Covid was engineered by scientists for carnage and may have infected Patient Zero after MONKEY BITE, boo… – The US Sun

COVID appears to have been "tailor made for carnage" and may have escaped from the Wuhan lab after a scientist was bitten by an infected monkey, a bombshell new book has claimed.

Scientists have uncovered evidence that Covid was "exquisitely matched", "completely pre-adapted" and "supercharged" for humans when it first emerged in December 31.

It is suggested it had been meddled with and souped by in Frankenvirus experiments at the Wuhan lab at the eye of the storm over the origins of the pandemic.

And it is theorised this new virus - tampered with and ready to infect humans - may have leaked from the lab and gone on to kill 4.7million people worldwide.

Investigative journalist Sharri Markson's What really happened in Wuhan has uncovered a string of evidence pointing to the fact Covid could have been "genetically engineered" by the Wuhan Institute of Virology to make it more lethal.

For years, Markson said, Shi Zhengli - dubbed "batwoman" - has been manipulating viruses and inserting spike protein genes into coronaviruses to make them more infectious in humans.

The lab has a history of using techniques which can hide any traces of genetic engineering, and scientists have noted how Covid has highly unusual features - which point to a lab origin.

Markson said the answers to the origins of the pandemic lies in the unique genome of the virus.

"Its unique properties reveal so much about its likely origins as scientists, investigators and intelligence analysts seek to unravel its moment of inception," she said.

"This incredibly devastating virus is like no other, despite sharing properties with its SARS cousins. In character and behaviour it gives the impression it is purpose built to infect humans.

"It acts as if it's tailor made for human carnage, almost unstoppable in its capacity to ravage the human respiratory system.

"The millions dead all over the world attest to that."

It was completely pre-adapted to humans

And in one of the most sensational claims in the new book, former Donald Trump administration official David Asher revealed a whistleblower told him the virus may have escaped in an infected lab monkey biting a technician.

Asher was put in a touch with someone who claimed to have worked with Dr Shi Zhengli, China's so-called "Bat Woman".

The source told him "all hell had broken loose" at the lab with workers falling in around October 2019 - two months before China warned the world about Covid.

The scientist claimed the lab had been encouraged to do "hazardous" research by the Chinese military, which was later backed up by a second source.

And the lab worker claimed the outbreak had started from a monkey bite - with numerous labs in Wuhan known to have kept the animals.

However, Asher noted while he took the information seriously - he could not independently verify the claims and feared they could have been red herrings to throw the US of the scent in the hunt for the virus' origins.

Dr Steven Quay said the Wuhan lab has a history of making viruses "more virulent, more transmissible and more lethal"

He said Covid was "exquisitely matched" to humans, pointing to a possible lab origin.

"It was completely pre-adapted to humans," he told Markson. "This is the first virus from nature that has strong human-to-human transfer right from the beginning."

Dr Quay said the end result is always "supercharged" viruses.

And while examining the genome sequence of Covid, scientists found the genetic code for what is known as a "furin cleavage site".

Professor Richard Ebright said this is a "noteworthy" as it has never be seen before in coronaviruses, and it appears in the exact spot where scientists genetically tweak viruses to make them more infectious to humans.

In other words, a "furin cleavage site" boosts the ability of a virus to jump between species, and can also make it more transmissible within a species.

Nikolai Petrovsky, one of the scientists behind the development of the Covid vaccine, told Markson: "The issue is that the Covid-19 has a furin cleavage site whereas neither the bat virus that is its closest relative nor SARS have it.

"A question then is, where did Covid-19 get its furin cleavage site from?"

Petrovsky said the findings all point to a manmade virus - but the evidence was deemed "political dynamite" and scientific journals refused to the publish any papers on the clues.

"The virus spike protein looked like it couldn't have been better designed to fit the human," he said.

"The SARS-Cov-2 spike protein had uniquely evolved to bind and infect humans."

US physicist Richard Muller said the unique make-up of Covid is a "fingerprint of genetic manipulation".

"It's like finding a fingerprint at a crime scene," he said. "If you pick up a gun at a crime scene and find a fingerprint, this is not circumstantial evidence.

"This is the smoking gun.

"The furin cleavage site... the sequences that they splice in if you're really trying to attack humans, this is the fingerprint."
