coronavirus found to contain unique “gain-of-function” property “for efficient spreading

This isn’t great...
I don’t know whether the source is legit.

A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Antiviral Research (Vol. 16, April 2020) is entitled, “The spike glycoprotein of the new coronavirus 2019-nCoV contains a furin-like cleavage site absent in CoV of the same clade.”
It reveals that the CoVid-19 coronavirus contains unique features that allow it to function as a more efficient weapon system for human-to-human transmission, which helps explain why the virus has been impossible to contain (even under “quarantine” conditions, which have universally failed in China, Japan, Korea and elsewhere). As the science authors of the paper explain in the full text, “This furin-like cleavage site… may provide a gain-of-function to the 2019-nCoV for efficient spreading in the human population.” (Emphasis added)

Further, the science paper finds that there is no known viral ancestry to the CoVid-19 coronavirus, meaning it did not evolve from nature.

I was told early on that this thing was no big deal...

So it's a bio-weapon.
Got it.
Got it.

Some of us have been trying to tell y'all this since December.

frick those nasty Chinese mother frickers. I was in Chinatown recently and reminded how fricked up those people there are.

Unless you are Thanos, why develop a bio weapon that is uncontrollable?

Natural News is a science-based natural health advocacy organization led by activist-turned-scientist Mike Adams, the Health Ranger. The key mission of Natural News is to empower consumers with factual information about the synthetic chemicals, heavy metals, hormone disruptors and other chemicals found in foods, medicines, personal care products, children's toys and other items. Natural News covers holistic health, nutritional therapies, consciousness and spirituality, permaculture , organics, animal rights, environmental health, food and superfoods , and performance nutrition. The site strongly criticizes drugs-and-surgery medicine, vaccines, corporate corruption, animal testing, the use of humans for medical experiments, the chemical contamination of foods, heavy metals in consumer products, factory farming and government corruption. Natural News also warns its readers about science gone bad and frequently cites examples of science resulting in catastrophies that it calls "crimes" against humanity. Examples of such subjects cited by Natural News include: Agent Orange Thalidomide Nuclear weapons GMOs and "genetic pollution" Aspartame and chemical sweeteners Chemotherapy The presence of hidden cancer viruses in polio vaccines The continued use of mercury in vaccines and dental amalgams The long history of pharmaceutical experiments on human beings, including the Tuskegee syphilis experiments conducted on African Americans in the USA.
From their about us section.
With that said, you should read the original journal and take form your opinions from that

All in route as an active virus to the Tulane Primate Center in Covington near you ..

Sen. Tom Cotton Stands by Startling Theory
I think we are not being cautious enough here. Interesting stuff from Sen. Cotton here.
There is a lot of media telling everyone not to worry about this, but I feel there is a lot of misinformation and possibly outright propaganda originating from China. No one ever talks about the mortality rates on this thing, just how it is spreading. That is important and should be watched very carefully.

That's what happens when things are made in a lab. They are designed to be efficient.

I would question the source and some of their conclusions, but the journal itself is legit - it is part of the ElSevier/ScienceDirect family.
I am looking at the article itself and it it directly states:

Source not legit. Y'all some dumb Mofos if you believe in this shite... However, if you do believe it I have some lizard oil I'll sell you fro 1000 bucks a bottle. Works way better than snake oil.

Sounds engineered

it does seem like a major coincidence that the origin of the virus (Wuhan) is the location of their only P4( highest level security) lab in China that publicly studied this type of flu virus and also publicly were reprimanded for contamination risks. Not sure what the odds of a virus mutating and jumping to humans at that particular city would be but Im sure it is pretty low.

Is a scam site that also pushes anti-GMO bs, chemtrails, and other crazy stuff. They link a real scientific journal but the research does not appear to imply bioengineering. In an effort to share research in near real time lots of articles are being posted open source and pre-publication. This is releasing a lot of stuff for public consumption that hasn't completed peer review. I would say take anything referencing scientific journal articles with a grain of salt unless you are familiar with the topic, author or you trust the person claiming that the article proves something.
