Boston University scientists were today condemned for 'playing with fire' after it emerged they had created a lethal new Covid strain in a laboratory.
DailyMail.com revealed the team had made a hybrid virus — combining Omicron and the original Wuhan strain — that killed 80 per cent of mice in a study.
The revelation exposes how dangerous virus manipulation research continues to go on even in the US, despite fears similar practices may have started the pandemic.
Professor Shmuel Shapira, a leading scientist in the Israeli Government, said: 'This should be totally forbidden, it's playing with fire.'
Gain of function research - when viruses are purposefully manipulated to be more infectious or deadly - is thought to be at the center of Covid's origin.
A Chinese laboratory located just miles from the first cluster of cases carried out similar research on bat coronaviruses.
But the practice has been largely restricted in the US since 2017.
Dr Richard Ebright, a chemist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, told DailyMail.com that: 'The research is a clear example of gain of function research.
He added: 'If we are to avoid a next lab-generated pandemic, it is imperative that oversight of enhanced potential pandemic pathogen research be strengthened.'
Outrage as Boston University CREATES Covid strain that has an 80% kill rate | Daily Mail Online
Today we call for the arrest and criminal prosecution of the scientists at Boston University who have apparently violated US law and engaged in dangerous gain-of-function research to create a chimeric covid “superstrain” that achieves an 80% kill rate in mice. This bombshell news was broken by the UK Daily Mail in an exclusive story that documents how Boston University scientists combined a spike protein from the Omicron strain with the “original Wuhan Covid strain” to create a new super strain that kills 80% of mice upon exposure.
The organizations involved in this research — all of which should be immediately investigated for criminal violations of gain-of-function research prohibitions in the United States — include:
Department of Biochemistry, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA
National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories, Boston University, Boston, MA, USA
Department of Microbiology, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA
Cleveland Clinic Florida Research and Innovation Center, Port St. Lucie, FL, USA
Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA
Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, MA, USA
Center for Regenerative Medicine of Boston University and Boston Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA
The Pulmonary Center and Department of Medicine, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA
Take note of all the organizations and individuals involved in this dangerous research, for if this chimeric, deadly bioweapon escapes their hold, this time the U.S. won’t be able to blame China. It’s home-grown biological terrorism this time.
