Molnupiravir, the oral pill for COVID-19, may actually be driving the emergence of new, potentially harmful, variants of the virus, according to a Wellcome Trust-funded study at the pre-print stage.
Health officials from Europe and the US are calling for international action to tackle the spread of avian influenza as fears grow that the virus could mutate and spread among humans.
YouTube has removed Project Veritas’ bombshell undercover footage of Pfizer research director Jordon Trishton Walker talking about the company exploring “directed evolution” research on the COVID-19 virus to create deliberate mutations.
As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, new questions have emerged about the origin of the virus and whether one of its more pathogenic variants, Delta, may have originated from Pfizer Inc.'s India operations.
A Pfizer executive claims in a video that the company had been exploring ways to "mutate" the coronavirus via "directed evolution" by experimenting on monkeys and the Delta variant, which is more contagious, was discovered in India a month after Pfizer announced its monkey research.
“Promise you won’t tell anyone. The way [the experiment] would work is that we put the virus in monkeys, and we successively cause them to keep infecting each other, and we collect serial samples from them," the Pfizer executive says.
Less than a month after the CDC marked the two-year anniversary of the first administered COVID-19 vaccine by telling Americans to get a bivalent booster, two peer-reviewed German studies have found that mRNA vaccines — the vast majority of the U.S. market — induce worse antibodies compared to traditional adenovirus vaccines.
