The elites will never release anything that could spread to them , So never a 100% kill rate without a antidote .

I don't see anything in there about an attempt to weaponize the virus. I see them studying an already existent virus that could potentially make the jump to humans in the future.
Gee, I wonder why they'd want to do that on the heels of a pandemic.

I don't see anything about gain of function in this research.
There are facilities all over the world where scientists research diseases and viruses that have the potential to do significant damage to humanity. They do this so they can hopefully be prepared if an outbreak ever occurs.
Do you want them to just stop so we'll be wholly unprepared if this virus ever makes the jump to humans?

Professor Francois Balloux, an infectious disease expert based at University College London, wrote on Twitter (X): 'It's a terrible study, scientifically totally pointless.
'I can see nothing of vague interest that could be learned from force-infecting a weird breed of humanized mice with a random virus. Conversely, I could see how such stuff might go wrong...'
Professor Richard Ebright, a chemist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, told DailyMail.com he wholeheartedly agreed with Professor Balloux's assessment.
He added: 'The preprint does not specify the biosafety level and biosafety precautions used for the research.
'The absence of this information raises the concerning possibility that part or all of this research, like the research in Wuhan in 2016-2019 that likely caused the Covid-19 pandemic, recklessly was performed without the minimal biosafety containment and practices essential for research with a potential pandemic pathogens.'

Doctors trained by Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have made their version of “pangolin coronavirus” which has been found to have 100 per cent mortality in mice.
According to the study, carried out by the Beijing University of Chemical Technology, the virus was discovered in 2017 prior to the Covid outbreak.
The mice, when infected with GX_P2V, displayed severe symptoms, including rapid weight loss within five days after being infected, sluggishness, and their eyes went white. All four mice subjected to the virus died within eight days of infection, revealing a rapid and fatal progression of the disease.

I always wondered how let's say, the Daily Mail knows about the highest order of top-secret projects. If China was doing this how would the world even know? This logic seems to play out in other areas too in ...we got word of extremely top-secret projects...etc.
Really?

(see Covid19 pandemic)
But have a look at the reaction by other scientists who completely disagree with the gain of functions research on that level and it doesn't matter what the daily mail says.
