"Chinese Lab Develops 100% Lethal Mutant COVID-19 Strain Targeting Brain: Report"

Chinese scientists have created a mutant COVID-19 strain, GX_P2V, with a 100% mortality rate in "humanized" mice, causing rapid and severe symptoms leading to death within eight days. The virus, a mutated version of a coronavirus found in Malaysian pangolins in 2017, infected multiple organs including the brain, raising concerns about spillover risk into humans. Critics have condemned the study as scientifically pointless and potentially dangerous, emphasizing the lack of biosafety information and the need to halt such research. The study is not linked to the Wuhan lab and does not clarify the virus's impact on humans, leaving the origin of COVID-19 still uncertain.
