STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- According to a Hong Kong whistleblower scientist who has fled to the U.S., the Chinese government and World Health Organization representatives in Hong Kong covered up the Wuhan outbreak, allowing it to spread unchecked around the world
- Researchers have identified inserted sections in the spike surface that allow SARS-CoV-2 to bind to human cells. They also warn that current efforts to develop a COVID-19 vaccine are likely to fail simply because the etiology of the virus has been misunderstood
- Open source studies describe the creation of new chimeraviruses that have SARS-coronavirus as a base. For example, researchers have exchanged properties between bat coronaviruses and human SARS viruses. So, there can be no doubt that the technology and know-how exists
- A new hypothesis is that a virus very similar to SARS-CoV-2 infected miners in 2012, evolving into SARS-CoV-2 inside the miners, who remained ill for up to four months. And, that medical samples taken from the miners ended up escaping from the Wuhan Institute of Virology
- If SARS-CoV-2 is a manipulated, manmade virus, it is proof positive that gain-of-function research poses tremendous risks to humanity and that those risks far exceed any potential gain
