The Biden administration's apparent unwillingness to conduct a serious official investigation of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 that holds China accountable for its actions and lack of cooperation could result in a pandemic much more lethal that the current one, warns a leading researcher.
Raw data from patient specimens posted in the National Institutes of Health's gene bank showed researchers at the Wuhan lab in December 2019 were manipulating genes from the highly lethal Nipah virus, Quay said.
Quay told "Fox Business Tonight" on Thursday that virus research at the Wuhan lab poses "An existential threat to life as we know it on this planet."
Do you think a more deadly virus than COVID-19 is in the works?
The Wuhan researchers were taking one-third of the entire genome of the Nipah virus and moving it around, via synthetic biology.
The furin cleavage site enables the virus to bind to a human cell and release its genetic material, helping make the virus more transmissible and harmful.
A 2018 grant application by EcoHealth Alliance founder Peter Daszak for research at the Wuhan lab proposed splicing furin cleavage site sequences into bat viruses so a research team could look for changes in infectivity.
