Covid bombshell: Wuhan scientists plotted to ‘create new coronavirus’ before outbreak. Based upon this, we’d say it wasn’t the bat soup that caused this pandemic. Note the proposal was supposedly dropped. Uh-huh.
According to the Telegraph, leaked documents filed with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), show an international team of scientists were planning to grow a new virus by combining the genetic material of various other strains.
The documents appear to show scientists had planned to take the genetic sequences of known coronavirus strains to combine them into a new generation of virus.
The proposal reads: “We will compile sequence/RNAseq data from a panel of closely related strains and compare full-length genomes, scanning for unique SNPs representing sequencing errors.
But, they’re sticking the bat soup story…
Authors Amy Maxmen and Smriti Mallapaty noted the virus could have emerged from a lab “in theory” and the theory cannot be entirely ruled out but “many infectious-disease researchers agree that the most probable scenario is that the virus evolved naturally and spread from a bat either directly to a person or through an intermediate animal”
