating a new non natural pathogen and judging by what the world had been dealing with it’s not worth the risk IMO.

Not only was it not worth the risk, the people who signed off on this should be held accountable.  They won’t be.

Like Jon Stewart said

"I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science. Science has, in many ways, helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science,”

This is unacceptable considering the estimated death toll worldwide 4.6 million.   Keep in mind no way China's death total is less than 6,000.  This also isn't accounting for the economic impact and the deaths associated with it.

Somewhere down the line we will likely hear...."yes it was released from the lab but it was thru those studies we created a vaccine so quickly."  :wall:

If 4+ million dead are acceptable risk that tells us everything we need to know about govt and the medical community.   The govt we knew about the medical community saying this is telling.   What number is not acceptable?   10, 15, 20 million?

I told you all, this was LAB CREATED VIRAL DEATH, released by CHINA INTENTIONALLY. 

I said this a year and a half ago.

Admin on FS.com are very smart people, look at my sig-line.  Did you look at it? Did you see what it says?

It's OFFICIAL. Admin did that. Did you see it? 

Look at my fukkin sig-line!!!! LOOK AT IT!!!
