100% Fatality Rate of GX_P2V Coronavirus in Transgenic Mice

from Joannes Wyckmans Podcast · host Joannes J.A. Wyckmans

Briefing: 100% Fatality Rate of GX_P2V Coronavirus in Transgenic MiceExecutive SummaryA recent preprint study from research institutions in China has identified a SARS-related pangolin coronavirus, designated as GX_P2V, which exhibited a 100% fatality rate in "humanized" transgenic mice. The research, conducted by scientists affiliated with institutions in Beijing and Nanjing—including individuals with links to the Chinese military—reveals that the virus causes death primarily through late-stage brain infection (encephalitis).Unlike the inflammatory "cytokine storms" associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, this virus progresses from initial respiratory infection to a lethal neurological decline. The study’s publication has raised significant international concerns regarding biosafety levels (BSL), the risks of laboratory leaks, and the ethics of "gain-of-function" style research on potential pandemic pathogens.
