#COVID19: “The Worst is Yet Ahead of Us”: National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the organization led by Dr. Fauci, funded scientists at the #Wuhan #Institute of #Virology and other institutions for work on #gain-#of-#function research on #bat #coronaviruses which involves #manipulating #viruses in the #lab to explore their potential #for #infecting #humans. ”

“The work in question was a type of gain-of-function research that involved taking wild #viruses and passing them through live animals until they #mutate into a form that could pose a #pandemic #threat. Scientists used it to take a virus that was poorly transmitted among humans and make it into one that was #highly #transmissible—a hallmark of a pandemic virus. ”

“”#spillover #potential” refers to the ability of a #virus to jump from #animals #to #humans, which requires that the #virus be able to #attach to #receptors in the #cells of #humans. SARS-CoV-2, e.g., is adept at binding to the #ACE2 #receptor in #human #lungs and #other #organs.”
