U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has generated a lot of negative flak for promoting the idea that the WuFlu virus was a inadvertent release of a Chinese bioweapon. Could he know something that we do not?
Doubt it... but .... Consider this paper on virus-engineering, published in a well-known journal almost 10 years ago ! https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00705-010-0729-6 Essentially, the article has been claimed to provide a recipe for how to alter (or weaponize) the SARS virus using coronavirus proteins. The two are very similar. Is there a connection to the present situation - or is Sen Cotton being irresponsible in blaming China? (or both?) Notably one of the authors of the paper is a professor at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (his name is Dr. Shengli Shi)
