Chinese Scientists Develop Lethal COVID Mutation as Alarming Lab Experiment Raises Safety Concerns
Chinese scientists have once again made headlines for their experimentation, this time with a mutated strain of Covid, engineered to boast a chilling 100% kill rate in “humanized” mice.
Background:
Humanized mice, a common presence in labs, are essentially mice genetically modified with functional human cells or tissues for biomedical research.
Details of the Experiment:
The newly created virus, named GX_PS7, is a product of a Chinese laboratory. All mice infected with this engineered virus succumbed within a mere 8 days. The virus aggressively attacked various organs, including the lungs, bones, eyes, tracheas, and ultimately, the brains of the mice – a fatal sequence noted by researchers. Adding to the unsettling nature of the experiment, the mice’s eyes turned stark white on the final day before death.
Researcher Statement:
Chinese researchers, in their report, acknowledged that GX_PS7, a SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus, caused a 100% mortality rate in hACE2 mice, indicating a potential risk of spillage into the human population
Critical Viewpoint:
Francois Balloux, an epidemiology expert, expressed concern on X, pointing out that the published research lacks information on the biosafety level and precautions employed during the experiment.
Broader Implications:
While the experiment raises eyebrows, it’s crucial to note that testing on humanized mice doesn’t offer a direct comparison to human reactions. The unknown impact of GX_PS7 on humans raises significant safety concerns.
The Chinese scientists’ latest venture into COVID experimentation amplifies anxieties about the safety and ethical considerations surrounding such endeavors. As the world grapples with the ongoing pandemic, the transparency and safeguards in laboratory research become even more critical.
