The Epoch Times An American scientist recently testified at a U.S. Senate hearing that his research provides evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology has conducted synthetic biology research on the deadly Nipah virus. Some scientists are expressing concern about Canada sending Nipah and Ebola viruses to a lab potentially engaged in such research.
“The Nipah virus is a smaller virus than SARS2 [virus causing COVID-19] and is much less transmissible. But it is one of the deadliest viruses, with a greater-than-60 percent lethality. This is 60-times deadlier than SARS2,” Dr. Steven Quay, a Seattle-based physician-scientist, told a Senate subcommittee at a hearing on Aug. 3.
Quay, who was previously on the faculty of Stanford University’s School of Medicine for about a decade, further said the work on Nipah at the Wuhan lab was not conducted at biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) facilities, which have the highest level of biosafety, but rather at BSL-2 or -3 facilities with lower safety protocols…
