Covid-19 not natural, but result of Wuhan lab-leak: Study

The coronavirus disease did not develop naturally but was created by Chinese scientists in a Wuhan lab who then tried to cover their tracks by reverseengineering versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats according to a breakthrough research conducted by a team of researchersThe research conducted by British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Birger Sorensen is forthcoming in the scientific journal Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery the DailyMailcom reported on FridayIn the 22page paper the researchers describe their monthslong forensic analysis into experiments done at the Wuhan lab between 2002 and 2019Also Read US Health Secretary calls for transparent second phase of Covid19 origins investigationIt concludes that SARSCoronavirus2 has no credible natural ancestor and that it is beyond reasonable doubt that the virus was created through laboratory manipulationThe paper also alleges of unique fingerprints in Covid19 samples that could only have arisen from manipulation in a laboratory and that the likelihood of it being the result of natural processes is very smallA natural virus pandemic would be expected to mutate gradually and become more infectious but less pathogenic which is what many expected with the Covid19 pandemic but which does not appear to have happened the scientists wrote in the paper according to the Daily Mail reportThe implication of our historical reconstruction we posit now beyond reasonable doubt of the purposively manipulated chimeric virus SARSCoV2 makes it imperative to reconsider what types of Gain of Function experiments it is morally acceptable to undertake Because of the wide social impact these decisions cannot be left to research scientists alone they addedDalgleish and Sorensen wrote that they have had prima facie evidence of retroengineering in China for a year but their theory was rejected by academics and major journals the report saidDalgleish is a professor of oncology at St Georges University London while Sorensen is a virologist and chair of pharmaceutical company ImmunorMany experts have until recently denied the lableak theory and claimed that Covid19 originated as a natural infection leaping from animals to humansBut now there has been a shiftA team of 18 scientists from Universities in the US Canada the UK and Switzerland have signed a letter in the journal Science arguing the need to determine the origin of the Covid19 pandemicThe USs top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci also said he is not convinced Covid19 developed naturallyUS President Joe Biden last week ordered the intelligence community to redouble efforts to examine how the virus originated including the lab accident theoryThe European Union the UK Australia and Japan also have joined the US in seeking a deeper probe into the origins of the pandemicThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
