A scientific laboratory in Boston says it has created a deadlier version of the COVID-19 virus that led governments around the world to shutdown economies, harshly restrict freedom, and destroy millions of lives.
Boston Universities scientists have apparently added a spike protein from the hyper-contagious Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus and added it to the original strain that originated in Wuhan, China.
Gain of function research, the term that describes adding additional capabilities or qualities to a virus, is the technique some researchers believe led to the COVID-19 outbreak in the first place.
Here’s a screenshot from the research paper touting the… accomplishment.
