Twenty scientists at the Imperial College in London infected hamsters with mutant viruses including strains of the original coronavirus and parts of Omicron or Delta, according to the Daily Mail.
Dr. Richard Ebright, a molecular biology expert at Rutgers University, warns the experiment could ignite another pandemic wave.
“At least four labs on two continents now have construed non-natural, lab-generated viruses that retain the high immune escape of Omicron and acquire higher severity than Omicron and that, as such, are reasonably expected to increase transmission or pathogenicity in humans,” Ebright noted on Twitter.
This is insanity. Both In terms of the redundancy and waste. And, especially, in terms of the risk of triggering a new pandemic wave upon accidental release of the lab-generated viruses--a risk exacerbated by the fact the lab-generated viruses are present in multiple locations.

There is no need for this. Too many unforeseen things can happen to release thise things. From terrrorist attacks to natural disasters, to pissed off employees, to mad people, to just being human.
See whatever escaped in russia, actually was just left in an old fridge after the lab went bust.
These manmade death bringers need not exist. Neither di we need weapons of mass destruction.
It's always only a handful of feckers who kill millions.
