New evidence pandemic was engineered at Wuhan Institute of VirologyThe once ridiculed theory that the virus causing the COVID-19 pandemic was engineered at the Wuhan Institute of Virology continues to gain credibility, with the latest evidence coming from the discovery of an early version of the virus that appears to have been grown in a laboratory.
The Telegraph of London reported Wednesday that Hungarian researchers made the discovery by accident while examining genetic data from soil samples collected from Antarctica in late 2018 and early 2019.
The bioinformatics experts from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Lorand University in Budapest sent the samples to a lab in Shanghai, China, in December 2019 for sequencing, where they became contaminated with a previously unknown variant of COVID-19.
The Telegraph said the variant could be an ancestral version of SARS-CoV-2, with mutations that bridge the gap between bat coronavirus and the earliest Wuhan strain.
If in fact it was sequenced in December 2019, the timing would be significant, because China has declared that SARS-CoV-2 was not discovered until Dec. 30 to 31.
Significantly, the discovered virus fits the prediction by a team of evolutionary biologists in May 2021 of what an ancestor to SARS-CoV-2 should look like, with three particular mutations.
