Haven’t mad scientists learned a lesson from dangerous research?
Of course not!
Because many researchers have a God complex and wish to endanger the rest of humanity who simply wish to be left alone.
Despite the outcry of risky gain-of-function research, here we go again with scientists trying to make pathogens more dangerous to humans.
“US researchers have developed a new lethal Covid strain in a laboratory – echoing the type of experiments many fear started the pandemic,” the Daily Mail reports.
“The mutant variant — which is a hybrid of Omicron and the original Wuhan virus — killed 80 percent of mice infected with it at Boston University.”
A similar group of rodents were reportedly exposed to the standard Omicron strain and all survived with only mild symptoms.
What is the point of these experiments?
The only logical explanation is bioweapons research.

Boston University CREATES a new Covid strain that has an 80% kill rate — echoing dangerous experiments feared to have started pandemic
Could we stop doing this, maybe? https://t.co/dLREt1uJ11

Daily Mail reported:
The scientists also infected human cells with the hybrid variant and found it was five times more infectious than Omicron. This suggests the man-made virus might be the most contagious form yet.
It will no doubt surprise many Americans that such experiments continue to go on in the US despite concerns similar studies may have led to the global Covid outbreak.
Covid first began spreading from a wet market in Wuhan, China, about eight miles from a similar high-security virology laboratory that manipulated bat coronaviruses.
Chinese scientists were found to have wiped crucial databases and stifled independent investigations into the facility’s links to the pandemic.
In the new research, which has not been peer-reviewed, a team of researchers from Boston and Florida extracted Omicron’s spike protein — the unique structure that binds to and invades human cells.
It has always been present in the virus but has become more evolved over time. Omicron has dozens of mutations on its spike protein that made it so infectious.
Researchers attached Omicron’s spike to the original wildtype strain that first emerged in Wuhan at the start of the pandemic.
The researchers looked at how mice fared against the new hybrid strain compared to the original Omicron variant.
Writing in the paper, they said: ‘In…mice, while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80 percent.’
The researchers said it signaled that while the spike protein is responsible for infectivity, changes to other parts of its structure determine its deadliness.
The scientists also looked at the different strains’ effect on human lung cells that were grown in the lab.
They found that the original Covid strain produced the high levels of infectious virus particles, and the new hybrid strain produced five times more infectious particles than Omicron.
The scientists admit the hybrid virus would be unlikely to be as deadly in real humans as it was in mice.
WeLoveTrump previously reported on a partnership formed between EcoHealth Alliance and Boston University.
In August 2022, EcoHealth Alliance and Boston University jointly announced receiving a $1 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention Phase One research program.

Whether it's China or the United States, mad scientists risk the lives of everyone with this dangerous, Frankenstein research.Â
