CoVid19 Is Not Germ Warfare

from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/IHwvx_cgwDQ   Genetic analysis of the novel coronavirus CoVid19 conclusively shows it was not genetically engineered to become a biological agent in a political or economic war.  The evidence just published in the journal Nature is compelling enough to convince all but the most stubborn science deniers.   Studying longitudinal samples of the virus, the virus’ overall structure and outer coat spike protein are not compatible with genetic manipulation of a known dangerous coronavirus such as those that caused the previous SARS and MERS epidemics.  CoVid19 evolved from a bat virus, and the previous coronaviruses originated in civets and camels.     Unwarranted conspiracy theories are divisive and block our efforts to live through  CoVid19.   Kristian G.
