October 10, 2021<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration&#8217;s apparent unwillingness to conduct a serious official investigation of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 that holds China accountable for its actions and lack of cooperation could result in a pandemic much more lethal that the current one, warns a leading researcher.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Steven Quay, whose research became part of a State Department probe of the origin of COVID-19 under President Trump, told Fox News&#8217; Martha MacCallum on Friday that &#8220;all of the evidence points toward the lab theory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no evidence that supports a natural origin at this point,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So I think we&#8217;re done, at this point, with the investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s more vital than ever to stop the dangerous &#8220;gain-of-function&#8221; research \u2013 engineering viruses to make them more transmissible and lethal \u2013 going on at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Raw data from patient specimens posted in the National Institutes of Health&#8217;s gene bank showed researchers at the Wuhan lab in December 2019 were manipulating genes from the highly lethal Nipah virus, Quay said.<\/p>\n<p>The Nipah virus, which causes severe inflammation of the brain or encephalitis, has a death rate of about 80%, Quay warned.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you didn&#8217;t like the pandemic that was just 1% lethal, this thing they were working on in December 2019 has an 80% lethality,&#8221; he told MacCallum. &#8220;It needs to be stopped.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Quay told &#8220;Fox Business Tonight&#8221; on Thursday that virus research at the Wuhan lab poses &#8220;an existential threat to life as we know it on this planet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2021\/10\/new-virus-poses-existential-threat-life-know-planet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.wnd.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Art Moore &#8211;
