Why The World Should Be More Than A Bit Worried About India's Nipah Virus Outbreak
Kamala Thiagarajan, NPR, Sep 12, 2021

Raw data from patient specimens posted in the National Institutes of Health's gene bank showed researchers at the Wuhan lab in December 2019 were manipulating genes from the highly lethal Nipah virus, Quay said. The Nipah virus, which causes severe inflammation of the brain or encephalitis, has a death rate of about 80%, Quay warned.

"If you didn't like the pandemic that was just 1% lethal, this thing they were working on in December 2019 has an 80% lethality," he told MacCallum. "It needs to be stopped."

Quay told "Fox Business Tonight" on Thursday that virus research at the Wuhan lab poses "an existential threat to life as we know it on this planet." He explained to MacCallum on Friday that Wuhan scientists were manipulating Nipah viruses, just as, he believes, they engineered SARS CoV-2. "This is their next project, if I could call it that," he said.
