| #12 A team of researchers at Hebei Medical University used a contagious disease of livestock and added a protein found in Ebola, which allows the virus to infect cells and spread throughout the human body. I.e. they have done Gain of Function by adding an Ebola protein to a different virus' proteome. Why would one expect any effective vaccination/antiviral medication to do anything about the original Ebola disease which is caused by the original Ebola virus? |

| #11 I agree with #1 in a good lab. Under poor supervision or given poor lab material conditions, any communist worker will still try to meet the goal or quota to avoid punishment. I think that is what we are seeing in some of the clandestine labs. |

| #10 First the Monkeypox, now Chibola. Hamsters getting a rough go. Good to see DM admit Chyna does bioweapon stuff. |

| #9 Fortunately, the nuclear fires are likely to kill the virus. |

| #7 Just remember, this is only what we're hearing about, and the truth is likely much worse. (I'm just a little ray of sunshine...) |

| #6 OTOH, it's early and if this is the extent of my problems today I have nothing to complain about. |

| #4 maybe concentrate on curing "existing diseases" instead of trying to cook up 'new diseases." |

| #2 Spot on #1. In a few words you covered it all very accurately. Cutting corners to save money in nearly everything. I have seen this in the medical field though my experience was limited. I would include Pakistanis. I would have to add Pakistanis well known for quality surgical instruments. |

| #1 In my experience, Chinese "scientists" are superbly trained technicians with no imagination, intuition, and terrifying narrowness of vision. Since they are also insanely competitive - leading to cutting corners (e.g. bet you they didn't bother to check if the engineered virus is infectious to humans), these are very bad news. |
