This is insane. Where is PETA on this matter?

Chinese scientists have been experimenting with a mutant coronavirus
strain that is 100 percent lethal in mice — despite concerns such
research could spark another pandemic.

Scientists in Beijing — who are linked to the Chinese military — cloned
a Covid-like virus found in pangolins, known as GX_P2V, and used it to
infect mice.

The mice had been 'humanized', meaning they were engineered to express a protein found in people, with the goal being to assess how the virus
might react in humans.

Every rodent that was infected with the pathogen died within eight days,
which the researchers described as 'surprisingly' quick.

The team were also surprised to find high levels of viral load in the
mice's brains and eyes - suggesting the virus, despite being related to
Covid, multiplies and spreads through the body in a unique way.

Writing in a scientific paper that has not yet been published, they
warned the finding 'underscores a spillover risk of GX_P2V into 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.'

For the new research, eight mice were infected with the virus, eight
were infected with an inactivated virus and eight were used as a control
group.

All mice infected with the virus died. They succumbed to the infection
between seven and eight days after being infected.

Symptoms included their eyes turning completely white, rapid weight loss
and fatigue.

Researchers found 'significant amounts' of the virus in the rodents'
brains, lungs, noses, eyes and windpipes.

By day six, the viral load had 'significantly decreased' in the lungs,
but the animals' brains had shrunk and there were 'exceptionally high'
virus levels in their brains.

The results suggest that the virus infects via the respiratory system
and then migrates to the brain - unlike Covid which causes lower lung infections and pneumonia in severe cases. However, there have been
examples of Covid being found in brain tissue of severely sick patients.

'Severe brain infection during the later stages of infection may be the
key cause of death in these mice,' the researchers said.

They concluded: 'This is the first report showing that a
SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus can cause 100 percent mortality
in hACE2 mice, suggesting a risk for GX_P2V to spill over into humans.'

However, the original strain of Covid also killed 100 percent in mice in
some studies, meaning the new results may not be directly applicable to
humans.

Dr Gennadi Glinsky, a retired professor of medicine at Stanford, said on
social media: 'This madness must be stopped before [it is] too late.'
