A senior US health official today admitted that controversial Covid manipulation research carried out in a laboratory in Boston was not authorized — despite being funded by taxpayer money.
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed yesterday that a team from Boston University had developed a hybrid Covid virus — combining the Omicron and original Wuhan strains — which had an 80 per cent lethality rate.
Public records indicate it was partly paid for using a grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the federal government's main research agencies.
As part of any Government-funded research grants, teams have to explain what the money is being used for and how it will benefit the public.
But today, Dr Emily Erbelding, director of NIAID’s division of microbiology and infectious diseases, said the Boston team did not clear the work with the agency.
She claims she only found out the experiments might have involved enhancing a pathogen of pandemic potential after reading reports in the media on Monday.
Dr Erbelding admitted feeling uneasy about the type of research the grants had been used to fund — given the lingering questions about the role of virus manipulation studies and the origins of Covid.
Boston University's biosafety level 3 National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory extracted the spike protein from Omicron and attached it to the original Wuhan strain that first emerged in China.
The team then exposed it to human cells in a petri dish and to live mice. The mutant virus killed 80 per cent of the rodents.
The researchers quickly came under fire from many scientists and politicians alike who said they were 'playing with fire' and accused them of conducting 'gain-of-function' research.

This research is ILLEGAL... it is a GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH that has no other value than to produce a virus that KILLS PEOPLE... Where is the FBI and why hasn't the leadership at Boston University been indicted and put on trial? Where are the NIH and CDC on oversight and ordering the new virus to be immediately destroyed and all of the research sequestered and destroyed after the TRIAL for those engaged in this criminal biowarfare research,
The FBI are too busy going after Trump Supporters
Hummm - sounds like cya to me. Either way - something is radically wrong that it was created. I don't know aobut any of you, but I have a difficult time believing anything that comes out of the NIA or NIAID. They have lied too many times.
Of course all that will actually happen is that Dr. Erbelding will continue to "feel uneasy" about the research. No one will take control and stop this biological nuclear bomb from being developed or destroy the results. After all, customers like China, Russia, North Korea and Iran are already lined up to pay big money to Biden and the Dems for the "product"! We wouldn't want to disappoint them now, would we?
This is an easy one. PUT THE BOSTON UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS IN JAIL AND DESTROY ALL THEIR WORK!
Exactly... gain function research on bioweapons is illegal... this virus has no civl or peaceful uses... it needs to be destroyed along with all of the research data and protocols used to create it. Those individuals who created this virus need to be in prison... period.
They will not be happy until they kill off 80% of the worlds population
Hahahahahaha........and it keeps on going, no one gets punished!
Of course, we live in a dictatorship after all!
Most don't know it yet, but soon it will become obvious even to the thickest heads
