- China’s now-notorious “bat woman” — the head of the Wuhan lab accused of being a possible source for the pandemic — has warned that deadly new mutations of COVID-19 will continue to emerge.
- Virologist Shi Zhengli gave the dire proclamation to state-run media this week as she joined calls for people to get vaccinated, according to the South Morning China Post (SCMP).
- “As the number of infected cases has just become too big, this allowed the novel coronavirus more opportunities to mutate and select,” Shi told Health Times under the state-run People’s Daily, SCMP said.
- “New variants will continue to emerge,” Shi warned.
- The current most dominant strain, the Delta one first identified in India, is also the most infectious and most dangerous, health officials have warned.
- But it could be soon be followed by a so-called Doomsday variant that is “Delta on steroids,” Michael Osterholm, head of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, recently told Newsweek.
- China and Shi have repeatedly denied long-running suspicions that the Wuhan lab either created or accidentally leaked the coronavirus, most recently detailed at length in a damning investigation by Republicans.
