Engineered Bat Virus Stirs Debate Over Risky Research

This article is from 2015, the 2020 disclaimer added to the article is kind of funny. I find myself thinking "Sure Jan...."

They were messing with some very bad stuff, and it makes you question a lot. 

" The researchers created a chimaeric virus, made up of a surface protein of SHC014 and the backbone of a SARS virus that had been adapted to grow in mice and to mimic human disease. The chimaera infected human airway cells — proving that the surface protein of SHC014 has the necessary structure to bind to a key receptor on the cells and to infect them. It also caused disease in mice, but did not kill them.

Although almost all coronaviruses isolated from bats have not been able to bind to the key human receptor, SHC014 is not the first that can do so. In 2013, researchers reported this ability for the first time in a different coronavirus isolated from the same bat population2."

Someone screwed up somewhere along the line. The fact these mad scientists alone, had no problem creating or altering viruses that could harm humans, is problem enough.

Stephen King in his book "The Stand" warned of a pandemic to come out of a government lab.

  1. It is so scary, what is being allowed to go on. Ethics are not even being considered. You can feel the evil in the world. It is so obvious now, I don't see how people do not see it.

    1. I agree. I can't believe stuff is evil is being allowed to continue. It's horrifying. I don't get how people don't see it either.
