The GX_P2V strain comes from pangolins. Does that make it a “mutant strain?” I don’t know, but calling it a “mutant strain” is far more sensationalist than calling it a “pangolin strain.” ACE2-transgenic mice have more receptors for COVID than humans, and are particularly susceptible to this variant, much moreso than humans. A 2023 study found that vaccinated individuals have greater immunity to the pangolin strain. Not saying that experimenting with GX_P2V is a good idea, but it is the sort of thing that scientists tend to do. It’s just another reason to get vaccinated.
What the cartoonist with a school-level education is describing is Genomic Surveillance. All viruses mutate as they reproduce; that is why you need a different flu shot every year. Scientists track these mutations so that they can prepare in case the variant becomes the dominant strain…and, yes, they expose these variants to mice. The United States CDC does this, as well as the Pasteur Institute in France.
The unvaccinated in the USA are working on developing their own deadly variant of Covid.
Look at how much child death dropped after vaccinations became mandatory for school children. Look how much child illness and death is rising in areas where parents are neglecting their children, by not getting them vaccinated.
Get vaccinated. As, has been going around this is a fact that is literately written in stone, as it is something that can be seen on tombstones in cemeteries.
