Although from a different lineage as the COVID-19 virus, experiments
suggest the bat viruses can get into human cells and evade immunity.

Story at a glance
Researchers are studying the coronavirus in animals to get an
understanding of what is circulating in animal populations.
One study finds a bat coronavirus can enter human cells.
In laboratory tests, it was also able to resist antibodies from SARS-CoV-
2.
The World Health Organization’s Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in May
that because of reduced testing and sequencing “we are blinding ourselves
to the evolution of the virus.” Similarly, because coronaviruses are found
in other mammals, it is important to be aware of what is circulating among
animal populations. A team of researchers at Washington State University
and Tulane University School of Medicine is aiming to do just that.

In a paper published in PLoS Pathogens, they detail two coronaviruses
detected in a population of horseshoe bats in Russia. The lineages of the
viruses are separate from original SARS-CoV-1 from 2003 and SARS-CoV-2,
which is responsible for the current pandemic.

However, the researchers think that it is useful to study coronaviruses in
wild animals to understand viral evolution and potential for crossover
into humans.

They sequenced the bat coronaviruses and tested them in the laboratory
against human cells. The bat viruses had a receptor binding domain, a part
of the virus that can bind to molecules on the membranes of cells, that
were able to help them enter human cells.

The team also tested the viruses against SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies
and serum from individuals vaccinated for SARS-CoV-2 that contained
antibodies. One of the two bat coronaviruses was resistant to both
monoclonal antibodies and vaccine-induced antibodies. They had a similar
result when they tested it against antibodies from someone who recovered
from an infection of an omicron variant.

“We don’t want to scare anybody and say this is a completely vaccine-
resistant virus,” says Michael Letko, who is assistant professor in the
Paul Allen School of Public Health at Washington State University and led
the study, to TIME. “But it is concerning that there are viruses
circulating in nature that have these properties—they can bind to human
receptors and are not so neutralized by current vaccine responses.”

One of the main concerns is if these bat coronaviruses can combine with
SARS-CoV-2 and lead to new variants. If these new variants inherit immune
evasive characteristics, that could be a problem for us.

While it’s not a signal for alarm, studies like this will be important to
know what lineages and versions of coronaviruses are circulating in the
wild and how they may relate to what’s circulating in humans. Letko says,
“These viruses are really widespread everywhere, and are going to continue
to be an issue for humans in general.”

Haven't we seen this movie before? This same cast of characters who
brought us the gain of function (GOF) SARS Cov2 pandemic, rather than
being brought up on charges of crimes against humanity, seem to continue
to be funded by the same billionaires who want to depopulate the planet.
May God help us.

The lead was "experiment" not study. Not an inspiring start.

A Giant “Screw You” to Taxpayers: Fauci’s Pal Dr. Peter Daszak Is
Awarded New Government NIH Grant to Study Bat Coronavirus in Asia

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/10/giant-screw-youscrew-taxpayers-dr-peter-daszak-awarded-new-government-nih-grant-study-bat-coronavirus/

On March 28, 2016, Dr. Peter Daszak described exactly how scientists
could create a virus in a China lab that would lead to a global
coronavirus pandemic.

Dr. Daszak: We found other coronaviruses in bats a whole host of them.
Some of them looked very similar to SARS so we sequenced the spike
protein, the protein that attaches to cells. Then we, well I didn’t do
this work my colleagues in China did the work, you create
pseuda-particles. You create a spike proteins from those viruses simply
bind to human cells. each step of this you move closer and closer to
this virus could really become pathogenic to people.

Today there is documentation and email evidence of Dr. Peter Daszak
admitting that he and Fauci were doing work in collaboration with the
Chinese virologists at the Wuhan virology lab.

Fauci and Daszak Lied

On February 1, 2020, when confronted with first evidence the Covid
pandemic may have originated in the Wuhan Lab he funded via Daszak’s
EcoHealth Alliance, Fauci organized a conference call, apparently to
discuss how to suppress this dangerous information, since the trail led
straight to them.

On Feb. 19, 2020, Daszak, Farrar and others published a letter in The
Lancet, saying that “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy
theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.”

This letter was then used to suppress and censor the Chinese lab leak
theory in Mainstream Media and on social media for over a year. There
was, and remains, no evidence for the “scientists’” claims that COVID-19
was a naturally occurring virus.

There is also evidence that US doctors and institutions knew they were
working with the Chinese military on COVID-related research.
Now this — Just when you thought the world could not get any crazier,
Dr. Peter Daszak was just awarded a new grant to study bat viruses in
Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam.

Paid for by US taxpayers.

Dr. Peter Daszak and EcoHealth were awarded a new grant to study bat
viruses in Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam.

Via the NIH Report.

The study began on September 21, 2022 and lasts until August 2027. It is
a five-year study. The total project funding information for the year
2022 was $653,392.

2022 was $653,392.

They should just round it up to 2,000,000.
Easier to say and remember.
