Chinese scientists 'create' Covid strain with 100% kill rate in mice

Scientists in Beijing - who are linked to the Chinese military - cloned a Covid-like virus found in pangolins, known as GX_P2V, and used it to infect mice that had been 'humanized.'

Chinese scientists 'create' a mutant coronavirus strain that attacks the BRAIN and has a 100% kill rate in mice - as they admit there's a 'risk it spills over to humans'
Eight rodents infected with the pathogen 'surprisingly' died within eight days
Critics of the study said: 'This madness must be stopped before [it is] too late'
Chinese scientists have been experimenting with a mutant coronavirus strain that is 100 percent lethal in mice — despite concerns such research could spark another pandemic.
Scientists in Beijing — who are linked to the Chinese military — cloned a Covid-like virus found in pangolins, known as GX_P2V, and used it to infect mice.
The mice had been 'humanized', meaning they were engineered to express a protein found in people, with the goal being to assess how the virus might react in humans.
Every rodent that was infected with the pathogen died within eight days, which the researchers described as 'surprisingly' quick.
The team were also surprised to find high levels of viral load in the mice's brains and eyes - suggesting the virus, despite being related to Covid, multiplies and spreads through the body in a unique way.
Writing in a scientific paper that has not yet been published, they warned the finding 'underscores a spillover risk of GX_P2V into humans'.

I know, right?

The mercy virus?

I know, right?

Given that the accidental lab release is now the leading theory for Covid-19.

Terrif.

The daily mail, a tabloid noted for inaccurate
sensationalist stories.

So why are you posting this?

Just any excuse to bash China?

Leading theory among people who will
believe anything if its anti China.

That's all we need. Does anything good come out of China anymore?

I am not using this article to bash the communist government of China.

I'm confused. Am I to now think that Chinese coronaviruses are now a bad thing? Or is this still like the flu?

So it did:

'Professor Francois Balloux, an infectious disease expert based at University College London, wrote on Twitter (X): 'It's a terrible study, scientifically totally pointless. I can see nothing of vague interest that could be learned from force-infecting a weird breed of humanized mice with a random virus.'

And...'However, the original strain of Covid also killed 100 percent in mice in some studies...'

The mercy virus?

I like the idea as long as it doesn't hurt.

Folks, please don’t try and freak out over this. Before you post half-truth bullcrap, please check many sources.

Did Chinese Scientists Experiment With 'COVID-Like' Virus That Killed 100% Of Mice?

A study about the research was uploaded to the bioRxiv servers.

Thank you. That does have some interesting information.

If the Daily Mail (which is what you linked to) hit a 50% truth ratio my flabber would be suitably gasted.

Specifying communist govt
gives you away, if the source
didnt already.

That is why I found more sources about the GX_P2V
