Researchers at Boston University have created a version of the coronavirus that is five times as transmissible as the original Wuhan strain and 80 times as deadly. The research combined the spike protein from the highly transmissible Omicron variant of covid with the original Wuhan strain and tested it on mice. Eighty percent of the test subjects died.
Those conducting the experiment speculated that the resulting new variant "would probably not be as deadly with humans as it was with the tested mice because the mice were especially bred to be highly susceptible to covid. Basically, their immune systems were compromised by injections of drugs that suppressed their bodies' natural immune responses to pathogens."
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan) wondered "why are we doing these kinds of dangerous experiments? Wasn't it bad enough that the world had to endure a two year pandemic that is reported to have killed more than six million people when the original coronavirus escaped from a Chinese lab?"
Dr. Anthony Fauci called Marshall's fears "unwarranted and anti-science. First, a lab isn't the only way a more deadly virus might be created. Nature is quite capable of generating very virulent diseases. Before there were any labs cooking up germs the Bubonic plague killed an estimated 75 to 200 million during the fourteenth century. Second, we can't rule out the possibility that a massive die-off of humans might be needed to save the planet from climate change. Developing a deadly disease to accomplish this objective would be less messy than relying on a nuclear war to reach that goal. So we shouldn't be so quick to condemn the work that is being done at Boston University and other sites around the globe to produce an effective pathogen."

Last I checked “Radar Online” was NEITHER a personal source nor a blog.
You may want to do a bit more research before arbitrarily putting postings such as this one in that category.
These lunatics need to be reigned in before they unleash a plague on the world.
Recall that in 1942 Enrico Fermi built the first sustained nuclear reactor under the stands of the football stadium at the University of Chicago. The mayor of Chicago and other elected officials (and the public) were not notified about the nuclear reactor until afterwards.
Sounds like we have some more "Mad Scientists" at work
with "gain of function" at a research facility.
Who would fund them ? .. other than Fauxxi (?), and the Chinese (?)
Time to hold all accountable !.. and terminate all "gain of function" funding research
"Fool me once, ..shame on you
Fool me twice,.. shame on Me ! "
