EXCLUSIVE: Chinese scientists find a NEW bat coronavirus linked to pangolins that has same freak mutation as Covid - and some experts say it shoots down the lab leak theory

The discovery of a new wild coronavirus that has the same freak mutation as Covid-19 is being hailed by some scientists as proof Sars-CoV-2 was not made in a lab.

Researchers in China have found another bat coronavirus that possesses a furin cleavage site — the part that made Covid-19 so good at infecting people.

The furin has been one of the focal points of debate about Covid-19's origin, with some experts claiming it could only have been acquired through lab experiments.

Since then, studies have shown that wild coronaviruses can acquire the structure naturally — but the newly-discovered virus has another coincidental quirk.

The virus — known as TyRo-CoV-162275 — is up to 98 percent identical to coronaviruses found in pangolins, the animal long suspected of passing Covid-19 to humans.

I don't think I want to know what the lonely guys are doing to the pangolins. (South Park had a pretty rude episode about that)

The original was NOT created. It was cultivated.

The only thing this tells me is that China is still F-ing around with impunity.

Uh-huh.

What a coincidence. China had better watch out, or pretty soon they’ll be compared to CNN & MSNBC.

Chinese scientists find...

Could those be Communist Chinese Scientists?

Yes, I'm sure they "found"...

See the plan is we find a ‘wild coronavirus’ and then claim “See, see COVID-19 was from the wild”!

Excuse me boss, where do you suggest we look for this ‘wild coronavirus’?

Its over there where I planted it…… now get to work finding it!

> Researchers in China… <

Why would anyone believe anything China has to say? All they do is lie. For example, when Covid first broke out China tried to blame it on visiting US servicemen.

If tomorrow the Chinese say 1+1 = 2, I’d seriously wonder if 1+1 really equals 3.

The Chinese eat pangolins and use pangolin scales for folk medicine.

The similarity of SARS-2 to pangolin and bat coronaviruses was known very early but it’s not identical with either one. Both animals were sold in the wet market making it a possible site for the virus to evolve.

A furin cleavage site is actually present in a LOT of coronaviruses. How does the presence of a natural genetic element of many coronaviruses "prove" laboratory manipulation of a coronavirus?

Quite simply, it doesn't.

Furin cleavage sites naturally occur in coronaviruses.

One thing I find amazing about all of the antivax/Covid conspiracies is that, on the one hand, we are suppose to believe a wild science fiction scenario in which Chinese scientists maliciously created a killer virus to destroy humanity. But, on the other hand, we are supposed to believe that Covid is no worse than any other cold, that all of the excess deaths caused by Covid were caused by something else, and that an FDA approved vaccine is more dangerous than catching Covid.

And we are supposed to believe both of these narratives at the same time without being bothered by or even noticing the obvious contradictions.

This is why I stick to the scientific explanations rather than conspiracies.

Exactly, they have had 3-4 years to engineer/modify a virus to make it appear wild . It’s admitted GE can be done in such a way as to cover or erase signs it ever was used.

That means we can never know for sure without finding original evidence, documents etc……either way.

One scientist said that the Corona virus had too many “inserts” to be natural. It would be like taking random paragraphs out of one novel and putting into another novel.
Clearly recognizable as not belonging there. Also, it’s possible that the virus has jumped from humans to animals and we’re seeing it interact with natural viruses.

China = Satan’s children.

Do NOT believe anything coming from China. They do Satan’s bidding.

Well it was not easy infecting the pangolin with covid. These things take time.
