It is “beyond reasonable doubt” that SARS-CoV-2 was created through “laboratory manipulation”, according to a new study. The paper claims that the virus was made in a Wuhan lab by Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks by retro-engineering versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats. The authors’ study has been rejected by a number of academic publishers but is now set to be published in the scientific journal Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery in the coming days. The MailOnline has the story.
The paper’s authors, British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr Birger Sørensen, wrote that they have had “prima facie evidence of retro-engineering in China” for a year – but were ignored by academics and major journals.
Dalgleish is a Professor of Oncology at St George’s University, London, and is best known for his breakthrough in creating the first working “HIV vaccine”, to treat diagnosed patients and allow them to go off medication for months.
Sørensen, a virologist, is Chair of pharmaceutical company, Immunor, which developed a coronavirus vaccine candidate called Biovacc-19. Dalgleish also has share options in the firm.
The shocking allegations in the study include accusations of “deliberate destruction, concealment or contamination of data” at Chinese labs, and it notes the silencing and disappearance of scientists in the communist country who spoke out…
While analysing Covid samples last year in an attempt to create a vaccine, Dalgleish and Sørensen discovered “unique fingerprints” in the virus that they say could only have arisen from manipulation in a laboratory…
Even when former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove spoke out publicly saying the scientists’ theory should be investigated, the idea was dismissed as “fake news”…
Digging through archives of journals and databases [on experiments done at the Wuhan lab between 2002 and 2019], Dalgleish and Sørensen pieced together how Chinese scientists, some working in concert with American universities, allegedly built the tools to create the coronavirus.
Much of the work was centred around controversial “Gain of Function” research – temporarily outlawed in the U.S. under the Obama administration.
Gain of Function involves tweaking naturally occurring viruses to make them more infectious so that they can replicate in human cells in a lab, allowing the virus’s potential effect on humans to be studied and better understood.
Dalgleish and Sørensen claim that scientists working on Gain of Function projects took a natural coronavirus “backbone” found in Chinese cave bats and spliced onto it a new “spike”, turning it into the deadly and highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2.
One tell-tale sign of alleged manipulation the two men highlighted was a row of four amino acids they found on the SARS-CoV-2 spike.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Sørensen said the amino acids all have a positive charge, which cause the virus to tightly cling to the negatively charged parts of human cells like a magnet, and so become more infectious.
But because, like magnets, the positively charged amino acids repel each other, it is rare to find even three in a row in naturally occurring organisms, while four in a row is “extremely unlikely”, the scientist said.
“The laws of physics mean that you cannot have four positively charged amino acids in a row. The only way you can get this is if you artificially manufacture it,” Dalgleish told DailyMail.com.

To those who argue against the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 has weaponised capabilities on the basis that it is too pointlessly mild I refer you to the impact of the WHOLE OF THIS LAST YEAR.
Quite so, the aim of weaponising the virus need not to have been to kill or damage young people in large numbers but to panic risk averse countries with advanced economies into self-destruct mode and in this it has been highly successful.
It is well known that in battle it is more usefull to injure enemy personnel rather than kill them as their care and attention demands far more, and immediate, use of manpower and resources to tend for them.
The timing of release – at the height of US-Chinese trade war tensions was highly suspicious but I incline to an accidental release scenario.
Having seen Chinese quality control up close I 100% agree that an accidental release is most likely, not to say inevitable.
The whole reason of the Wuhan lab was to depopulate the world by 2050. Unfortunately Brexit and Trump threatened that programme. At all cost they needed to destroy the US dollar and they didn’t care who else was in the crossfire as depopulation was on the programme anyway.
Anyone who has understood this has been called a conspiracist. However, the stolen election, the Tories supporting a senile old man, the Western world finally showing its citizens they have sold them to China via the Globalist (Democrats) cartel, should frighten us all into waking up. The CCP have no compunction in taking human life. The Globalists have ruined the economies of the West in their greed and corruption. Governments have been bought and no linger know how to govern with a moral compass.
