A growing number of scientists are raising the possibility COVID-19 was created in a laboratory, saying the option cannot be ruled out. Leading immunologists and geneticists say that there are two unusual things about COVID-19 that open the door to it being man-made rather than a naturally-occurring virus. The first is that the virus binds to human ACE2 receptor cells more strongly than it does to any other animal, including bats.
“If I was trying to engineer a virus strain with a higher affinity and infective potential to humans, I would do exactly that: I would add a Furin Cleavage site directly at the original less effective and more cell specific cleavage site.” La Trobe University Chemistry and Physics Professor David Winkler says there are several possibilities for the source of COVID-19 and you cannot rule out the laboratory as one option.
Absolute rubbish
Sky news is utter shite
SharriMarkson
It’s called gain-of-function and it’s research that was banned in the US and then offshored and funded by the US in China.
Shocker,they mixed Kawasaki, SARS and the common flu. I’m sure a bat didn’t acquire all of these viruses by itself? It does Cary the original parasite similar and often mutated form of the Hendra parasite:but look at the overwhelming evidence found and published online now hidden
Narrator: It wasn't.
We've been saying this since the outbreak. Well I have.
now joins the ranks of loony conspiracy theorists. Maybe rename yourselves PieInTheSkyNews. Or maybe just LoonyToons.
Most scientists will probably support whatever theory WHO tell them to.
Sky 'News' back at it again
This distraction tactics is getting old. Go get an upgrade.
I've been saying this since Dec. The question then however, was whether is was accidental or deliberate (I lean towards the latter).
Der, that's why an investigation is wanted, and China trying to delay or stop it !
More bullshit from the Murdoch Crap Machine that is Sky NotNews.
Horse shit !!
Are you still stuck on that? So bloody tedious
SharriMarkson isnt an Epidemiologist... a journalist or a person of knowledge. She does jump on bandwagons with her alfoil hat..
SharriMarkson I think this theory is one of a hundred. Still, it keeps Markson under the spotlight where she likes to be.
Regarding the origin, we need check which country has much earlier cases and abnormally high confirmed numbers. Being the discover doesn't mean discover's home is the origin.
Three possible places: 1. Fort Detrick Lab in Maryland 2. the University of North Carolina 3. Plum Island biolab in New York state
💯 man made
I heard 97% of scientists said the make up of the virus showed it can't have been created in a lab. Report the facts not propaganda.
We don’t really know, but when a government doesn’t want a thorough independent investigation, it looks awfully suspicious. Some might think they were developing biological weapons? Who knows?
You mob don’t even talk to scientists, witch doctors yes
2 months ago, and ever since.....scientists said NOT MADE IN A LAB. DESPERATE SkyNews making Murdoch's mockery more solidified. FUCKING FAKE NEWS
It's funny to think there's people who believe it was an accident!.. It's one thing to agree with the general consensus in order to keep your job.. But to actually believe it was an accident is funny to say the least.
Really - I wonder why
Soooooo now Your running with a old Fox news story that was already been debunked Your just Sad really trying to be a little fox Chris Kenny is no Laura Ingram both just as thick but that's it!
Ah yes a 'growing number of scientists' ! I See Sky 'News' Again running the Anti-Science playbook!!!
We knew it all along . No one trusts China or the WHO - inept and dishonest.
This from the Queen of FAKE NEWS Sharri Markson SharriMarkson Good grief, she is an idiot auspol
Getting the population ready for war?
Funny how this was once a conspiracy theory and we were all mad.
Maybe we can ask that lab for a cure ?
Fake News
Another British and Brutish attempt to play the blame game by the same gang of perpetrators. It’s so evident what these countries are trying to do. Such shameless low lives.
No, actually, they ruled that out quite some time ago.
If you had any half decent journalists working there you would be asking the right questions
The same bio lab given US funding under the Obama administration? Those still parroting the origin as the nearby wet markets or an accidental release havn't been paying attention?
And everyone who was banned from social media sites for saying so? - those that were called 'conspiracy theorists' and the rest? how do these corporate media companies reconcile that now?
Or US lab, cruise ship we infected, US ships we infected in the middle of the oceans never been in contact with China. In France and Italy people were sick in early December and China detected virus in late December 2019.
Follow the money....
The truth may never surface. Even if covid 19 was created in lab. Will the world has the courage to accept the truth and hold those lunatics accountable for this disaster?
But a much greater number of scientists have pointed out that the COVID-19 lab origin theory is bullshit.
Oh f*ck off. China must be held accountable their crimes against humanity, but it doesn't need such a silly claim that it was somehow manufactured in a laboratory.
COVID19 is just a cover name from WHO. The real virus name should be call WuhanVirus
...and the overwhelming majority of scientists who have examined the rna sequence have found no evidence of lab manipulation. Sky 'News' going the full Trump... again.
duh
A growing number of scientists have raised the possibility COVID-19 was created at Sky News, saying the option cannot be ruled out.
Spread a pandemic, watch the world suffer, get your ill deeds fulfilled, simply emerge as superpower, no need of cold war😂😂
100% made by CCP, but not sure it was a leaking or someone's decision
It doesn't take much to work that out from a basic scientific aspect. Man made virus and natural one have some basic differences. This point has already been shown to be true in regards to this virus.
I'm making my shocked face.
Agree 100%
