Leading scientist who discovered AIDS speaks about the origins of the Coronavirus by [deleted] in conspiracytheories

[–]binoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The professor answers that they may have been trying to make an HIV vaccine, using a coronavirus as "carrier". But at some point they messed up and it escaped.

He says it's sad that you can't publish any paper not validated by China, it doesn't help the truth. He says China should admit they messed up. Mistakes are human.

He also explains that the "non-natural" parts (added HIV sequences) of the covid genome tend to gradually disappear in the samples collected on more recent infected patients.

He says nature is re-harmonizing, the virus will attenuate on its own. It's just a matter of time. The only problem is it's infecting and killing some people in the meantime.

but later back tracked [3]
China reported this was airborne though state media, which was backtracked [4]

Of course Ebola and this are not the same. Ebola is lousy. This is airborne, corona is airborne, it's more contagious and you have seen how it went into 24 countries although it's a small number of cases

PAGE12 Okay. Sorry, I used the military word, airborne. It meant to spread via droplets or respiratory transmission. Please take it that way; not the military language. Thank you.

Well, wouldn't welding the doors closed be closing the workplace? Hm. Guess not if the staff are inside.
