In a recent YouTube video, Alina Chan, a scientific adviser at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, raised concerns about a new study on a mutant coronavirus strain developed by Chinese scientists. The virus, which exhibits a 100% kill rate in mice, is a modified version of one found in pangolins. However, Chan provided reassurance by highlighting that the humanized mice used in the experiments also succumbed to the pandemic virus at the same rate, mitigating some of the initial alarm. She emphasized the critical need for transparency in risky virus research and underscored the dangers associated with inadequate lab safety protocols.
Chan pointed out a significant omission in the study, highlighting that it did not specify the biosafety level at which the experiments were conducted. This omission leaves the possibility of potential lab escapes and the undetermined origins of such viruses. She advocated for more stringent regulations and oversight to prevent potential pandemics, stressing the necessity for increased safety measures and a centralized enforcing mechanism for biosafety regulations.
The discussion by Alina Chan sheds light on the importance of robust safety measures and transparent research practices in the context of potentially hazardous virus studies. Why would they evn create something like this? Hasn’t the world been through enough or is the part of a global population control agenda?