Until the gullible and the woke learn how they are being used and manipulated, we are on a very dangerous trajectory
I’m sorry but I have absolutely no idea what you mean by this. Are you being ironical? As in: “To those who say that it is ridiculous that this thing is a ‘bio-weapon’ I refer you to the fact that we have indeed seen no significant excess mortality at all in this last year and what little we have seen has likely been caused by the lockdowns not the virus”?
Because, sorry – I say this just in case you’re not being ironical – those are the facts. I mean, seriously, what world are you living in? The only way anyone is ever going to understand anything about what has happened this last year and a half is by beginning from, and holding to, the fact that there was no pandemic. There was no more a real pandemic at the basis of the 2020 lockdowns than there is at the basis of the one they are going to re-impose in June and extend into next year. Read my lips: there is N-O-T-H-I-N-G, zilch, nada….If you really are so far gone that you can’t believe the evidence of your own eyes, nothing can be done for you.
You’ve wilfully ignored what I said. I said, quote, “I refer you to the impact of the WHOLE OF THIS LAST YEAR.”. Where in that statement did I say that Covid had a big direct impact from the point of view of mortality? I never denied it was pointlessly mild. My position is that a pointlessly mild virus is a perfectly serviceable biological weapon as precisely demonstrated by the events of the past year!
It’s value as a weapon was valuable exactly in proportion to its novelty and nothing more.
I’m afraid some have watched too many Hollywood movies to understand more subtle possible narratives.
If you wanted to screw the West via the venal actors in this shit-show – this would have been a brilliant strategy.
No. Our own shit stirring traitors like certain shills in Westminster and the media and education created this situation. To blame a virus or the Chinese is to completely miss the point. This situation is 98% psyop, 2% virus. Traitors within the UK are doing this to us
Good to see the Daily Mail resurrect this story. It, or one very like it, got some press attention early or middle of last year but, as Michael’s article points out, it was dismissed as “fake news” and a Trumpism so duly buried.
Can’t possibly be true, as the BBC and MSM factcheckers all looked at this last year and unanimously decided it was Wah Drumpf fake news and admitting trump was correct all the time will crate too much cognitive dissonance:
“The baseless claim — which we first addressed in the early days of the pandemic — was further amplified when Fox News host Tucker Carlson featured an interview with one of the authors of the paper on his show on Sept. 15.
That segment was viewed on YouTube nearly 2 million times and that link alone was shared by more nearly 50,000 users on Facebook, according to CrowdTangle analytics data, where other popular posts also repeated the allegations.
But experts say the new paper, which has not been peer-reviewed, does not prove that the virus was created in a lab”
https://www.factcheck.org/2020/09/report-resurrects-baseless-claim-that-coronavirus-was-bioengineered/
Faceless experts say – aka power drunk quacks.
Well done Dalgleish and Sorenesen for speaking out.
Would that be the very spike protein the rna vaccines cause our own cells to make?
‘Factcheck’? More circumstantial evidence that it is entirely likely.
Who knew?
Daily Mail readers do now, 10k comments in 24 hours is several times more than usual.
The function it gained was to turn people into bedwetters and hysterics
Meanwhile the chinese are buying up property and businesses in this country like there’s no tomorrow, which there might well not be.
Anyone selling to the chinese should be had up for treason… Oh no, that one was taken off the statute books by Bliar….
That deserves a Katty Kay style “wow!” and a grovelling apology from the BBC Disinformation Unit for its constant depiction of sceptics as lunatic conspiracists.
The Chinese didn’t need to kill millions of our people, our own government decided to do that
o/t. I’ve just watched a YouTube advert from Hoseasons, the UK provider of domestic holidays in chalet/lodge complexes or camps.
After reassuring us that all fees and deposits will be refunded in full in case of cancellation caused by changed lockdown rules they end with an (added) voiceover
‘And minimised contacts with other guests’
Sounds like a barrel of fun, I thought that for many people part of the pleasure of going on holiday was to meet new people and possibly make new friends.
“Welcome to Stalag Hoseasons, fraternisation is not permitted”
At the very least, it can be said that anyone who still refuses to admit the possibility of a lab leak origin is essentially sweeping 3.5 million (and counting) deaths under the carpet.
3.5 million who died like every other year of whatever.
Nonsense.
