7-2-20  Asked about whether this implies that the virus is not natural, Norwegian virologist

Birger Sørensen goes on to explain the laboratory process that leads to the creation of new viruses.  “In a sense it is natural.  But the natural processes have most likely been accelerated in a laboratory,” he explains.  “It’s also possible for a virus to attain these properties in nature, but it’s not likely.  If the mutations had happened in nature, we would have most likely seen that the virus had attracted other properties through mutations, not just properties that help the virus to attach itself to human cells.”

  Sørensen vividly explains this argument:  “Imagine that you have cultivated a billion coronaviruses you have gathered from nature, then you take this mass of viruses and inject them into a human cell culture from for example the upper respiratory tract.  As a result a few of these viruses will change in order to better attach themselves to this type of cell in the nose and throat region and therefore to infect humans more easily. You end up with a virus with a spike protein which is perfect for attaching to and penetrating human cells,” Sørensen explains.

  Asked about the particular mutations in the virus that lead to this conclusion, Sørensens says “What we see is that an area that you could observe in the first SARS coronavirus has been moved, so that the parts of the virus that are particularly well suited to attach to humans, have become part of the spike protein that the virus uses to penetrate human cells.  And it is this moving of the area of the virus which makes the virus, together with the injected areas explained above, able to utilise an additional receptor to infect humans”--how a component of the virus which previously was situated on another part of the shell of the virus now has become a part of the spike protein of the virus.

  Sørensen also highlights other data than those related to the virus’ properties:  “The properties that we now see in the virus we have yet to discover anywhere in nature.  We know that these properties make the virus very infectious so if it came from nature, there should also be many animals infected with this, but we have still not been able to trace the virus in nature.  The only place we are aware of where an equivalent virus to that which causes Covid-19 exists is in a laboratory.  So the simplest and most logical explanation is that it comes from a laboratory.  Those who claim otherwise have the burden of proof” -Sørensen…. 

  “Nobody wants to put forward the inconvenient truth, many scientists are also concerned about their own funding and position if they were to put forward such a controversial hypothesis.  It is nevertheless a fact that many people on the web have engaged in such a debate.  But so far those who participate in such forums are characterized as conspiratorial.  It is also the case that a debate about this type of viral research and the technologies used may damage reputation and lead to new restrictions on how to conduct molecular genetic research.  With this in mind it is not difficult to see that it must be difficult to get accepted papers in peer reviewed journals that focus on such research", Sørensen elaborates.  Translation from Norwegian by Kathrine Moore   https://www.minervanett.no/corona/the-most-logical-explanation-is-that-it-comes-from-a-laboratory/361860
