UK scientists created mutant Covid strains in 'high-risk, low-benefit' lab experiments:

[canada-man]

British scientists intentionally created hybrid Covid strains in risky experiments judged to be like 'playing with fire', MailOnline can reveal.

Hamsters were infected with mutant viruses, blends of the original Wuhan strain and parts of either Omicron or Delta.

Critics of the research, carried out by Imperial College London, called it 'insanity' and warned the lab trials could, in theory, unleash a new viral threat. Twenty scientists were involved in the project, including one who sits on the Government's advisory panel SAGE.


But the university insists the study, part-funded by the taxpayer, followed British regulations and was entirely safe.

Our revelation comes amid ongoing furore over similar experiments in the US, where authorities have proposed a crackdown on virus manipulation research.

Earlier this month, DailyMail.com, MailOnline's US equivalent, revealed academics at Boston University combined different parts of the Omicron and the original Wuhan Covid strains.

Is this yet another Daily Mail story that flies in the face of actual facts?

Seems to be their new beat.
They clearly think they've got a winner with this.

Here, not DailyMail and something similar. I hope this doesn't cause you to recoil in panic since it's not DM.

After the fact: Another controversial virus study raises questions about US government oversight

Researchers in Boston ignited a controversy recently after manipulating the omicron strain of the COVID-19 virus and creating a virus that was more deadly in mice than the original omicron. While Boston University defended the work saying its team had followed government policies for oversight...

And a scientist's opinion to above article, he seems legit "Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology" - not a software guy.

Why would a sober, measured article in the Bulliten of Atomic Scientists make me recoil in panic?
Especially since it points out how bullshit the framing of the Daily Mail article was?