The mortality figures are complete fabrications, deaths ‘with’ not ‘of’, died within 28 days etc
You see, this is why I am completely convinced that this new willingness of the controlled media to discuss the Wuhan leak story and even to push it is just another layer of psy op.
This poor dim-witted prick Rick Bradford may well actually believe he’s carrying out some big aggressive push forward “from our side” by repeating this ridiculous lying dreck. He thinks he’s “got the globalists” on this one, so the bigger the catastrophe he’s “gotten” them on the better, right?
The poor deluded fool just cannot grasp that the whole play of the globalists is to sell us the idea of a “catastrophe” – the idea that “something terrible has happened”.
Odd as it may sound to say it, they don’t really care if they are the ones who are given the blame. The important thing is that people believe there has been a catastrophe.
This really is the oddest, scariest thing about this stage of the psy op. It’s Bre’er Rabbit and his “don’t throw me in the briar patch”. There is nothing that Fauci loves more than hearing someone like Rand Paul accusing him of “killing millions” etc. All his kicking and screaming and “no! no! please don’t go there!”s are just play-acting. Now the globalists actually have people like Rand Paul and Tucker Carlson – and a million other smaller-time “useful idiots” like Rick here – trumpeting their lies louder than they ever could. And doing it with the certainty that they’re “exposing things the globalists desperately want to keep hidden”!
Your posts would carry much more weight if you didn’t insult other posters, and didn’t assume that you are the only or first person to whom the ideas you put forward have occurred.
For what it’s worth, I do think we should be cautious about everything that is coming from the msm and semi official sources, and you are right to point this out.
The release of a man-made virus is a catastrophe even if it was harmless. If you can’t see what implications there are to such an event you are well and truly missing the point.
Maybe it’s time to ban or even bomb bio weapons labs then we won’t have this issue

London Freedom Rally
A pity Ruptly has captioned it “Covid 19” sceptics rather than Lockdown sceptics
Banners and posters make it clear.
16.30 Rally still peacefully walking but with a squad of a dozen or so normal helmeted Police moving purposefully up and down the marchers for no obvious reason.
The only weapon is the west political weapon of mass destruction.
As for SARS-CoV-2, it is a disease so deadly you have to be tested to see if you have it.
This place is morphing into Lockdown Sycophants seeking to absolve western governments of their responsibility.
It kind of always was, Ken, but good point. I wonder how many of these people clapping and cheering for the two pet government scientists being “brave” enough to confirm the Wuhan lab nonsense as fact are actually themselves paid government shills and how many are just so pitifully stupid that they’ve fallen for this
On the same day as Gates and co (WEF John Hopkins and others) were gaming a pandemic in New york, the World Military games were commencing in Wuhan- October 18–27, 2019, 10,000 athletes,- Did C-19 escape from a lab?, is it man made?. It’s all epidemic as Del boy would say..but however it happened all the pieces were well positioned, and we are where we are.
I don’t believe this. It is a little bit too convenient.
Once the virus was out virtually every government across the world decided to indulge in mass testing of people who had no symptoms with a test process which was patently not suited to the job.
Casedemic up and running and running still.
The WHO then stepped into the fray and rather than apply some common sense and suggest calming measures started screaming PANDEMIC a la Corporal Jones but without the “don’t panic.”
Strangely, virtually all governments instead of telling the corrupt WHO to Fuck Off then jumped into identical lockdown procedures which continue to this day.
So, this wasn’t an accident AT ALL, it was just the start of the Nightmare.
The story is BOLLOX!
whatever caused it, this “virus” is just what TPTB needed to fast-track radical global change in such a way that didn’t cause mass riots and rebellion. It’s simply too coincidental that Event 201 was carried out in October 2019. This whole thing was planned. All this stuff in the MSM about China and about Boris’s response to the phone pandemic is just a smokescreen.
And guess who was funding them……Anthony Fauci with the approval of Joe Biden.
Of all the wetmarkets in all the world, the epidemic just happened to break out in one a stone’s throw away from a level 4 Biosecurity lab performing gain of function experiments on corona viruses.
Time for the world to wake up. These people really do want to kill us all.
Very cunning of the Chinese to develop a virus that makes people go so stupid that they’ll believe everything that they’re told.
