Unraveling the Claims of a 100% Lethal Coronavirus: Examining China's Research
Unraveling the Claims of a 100% Lethal Coronavirus: Examining China's Research Recent headlines suggesting China's development of a COVID-19 mutant virus with a 100% lethality rate have stirred global concerns. A research report reveals that laboratory mice engineered with human-like genetic characteristics succumbed to the mutant virus, GX_P2V, within eight days of infection. The study, conducted by researchers from Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing PLA General Hospital, and Nanjing University School of Medicine, raises questions about the potential implications for humans. Study Details: The mutant virus, GX_P2V, originated from a modification of a 2017 Malaysian pangolin coronavirus. Four genetically modified laboratory mice displayed a 100% mortality rate within eight days, exhibiting symptoms such as rapid weight loss, hunched posture, slow movement, and, notably, white eyes before death. Understanding the Significance: While this study reports a mortal...
