Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- The issue of SARS-CoV-2’s origin is not a racial, cultural or political one. The real issue here is whether or not dangerous gain-of-function research is wise and whether it should be allowed to continue — anywhere
- If SARS-CoV-2 is an engineered manmade virus — as mounting research suggests — it is proof positive that gain-of-function research poses tremendous risks to humanity and that those risks far exceed any potential gain
- The risk of a laboratory release is immense. According to the Department of Homeland Security’s risk assessment for the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility in Kansas, the chances of a virus escaping the facility over its 50-year lifespan is 70%
- Researchers have identified inserted sections in the spike surface that allow SARS-CoV-2 to bind to human cells. They also warn that current efforts to develop a COVID-19 vaccine are likely to fail simply because the etiology of the virus has been misunderstood
- They also point out that choosing an adjuvant after the primary vaccine design work has been completed, which is how vaccine development is typically done, may be yet another serious mistake that could make a COVID-19 vaccine really dangerous

Fake newd. Why is there no reference given the amount of claims? Mounting research suggrst! Which research? Researchers have identified! Which researchers?
Fake news??? Did you even go to the original article? Not only are there links to the sources provided there is a section at the bottom of the article called Sources and References!!!
May I suggest that you actually read rather than prejudge!!!
The article is behind a pay wall. Not willing to pay with a valid email address in order to get spammed. If the information was that important it would be available freely and most of all – it would be shared widely. So, I have to agree with the comment by Pekos. No proof, no references, means the article is meaningless, its content lacks validity. Like so many other covid articles you keep posting that are all fluff. Dr. Mercola is a marketing genius pandering to the masses with click bait articles so that he can sell more products.… Read more »
Your perception is incorrect. If you read what is says as you scroll down it says very clearly “Read the Full Article for Free!” There is no paywall. All you have to do is sign up or login for free access. The site has been under attack by big tech and needed to find ways to generate revenue so they capture your login details so that can send you their newsletter. I have been signed up with them for years and never paid to visit the site. I just type in my email and the the full article is shown.… Read more »
JayTe, allow me repeat what I wrote: “Not willing to pay with a valid email address in order to get spammed.” My email is currency, a form of payment. Therefore it is in fact behind a paywall. Not willing to pay with any currency. That is how signing up to a site works – I pay with my email currency in order to get ‘free’ access. That is not free, my friend. If information is valid and significant it would be free. Dr. Mercola makes plenty of money from supplements. He is not asking for your email address in… Read more »
@Clarity, I find it amusing that you are accusing me for posting fluff articles. What articles that I have posted are fluff articles? If you actually read the articles, you will note that they ALL have links and references to the source material. Next on to your accusation that Dr. Mercola and that he doesn’t know what a liposome is. Once again if you actually understood what liposomes can be made of (i.e. sphingolipids, bioactive, fluorescent, sterols, and fatty acid modified lipids), I note that last one given is fatty acid modified lipids. Hmm could that be what… Read more »
I am obviously talking about man made liposomes. You need to step up your google searches. Surely you also know that liposomes need a hydration medium. The Mercola product lists Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid), lecithin, MCT oil, capsule material and paprika extract as ingredients. Aside from the fact that no hydration medium is present to enable the formation of liposomes, the next interesting bit is that ascorbic acid is not fat soluble. The organizations you mention do not check efficiency and efficacy. They merely check if the ingredient claim on the label match with product test results… Read more »
Ask for more money to push this tripe. It stinks.
Jack,
LOL! I have a better idea. Why don’t you contact Dr. Meryl Nass as she one of the key original sources for the article and you can tell her that she doesn’t know what she is talking about because obviously you know better! 🙂

From Wikipedia: “American charlatan, alternative medicine proponent, osteopathic physician, and Internet businessman, who markets dietary supplements and medical devices,[2] some of which are controversial.”
Oh dear, another one…

JayTe, what I take issue with are claims like these: “If SARS-CoV-2 is an engineered manmade virus — as mounting research suggests” You are not just being asked to provide a link to an article you refer to here, that is the bare minimum. But when you make claims that there is mounting evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is an engineered manmade virus then you better provide that evidence. You do not. Then you claim expertise when you keep proving the exact opposite. Or give answers that lack any substance. The next issue is that you do not seem to… Read more »
JayTe, I am curious. You constantly get bad ratings and people call you out in your comments. Why do you keep posting stuff that gets such bad reviews? We already know that you post yourself and the editor in chief of The Duran is in fact not doing any editing here or chiefing for that matter, so you are responsible for this all by yourself. Snax posts. Why not aim higher and create some posts people will actually find useful and might actually rate favorably? Takes work though. Right now you just read something somewhere, copy/paste a few pointers and… Read more »
