(EXCLUSIVE) Experts: 'Omicron Covid-19 likely came from a lab, too’

Scientists say Omicron appears to have a clear lab origin

Future lab releases of Covid-19 variants are “likely”

When Omicron emerged, many scientists were bowled over by the lightning speed with which it spread. Although public health officials had warned that the original Covid-19 was highly contagious and fast-moving— it looked like it was standing still next to the Omicron variant.

Now, some scientists examining the virus have concluded “vast” genetic mutations that likely occurred in a lab setting are what makes Omicron spread so quickly.

Omicron was first detected in Botswana, South Africa, reported to have been brought by a foreign delegation from a country officials will not identify, making it more difficult for outside observers to track its origin.

To many scientists, the genetic differences that made Omicron so quickly transmissible caused it to immediately stand out as unlikely to be a result of a natural evolution. Some note the “rapid accumulation of mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant that enabled its outbreak.”

Just because we’re paranoid, doesn’t mean everyone’s NOT out to get us.

I have no doubt that it did come from a lab

There is no doubt in my former military mind that the U.S. is under a biological attack by the global communist party and their “democrat” wing here in this country.

Dr. Malone suggested it back in December. He was smiling when he said it.

Wonder how many years will it take for us to get the real story ?

Attkisson might have a little more credibility if she had one "scientist" on the record claiming this, but she doesn't.

Some Chinese researchers say the mutations could have happened in mice and jumped to humans, but that's as close as she gets.

Everyone else she quotes is anonymous, which seems odd if they're making a legit scientific claim.

Very likely. But Omicron actually stopped Delta and ended the pandemic or changed it anyway to an "endemic".

Agree. Near everybody except a few shut ins got Omnicron and that was the end of the Chicom flu.

We have one more cycle to go before the Nov elections. Maybe two.

Not odd, considering that professional persecution is a weapon willfully utilized to punish those who speak actual science.

Plus the fact that it was revealed today that big pharma has offered BIG $$ to silence critics.

A lot of stuff comes from a lab. Look at Brandon’s brain.

She cites a John Hopkins virologist, Andrew Pekosz.

She then cites a scientific paper by authors Changshuo Wei, Ke-Jia Shan, Weiguang Wang, Shuya Zhang, and Qing Huan.

Those are at the Atkisson.com link.

If you are not allowed to debate it, it isn’t science.

About as long as it’s taking to get the JFK Assassination Docs released. Never.

Agree: “Near everybody except a few shut ins got Omnicron and that was the end of the Chicom flu.”

A 50+ age son got hammered with it, and his 80+ mom and dad/me had a miserable head cold for about 2-3 days probably thanks to him. We labeled it as OmniCrud. His wife and adult kid had zippo.

One of our healthy nieces got it and so did her healthy husband. They got hammered like our son (1200 miles apart and no contact). Their under 12 kids had a mild cold and my niece’s mother and father, living next door didn’t get it.
