This honestly confirms some of my worst fears. Covid is a mostly harmless virus with a fatality rate of 1%, which made the hysteria surrounding it ludicrous. But a genetically engineered strain with a fatality rate of 80% would be an entirely different scenario. It would lead to a plague many times worse than the black death.

We warned people that the virus didn't evolve naturally, that it was deliberately released from a laboratory to implement a fake pandemic. But not enough people listened. And now, there is a possibility that they will release a far deadlier virus. And worse than that, it will be a virus that will target the unvaccinated.

And by unvaccinated, that means people who aren't "fully up to date on their vaccines".

Time to go live in the woods. Too bad I'm just as dead out there as I am in the city. :\

Coronavirus mutate so fast that, in short, this shit would just kill everyone. No vaccine would stop it.

The usual idea that a deadly version won't spread far no longer applies, because we gave billions of people all over the world OAS.

don't worry, they lie.. about everything

space is not, cancer is anger, and you have more power than you realize

Egghead's making deadlier viruses because they can 🤮 Cue the Feds storming that lab with flamethrowers...

Put it on Ukraine

We're still waiting on proof of the first "strain".

there are literally photomicrographs of the virus on human tissues post-mortem. the entire thing has had its genome sequenced by labs all over the world. get your head out your ass

genome sequenced by labs all over the world. get your head out your ass

Insilico sequenced. Meaning a best-fit computer program made up a hypothetical genome from fragments.

Tell me you don't understand the concept but use more words.

[–]BISH 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Look up "in silico" analysis. It's a program analysis of assembled fragments. It's a best fit model.

An intact gene is required for any conclusive discovery. That's never been done.

good job

Jesus, it's like the whole world just decided at the same time, "fuck it, I'm going to go ahead and be a supervillain".

The only possible silver lining is one of Russia's nukes dropping on Boston and sterilizing that abomination and the people who made it out of existence.

I want to know what possible insight or knowledge they can gain from doing this....

I find it hard to justify the research given the possible risk.

If this was to escape the people who developed this, planned it, and financed it should be held to the same standards and accountability as the Nazis were.

The usual line of malarkey is they do it to develop vaccines in advance of weaponized pathogens being released intentionally. Some of us think if nobody was allowed (under threat of being blown up) to develop weaponized pathogens, this wouldn't be a problem.

If that escapes nobody will be held accountable.

Here's why... we stupidly, incredibly stupidly, against highly credible scientists screaming at us to stop, went right ahead and vaccinated during a pandemic, with a vaccine for a coronavirus. During a pandemic guaranteed a vaccine-resistant strain would rise up (omicron). Being a coronavirus, all the research said a vaccine would create antigen fixation, meaning as the thing mutates (coronaviruses are among the very fastest to mutate) the injected would have their immune system 'fixated' on an old, out of date version. That means they would become MORE vulnerable to newer versions later. That is already clearly the case, with more injections creating more infections and deaths.

So a deadly version, and billions of people already fixated, means it would sweep the planet like a wildfire, killing off the injected within a few weeks. That would totally destroy all civilization, which would lead to most of the survivors quickly dying too.

There would be nobody around to hold them accountable, indeed they'd already be among the dead.

Then the nuclear reactors melt down and the few survivors die.

The End.

kills 80% of mice bred to study covid infections, not people. not even the mice that have the most human-like immune systems.

it'd be a sniffle for the people who had infections and acquired immunity.

Fucking FACEPALM!

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

yeah even my leftist kool-aid drinking coworker wasn't alarmed by this story

My facepalm was aimed at you, for being so blasé about a casually-made virus, creating something that could destroy humanity.

Lemme explain something... When you create something super contagious it means massive numbers of people will get it, and fast. That would totally overwhelm both the health care systems around the world plus the supplements and vitamin supplies. You don't need a high fatality rate to disrupt everything if everyone is getting it fast.

Further, we just simply do not know how deadly it would be to humans. Fucking around to find out is not a sane option. The entire covid fiasco was from doing that, so let's not do that any more, YA THINK?

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

It will not kill so many as one person. Take your meds.

[–]Bigs 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

Let's hope it doesn't escape. For all we know it already has.

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

frankly for all we know it's a fake story

[–]Bigs 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

They published a paper

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

"a paper on a topic was published" is not a high bar. Literally thousands of papers have been retracted by journals due to fraud, including some, recent, VERY influential in their fields.

My cousin got a niece that was having an affair with some midget from Kansas and he says it's legit.

[–]Bigs 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Very true, but when a group of people from a university publish their controversial acts and the university doesn't deny it, I see absolutely no reason to presume it's a fake story.
