re: Boston University creates a new Covid strain with an 80% kill rate

The omicron version killed no mice.

The chimera version killed 80% of mice.

The original Wuhan strain in this experiment killed 100% of mice

But the Omicron is a lot more transmissable than original Wuhan.

So if they can basically mutuate the Omicron to an 80 percent kill rate... then they are going to have something that kills 80 percent of a much larger population, as opposed to original Wuhan, which killed 100 percent of a much smaller population.

If you read the pre-print of the paper (not peer reviewed yet), instead of the pants-wetting inducing Daily Mail article with the scary headline, the intention of the experiment was to determine how the virus breaks through vaccine immunity by these spike protein mutations.

I don’t give a baker’s frick why they’re doing it. They ruined the world with it last time and used this exact same justification for doing it. Are you aware of what Gain of Function is? All of those scientists can go frick themselves.

If you want to see the potential ramifications and arrogance of these scientists rewatch the lunch scene from Jurassic Park and then multiply that by a million. If what that article says is true and the virus manages to escape the lab, then that’s the end of civilization as we know it. The 20% that survive would largely starve to death taking humanity from 8 billion to around to around say 300 million.

GOF is very illegal. We were funding it in China bc it’s illegal here. This is so messed up

"Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door"

That’s helpful.

Let’s make a virus mutate to the point that it’s garunteed to kill everyone

The researchers... But how do we know if a bullet-proof vest works unless we put one on and shoot ourselves with a bullet?

They are going to keep fricking around until...

We all find out

Does anyone still doubt that Covid was engineered in a lab

Oh it was absolutely created in a lab

and released intentionally

Not willing to go here without more evidence. An "accident" is still very possible scenerio. Or, it was just stolen and released given lax Chinese security standards.

An 80% purge doesn't sound all that bad honestly

13% would be sufficient
