Recently, the news about Boston University creating a new type of virus became a red-hot topic. It is said that the virus has a lethality rate of 80 percent. Is it true?
The news spread as a study done by Boston University was published as a preprint on Oct. 14. But it isn’t as scary as people think, because the data is from animal models, not from human trials. However, I still disagree with this type of “gain-of-function” research because it brings a lot of unpredictable risks.
When viruses are that lethal they are pretty useless, because the hosts die, lessening the spread. What they are after is one that is lethal AND highly transmissable, However, that is a contradiction in natural terms. If you like, the host has to be up and about to spread the virus, so in that case, the virus aims to be mild.
That is if you believe any of this virus theory.
I believe it has more to do with parasites, and one's body's reaction to die-offs.
...compelling observation....
